September 2009 All Scout Parents, I am typing this letter to remind all parents of 1st year scouts that you can purchase items for your scout at the Scout Shop on Broad Ave. in Findlay, OH. Some of the items you will need are: Book, 1st Grade are Tigers, 2nd Grade are Wolf, 3rd Grade are Bear, and 4th Grade are Webelo I, and 5th Grade are Webelo II, you will need corresponding neckerchief and clasp and shirt with patches. You will not need to buy a hat or belt unless you want to. Some of the awards are belt loops and fit on the scout belt, better than other belts. When you go to the Scout Shop, you just tell the clerk that your Scout is with McComb Pack 335 and she will get all the patches around and tell you where they need to go or give you the diagram of patch placement. The diagram is also in your scout book. Then for each continued year in scouts, you and your scout will not have to purchase the book, neckerchief and clasp as long as you sell popcorn, nor will you have to pay to re-register your scout. BUT if you don’t sell popcorn, you will have to buy these items at the scout shop for your child to continue in scouting. I will have some items on sale from the Scout Shop, if you can’t get to the Findlay during the day. The books will be needed by the end of this month so that you and your scout can work on the projects and so the Den Leaders can mark things off that have been completed at Den Meeting, Summer Camp, and at Home. Reminder: that if fees are not paid tonight, they are due no later than the September Pack Meeting. Some popcorn forms will be mailed out by district. Popcorn will be sold from Oct. 1st to Oct 27th with the turn in date as Oct 27th Pack Meeting. The next meeting I will distribute a list with all of the Den Leaders and their contact information. We are still adjusting leaders around and chair-people reference some of the committees. Anyone who would like to be on a committee, like camping events, Pinewood Derby, X-Mas party, Blue and Gold banquet, trash pick up, or parades/float, please contact me at one of the meetings or call me at 419-293-1018. Respectfully, Greg Smith Cub Master |

Scouting News We would like to thank all community members who helped support our popcorn sales for 2009. Our Pack sold over $11,000 in popcorn and this will assist in our camping trips and awards programs. Anyone who may have any old scout items, like shirts, pins, belt loops, neckerchiefs, clasps, etc., please contact me at 419-293-1018 so those items can be picked up and recycled in the pack. The Webelos in our pack are having a fund raiser to assist in their cross over to Boy Scouts. They are selling $10.00 cards to Stevie B's in which you can obtain free tokes and buffet meals. You can get an item each month. Please call me at 419-293-1018 inf you are willing to purchase the card to assist them in their advancement. |
