There are only a few popcorn shifts left!

Howdy Pack! We only have a couple of slots left for this weekend. Sign up before they are filled! New Parents! We would love to help set up you guys for a successful Popcorn Season. If the app is giving you fits (technology right?) you can also register your scout online at trails-end.com/registration. Here’s the Unit Information you will need: Council – East Texas Area Council District – Wo Ha Li Unit – Pack 359 We want to pair you (and your scout) up with a returning scout to help show you the ropes. We have Popcorn shifts every hour from 9-5 on Saturday and Sunday each weekend. Please reply to this email with a time you are willing to sell and we’ll get you…

Monday Meeting

Howdy wonderful den. Tonight we will be reviewing bobcat, starting our first requirement belt loop and making our den flag!! Woohoo. I am traveling today but wonderful Steve Swindell (Eagle scout and Mark’s dad) will be leading the charge. Yours In Scouting, Kathy

TIGERS will be creating their DEN FLAG tonight – prepare for painting!

Hello to all the Terrific Tigers for Den 4!!! Tonight we will be creating our Den 4 flag that will mark our place at Pack Meetings, campouts, and all Pack activities. The scouts will be putting their handprints on our flag – and hopefully NOT on themselves or others. Since we are working with paint, scouts do NOT need to wear their Class A Uniforms – if they really want to come “dressed up” then maybe have a T-shirt on underneath so we can make sure NOT to mess up the blue scout shirts!! Not all Scouts may be on this message stream – if you get this, and have a couple of extra T-shirts laying around, you might bring them to help out those…
