Hello Arrow of Lights, I hope everyone had a good start to their week today. Just letting you know that this Saturday September 26, at our den meeting we will be collecting canned foods for the Whitehouse food pantry. They helped so many families out this year, we just want to give a little something back as a way to say thanks. After all a Scout is helpful. Have a great week & stay dry. Amanda

Tuesday’s Meeting – 6:30 at WUMC – We are working on Call of the Wild and Paws on the Path

Hey Wild and Wooly Wolves!! Parents – be sure you have registered and filled out your Health forms and Youth Protection Training. We will need all that finished very soon. If you were with us last year as Tigers, see if you can locate your Scout’s first aid kit, whistle, and flash light – “6 Essentials” for Cub Scouts outdoors. For our new scouts, I have “6 Essentials” kits for you. SCOUTS – I handed out “Outdoor Code” sheets – we will be practicing our Outdoor Code principles and knot tying as we prepare for a one-mile hike and our fall family camp out. Wear tennis shoes, not flip-flops or sandals, to our meeting Tuesday evening! Be thinking about some chores you can do around…
