PACK 601: Fall Campout, Meet at SUMC Friday, September 29th @ 6:00 PM

Parents,

For those going camping, below is the basic packing list for what you will need.  Currently it is predicted to be 48 degrees on Friday night.  So warm clothes would be a good choice.  60s during the day.  Also there is showers predicted on Friday and Sunday so make sure you also have rain gear.

The pack will meet up at Salem United Methodist Church at 6:00.  Please be there promptly.  I will be coming up later because of a commitment down state, but you will be in good hands with Jon Howell.

This promisses to be a great campout.  We have 37 people attending!  I look forward to seeing you all up there Friday night.

Yours in Scouting,

Boyd

Pack 601: Fall Camping Trip

Parents,

If you are going to join us on our first campout of the new Scouting year (the Fall campout) starting Friday, September 29th, please turn in the attached permission form and money by Monday, September 25th if your den meets on Monday or Tuesday, September 26th if your den meets on Tuesday. We cannot accept any forms after that. This will be a great campout. Jon Howell has been working out all the details with Camp Alpine and it promises to be lots of fun.

I will be at the church on Monday to collect forms and money. Cost is $20 per person which includes the camping fees and food. If you can email me back to let me know you are planning to come, that would be very helpful.

We will be meeting at the church at 6:00PM on Friday the 29th and returning about 2:00PM Sunday the 1st. The drive is about 2.5 hours to Camp Alpine.

Below is a suggested packing list. Please remember it will be very cool at night and you should bring plenty of warm clothes. For those of you who have not been camping before and have questions about camping, I will be glad to answer them on Monday.

Plus, please mark Monday October 2nd on your calendar. We will hold a meeting at the church building for all parents of new scouts. It will last about 40 minutes. I ask that you make every effort to be there. We will talk about how the Pack runs and what you can expect fromt your son's scouting experience.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday,

Yours in Scouting,

Boyd

Re: PACK 601: Pack-o-ree, September 16th, 2:00-8:30 @ SUMC

Parents,

With rain scheduled for most of the morning and afternoon tomorrow.  We are going to move things inside if it is raining tomorrow.  We have can still do most of our activities inside although it we won't be able to do them all.

This is our main recruiting activity for the year, so if it is raining, please dress your boys in their scout uniform with their class B underneath.  That way if the rain breaks, we get have them take their uniforms off and we will go outside.  If not, we look good for our visitors.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.  Rain or Shine, we will have fun and the boys will learn some things.

Yours in Scouting,

Boyd

Parents,

It is time for our annual Pack-o-ree.  This is the start of our school year Cub Scout Program.  As usual it will be at Salem United Methodist Church.  Below I have attached a tentative schedule of events.  The Pack Committee is still working out the details, but I wanted to give you and your boys a taste of what is to come!  We are doing something special this year.  As part of our evening camp fire we are going to have a flag retirement ceremony.  If you have never seen an American Flag properly retired, it is a very touching event.  This year we are not camping over night at the church like we have in years past.

Please have your boys come in their Class B uniforms for the days activities (scouting t-shirt) but bring their Class A (blue) uniforms for the evening ceremonies.  We will be giving any awards that were earned during the summer and recognizing those that went to summer camp.

Please have your boys invite any of their friends that are interested in Cub Scouting.  This will be a good time for them to check out what Scouting is all about.

Another date to keep in mind is the weekend of September 29th.  This will be our first campout of the year.  We will be going to Alpine Scout Reservation in Alpine, NJ and Jon Howell has been working on an excellent camping experience.  We will be in tents and be staying two nights.  The campout is open to the whole family moms, dads, brothers and sisters although some activies will be limited by age.  The cost is $20 per person.  More information will be provided soon.

I look forward to seeing you on the 16th for the start of another exciting Scouting Year!

Yours in Scouting,

Boyd

Re: PACK 601: Pack-o-ree, September 16th, 2:00-8:30 @ SUMC

Parents,

Just a reminder that our Pack-o-ree is this Saturday from 2:00-8:30 at Salem United Methodist Church.  Please re-read the note below to remind yourself of the details.

Because of some travel, we could really use your help to set up.  The leaders are going to arrive between 12:00 and 12:30 to start to set up.  If you can come and help, it would be much appreciated.

I look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Yours in Scouting,

Boyd
