La Vista Days Parade May 29th

Our pack has been invited to participate in the La Vista Days parade, Memorial Day weekend; we will continue to participate in the Papillion Days Parade (June 19). So, now you can pick a parade that works for your family! (or, go to both)

Meet at the Scout Center at noon on Saturday, May 29th. We will then, as a group, drive to the line-up position at 96th and Granville Pkwy in La Vista. Scouts should wear their uniforms and bring sunblock. We will provide water for the scouts. Scouts will ride on our float in the parade while adult leaders walk and hand out tattoos. This our first year in the LV parade; it should be fun!

Last Pack Meeting of the Year - May 18th

Come join us for the last Pack meeting of the year, with a bit of fun. Meet at Papio Greens at 7pm on Tuesday, May 18th for a short meeting and then some putt-putt. The entire family can come and play, paid for by the Pack. We'll have prizes and treats, too!
If the weather prevents us from playing outside we'll meet in the Social Level - please watch your email for updates.

IMPORTANT: Please RSVP to rick.denne@cox.net (do not reply to this email) with the number of adults and kids coming to Papio Greens so that we have an accurate number to give to the management.

HELP: Are there any avid golfers in the Pack? We're in need of a few that can teach interested scouts how to swing a club at the driving range, and possibly help them earn their golf belt loop. Please contact rick.denne@cox.net if you can help. Thanks!

Papio Greens is located by Canoyer Nursery, on 66th between Cornhusker and 370: click for map (Directions from 72nd and Cornhusker)

Now is the time to sign up for camps - some are close to registration deadlines!

With camps just around the corner, we need everyone to fill out and turn in a health form for all scouts, adults, and siblings attending any of the camps. If you can fill out a form ahead of time, please use this link here. Please fill out only Parts A & C. You can enter info digitally and save it for future updates. Please bring your form to the pack meeting. Email or call with any questions...

Mother's Day Pancake Breakfast - ALL HANDS

IMPORTANT - do not reply to this email - Google's reply feature is not working. Instead, please email rick.denne@cox.net.

Sunday, May 9th (2 weeks away), is Mother's Day and the last pancake breakfast for this school year. We need everyone's help (all dens) to support this breakfast, since everyone has plans for the day. And this is the busiest pancake breakfast for the Knights, so we need more scouts and parents there than the typical breakfast. Please sign up your scout for at least 1 slot. If everyone pitches in, then it will be easy!

Leaders and parents, please let me know if you can be there too, since our scouts will need some supervision.


Open slots are listed in bold red below. We really need help with Shift 4!
Shift 1
7:30 AM-9:00 am
Scouts: SD NM SW ND S5
Adults: JA BM TW RD

Apr 19th Pack Meeting (Cake Bake) and more

The whole family is invited to the Pack meeting on Monday, April 19th at 7pm in the Social Level. This Pack meeting is our annual Feller's Cake Bake. Rules and category assignments were sent out in a previous email. Your scout must create a cake within his assigned category. (If you have questions, please contact your den leader.)

Reminder: Cakes should be delivered to the social level by 6:45 PM on April 19. The judging will be done at this time.

Also, we will be registering scouts for all camps at the pack meeting (see earlier post for camp info, on www.cubpack359.com). Please bring your checkbooks and calendars. (This includes the late registration for the Cabela's Day Camp.)

Scouting for Food Part II
Please meet at 8:45am this Saturday (April 17) in the St. Columbkille north parking lot by the library to help pick up the food donations. If we have another good group then the pick up will completed quickly.

Hope to see you there!

Scouting for Food, Apr 10th and 17th

Saturday April 10th is the kick-off for the annual food collection drive, "Scouting For Food". Our Pack will place bag hangers on doors in the neighborhood behind Super Target. The hangers ask homeowners to place food donations outside 1 week later on April 17th, when our scouts will pick up the donations for delivery to the food bank. (In past years we only put out hangers, but this year due to our increased size we will handle both the drop off and the pick up.)

Last year, Scouts and volunteers collected over 381,000 items of food for those in need in 484 communities served by the Mid-America Council. This community-wide drive helps reinforce the value of the Scout motto, “Doing a Good Turn Daily.”

We need all scouts and leaders to meet at 8:45 am at the north St. Columbkille school lot (by the library) on both April 10th and April 17th. Please wear scout uniforms. If we have a lot of help we can get this done more quickly. Sibling and adult help is also welcome. Please, we need everyone to help accomplish this task! Thanks...
