Belt Loop Forms

In the left column of this site are all the forms for the Sport & Academic Belt Loop Program.  As I explained at the parent meeting, this is the first year for this program in our pack.  The links on the left will take you to the appropriate form for each subject.  The first three items on each form are the requirements for the belt loop, you can disregard the rest.  Once the items are completed, parents should initial the form and take it to your den leader for proper credit.  The pack will pay for the first five belt loops anything over and above will be the responsibility of the parent.  We will be happy to pick them up for you when we order our awards for pack meetings.

Scouting for Food

What a great turnout today!!  Our Cub Scouts along with our Boy Scouts collected 1,780 items weighing 1,565.5 pounds for the local food pantry at Zions Church.  Great job everyone!  All of this will be a big help to families in need this winter. 

Scouting for Food - 2011

Saturday, November 5th we will be gathering to place the paper bags on porches around our community to be filled with donations for our local food pantry.  Scouts along with the help of the leaders and parents will distribute the bags.  Our goal this year is to reach even more homes on more streets.

Plan to join us for an hour or two to help distribute.  The meeting place and time will be announced at a later date.

Fall Camporee

Just a quick reminder.  I need your RSVP for the fall camporee by tomorrow!!  There was a very large group planning to attend before it was rescheduled and now we have less than 12 confirmed.  I still don't know the exact cost, but it will be $5 or less per person.  The pack will still cover the scouts to attend, only the parent(s) going will have to pay the registration fee.  If you were registered to attend the earlier one, you still have to let me know if you are coming on the 29th.

Here is a copy of the schedule and planned events -
