Fri Cookout Canceled

Due to lack of attendance and conflicts (1st communion) the Prospective Leader Cookout (Friday, 6pm) has been canceled.

Please, if anyone is available to help the Pack in any manner in 2008/2009, contact me at rick.denne@cox.net (if you haven't already done so). I will be happy to find you a position that suits your needs. Thanks!

Please Join Us for a Prospective Leader Cookout on May 2nd

We need your help to make our Pack even better!  If you are interested in helping out a little or a lot,
please come to the Denne house on Friday, May 2nd @ 6pm for a Pack-sponsored cookout.  
Please RSVP by April 29 by email: rick.denne@cox.net.
We have plenty of different types of positions available for 2008/2009
and a new incentive program (see below)

Pack 359 Leader Incentive Program

In order to increase volunteer participation in our Pack, a new incentive program is available to any adults interested in serving our scouts. In addition to St. Columbkille service hours, serving as a scout leader at any level will now earn various discounts for the 2008/2009 school year (listed below). The Pack committee will vote on any unforeseen issues and can end the program at any time.

Remember, the purpose of this program is to recruit new leadership! We need your help to improve our organization. Plus, you get to spend quality time with your scout…

April Pack Meeting is Next Week!

On Tuesday, April 22nd we will have our monthly Pack meeting in the Social Level at 7pm. And this will be a big one!

First, we have many important advancements for Tigers, Wolves, and Bears. Don't miss your scout being awarded the badge they've worked all year to earn!

Second, the theme this month is Magic, and the Bears will be putting on a short magic show.

And third, this meeting is our annual "Fellers" Cake Auction! Please see the earlier posting here for the info. (If you cannot see the link then go to www.cubpack359.com and view the posting from April 2nd for details.) Don't forget that the cakes need to be at the social level no later than 6:45pm! Please support our pack by baking a cake :O)

As usual, the whole family (plus grandparents) is invited to attend. Since this will be a busy meeting, we will be starting promptly at 7pm. See you there!

Last Call for Strategic Air & Space Museum Overnight!

If you are interested in attending the overnight at the museum, you have 1 week left! You need to be signed up and have your payment to Rick Denne by April 11th.

IMPORTANT Since we will be traveling outside the metro, all driving participants must add their info to a Tour Permit. I am counting on Den Leaders to coordinate this with their parents. We need to get this form to council by 4/11 also. The Tour Permit is here. We should also make sure that all scouts have a Health Form with them at this event, just in case. The Health Form is here.

Check out the calendar for more info... Hope to see you there!

April Pack Meeting is the Cake Bake Auction

On April 22nd, Pack 359 will again have our annual Cake Bake Auction. Each scout should prepare a cake according the rules.
For the rules, please see CakeBakeRules2008.pdf at http://groups.google.com/group/pack359/files

Proceeds from the auction benefit the Pack, which helps pay for our events. Please remember to invite the whole family, including grandparents. It will be a fun night!
