Flag Service

Howdy Wonderful Wolves (soon bears), I miss seeing each of you. I hope during this time you have been able to enjoy a bit more down time with your family. As we move into summer our pack is looking at activities that we might can do, but first keeping the cubs safety in mind. Stay tune for end of year parade from leaders and hopefully a July event. Right now our pack needs our help with flags! This Wednesday we will be placing flags social distancing style and need families to sign up. You will get assigned a location. https://etacpack359.org/flagsignup/ Yours in Scouting, Kathy

Flag placement

Howdy Pack 359, I hope everyone is healthy and safe.  This Wednesday at 5:30 we need to put flags out for Memorial Day.  Wow, that came fast without school to help keep track of days! Social distancing practices need to be observed so we are changing things up a bit. Routes need to be solo scouts/families if at all possible so we need lots of people helping out. Click the link below to sign up. https://etacpack359.org/flagdelivery We’ll set up on the East side of the church (the side nobody parks on). Flags will be bundled for each route. We’ll use the parking spots as spacers and leave a parking space blank between each bundle. Yours in Scouting, Somer Bockover

Greetings

Howdy Pack 359, I hope this email finds you well and healthy.  By now I’m sure you know that events for the foreseeable future have been put on hold, this means Blue and Gold as well as AOL Crossover, camping, and all other events we had planned.  We will resume regular scouting activities when it is safe for all families involved but for now just focus on staying healthy.  If your scout wishes to work on electives or advancements please continue but do not feel obligated to.   We are working on a special project so please keep an eye out on the website and Facebook page.  If you need anything please do not hesitate to let us know. Yours in Scouting, Somer Bockover, Cubmaster

Pack on hold for 2 weeks

Howdy Wolves, Our pack and district have put all activities on hold for the next two weeks. This means district pinewood derby isn’t happening March 21. If a new date is set I will let you know. Look at the electives in the back of your books and have fun making paper airplanes or building boats! Stay active but follow the scout law and be clean. Wash you hands. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. Yours in Scouting, Kathy

Meeting update and District Pinewood Derby has been Postponed….

Hi Tiger Team!!  We had a great time at Arkansas Bend, and I saw a lot of fun goings-on with you guys and your families over spring break as well! With all the craziness over the COVID-19 flu virus and because we are coming off a camping weekend, we will NOT meet this coming Monday, March 16th.  The Pack is going to send out more information shortly – I know TJC and UT Tyler cancelled classes for the next week and are going online for at least a week after that just to be on the safe side… We hope this all “blows over” quickly!! Stay healthy and wash you hands!!! Other Updates – District Pinewood Derby has been postponed – they hope to hold…
