Den Meetings to Start the Week of 9/1

Den meetings are to start the week of 9/1, with the exception of Monday meetings due to labor day. Here is the current schedule, with all of the den meetings taking place at the Scout Center (below Sacred Heart Preschool):

DAY	TIME	LOCATION	Den
Mondays	6:30-7:30PM	Scout Center, front room	Wolves
Mondays	7:30-8:30PM	Scout Center, front room	Webelos I
Tuesdays	6:30-7:30PM	Scout Center, front room	Bears
Tuesdays	6:30-7:30PM	Scout Center, back room	Tigers
Thursdays	6:30-7:30PM	Scout Center, front room	Webelos II

IMPORTANT: The Tigers were scheduled for Tuesdays at 6:30 pm as a placeholder only. Once the group is assembled, they can pick from other times that are available (e.g. Mon at 6:30pm, Back Room).

The Wolves (2nd G) and Webelos Is (4th G) will not meet on 9/1 due to Labor Day.

Don't forget that the first Pack meeting is on next Tuesday, August 26th at 7 p.m. in the Social Level!

Come to the Aug 26 Pack Meeting/Open House

Please join us for the first pack meeting of the year, on Tuesday, August 26th at 7 p.m. in the St. Columbkille Social Level. The highlight of the meeting: Amazing Arthur the magician will be there to entertain you! Plus, the kids can enjoy ice cream sundaes. This meeting is all fun and no boring information (just to ease you back into the swing of the school year).
As always, families are encouraged to attend. This is also our Open House; scouts are welcome to bring friends interested in joining our pack.

This year's pack schedule is now online in the calendar found on www.cubpack359.com. Check it out! One major change this year: the pack pinewood derby has been moved from January to March to avoid building cars over the holidays.

FYI: the Bear scouts (3rd graders) are responsible for covering the August 24th Knights of Columbus pancake breakfast. Your den leaders will be contacting you soon for help with this event...

Lost & Found

There were 2 items left at the Papio Pool after the Pack swim party in July: an MTV Beach towel and a red baseball t-shirt. If you are missing one of these items, please contact Rick Denne. Thank you.

Popcorn Kernel Wanted

We need your help! My wife and I have discussed this and have decided that we have too much on our plate for either of us to be Popcorn Kernel (PK, the person in charge of our annual popcorn sale) this year. So, I am asking for someone to step forward...

There is a popcorn kickoff meeting on Aug 21, but sales do not begin until September (pre orders due 9/10, etc.). The sale lasts for about a month. This job entails managing our inventory, getting more popcorn if we run out, holding the money, and briefing the scouts.

Since John Guhl was the PK last year, I'm sure he can give guidance. And I (and other leaders) will help as much as possible, we just need someone to take the helm. Also, a couple of people could share this responsibility.

Please consider helping because this is extremely important to our Pack. Click here to email me if you can help...

Thanks,
Rick Denne
