Come to the Aug 24th Pack Meeting/Open House

Please join us for the first pack meeting of the year, on Tuesday, August 24th at 7 p.m. in the St. Columbkille Social Level. (The Social Level is located directly beneath the church with an entrance on the south side of the building.) The highlight of the meeting: Amazing Arthur the magician will be there to entertain you! 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.

New scouts do not need to worry about uniforms just yet; plenty of time for that in the next month.

This year's pack schedule is now online in the calendar found on www.cubpack359.com. Check it out!

Ice Cream Social on August 15th

Please join us for the first event of the year: our annual ice cream social on Sunday August 15th, from 3pm - 4:30pm at the recently refurbished park in Halleck Park, across the street from Papio Fun Park. Meet the new scouts or catch up with friends from last year. Families are welcome to join us and please bring along any friends that may be interested in joining scouts too!

See you there!

Summer Splash at Schwer July 21

Come join the Pack for summer fun on Wednesday, July 21st at the Schwer Splash Pad from 5pm - 8pm. The water park is located west of Super Target and includes a pavilion. So bring the family and your swim suits! More info on the water park can be found here:
http://www.papillion.org/public_works_parks_splashpad.cfm

The Pack will provide dinner (hot dogs, chips, pop) and dessert (flavor ice). For those that need a break from the water fun, we'll also have some games set up.

And after we're done with dinner, we'll race our first annual Raingutter Regatta! Each scout can get a free kit that includes the supplies to build their boat. At the race, the scout will blow on the boat's sail to propel their craft down the gutter. 2 tracks will allow 2 scouts to race head-to-head. Building the boats should be much easier than building the pinewood derby cars. Hopefully this race will be a lot of fun. Scouts can pick up their regatta kits at either the Denne or George households (email rick.denne@cox.net for more info).

See you at the Summer Splash!

Please join us for our June event, the Papillion Days Parade on Saturday, June 19th. (This also counts toward the summertime pack award for the scouts.) The scouts get to ride on our float and do the "parade wave". If you are planning on your scout riding on the float in the parade please reply to this email to let me know (so we have enough room for everyone).

Please arrive at the Scout Center (June 19th) at 1pm. You can drop off your scout at the school's north parking lot (things may be a bit congested on the side streets by then). The parade lineup is at 1:30pm and the parade starts at 2pm. We will keep the scouts cool in the scout center, watching Looney Tunes.

Scouts should be in uniform and don't forget sunblock (it's always a hot day). We will have water on hand. See you then!

Additionally, our Pack will have a 'Raingutter Regatta' in July (think pinewood derby with boats, but a LOT less work). We will hand out the kits at the parade (we will get the kits to those scouts who cannot be at the parade). An email will be be sent in the near future with the info about the July picnic.

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!
