Bear Meetings

Howdy Bears, Welcome to the start of the 2020-2021 Bear year. I am super excited about all the adventures we will be going on. This year does look a little different because of COVID-19. I need your response to this email. In order to keep social distancing dens are not all meeting on Monday nights at the church. I was reviewing our requirements and electives and was looking to meet twice a month at my house or a specified location. If your family is social distancing I will send you the requirements for you to do at home. We will still have pack meeting at the church once a month (see pack calendar) but will social distance. Please reply back: A: Yes Sunday  afternoons (3:00-5:00)…

Den Meetings

Arrow of Light family I hope everyone is having a great time back to school.  At this time I am looking at doing our den meetings on Saturday mornings 2 times a month for 2 hours this is to allow for spreading out and being out of the church.  We will be starting Saturday September 12th at 9:30 am. I will announce the location the week of.  If you have any questions or ideas please contact me 903-952-7234. Ryan Bockover

Labor Day Flag Delivery

Good afternoon Pack 359 Family! I hope we all had a fantastic first day of school! Whether your family is back to traditional school or remote learning, we wish you the best success this year. As I’m sure you can imagine, Scouting will look a bit differently this year. With this in mind, we’ve opted for a different approach to our Parent Meeting this year. Join us on Sunday, August 23rd (This Sunday) at 3 PM at Time Square Cinema. The movie event was such a hit this summer that we’re going to do it again! While we share all of the details for this year with the parents, the scouts will watch a movie (appropriate spacing will be observed)! We’ll discuss how dens will…
