Monday Night Den event: classic sports cars & ice cream

Hello Den 5! We will meet Monday night at 6 PM at 520 Sherry Lane in Tyler. This is the private residence of Billy Hibbs who has one of the largest private collections of classic sport and race cars in Texas. He has graciously invited us to tour his collection. Get ready to see some of the coolest cars around in one of the coolest garages you will ever see. In addition, Mr Hibbs has a real race car simulator that he will let the boys use (with supervision). Park in the motorcourt in front of the house. The garage door will be open so they can enter there. On the right as you face the house. We will break the boys into two groups….

Important Regarding Day Camp!

Hello, Pack 359 Family!! You will be receiving a flyer in the mail from the council office regarding Day Camp, June 18-22.  Please do NOT pay the council. If your Scout is going to attend Day Camp, we are going to send out a separate email with payment information.  The Pack is going to cover $25 of the $75 cost.  So, you will only have the $50 to cover.   So, please don't pay the council, or you won't get the discount. I will register the entire pack at one time through the council office. Please be on the lookout for the email regarding registering and paying online. Thanks. Yours in Scouting, D. Jason Phillips Cubmaster

Important Den Meeting, Monday, 5/7/18

Hello, Pack 359 Family!!! Monday, 5/7/18, we will ALL be meeting in the Fellowship Hall at 6:30 pm. From there, we will split off from the church to assigned neighborhoods to place door hangers. Door hangers, you ask??? Well, we are starting a new fundraising effort to supplement our Popcorn sales.  We are still going to sell Popcorn but are trying an alternate plan for revenue. We will be providing a flag service for the Whitehouse area.  We will initially install and then place flags for 7 patriotic holidays.  We are trying to get this project off the ground for Memorial Day. So, tomorrow is the 1st step in this new endeavor.  We need your help to place door hangers to advertise for our flag…
