Pack Communication

Howdy Scouting Family, Please take the next two week to enjoy your friends and family. We will not be meeting as dens or pack. Now is a great time to work on your Duty to God. Our pinewood derby build day is fast approaching. It is Saturday, January 9 at the church. This year we are doing it a bit differently. In order to social distance we are asking each family to register for a time to attend build day. We ask for only the scout and parent who will assist in building to attend. REGISTER for a spot at build day! Merry Christmas.  

Howdy Scouts, Who’s counting down to Christmas break?! This week is an exciting scouting week. Dens are meeting to close out 2020. This Monday you can come up to the church at 6:30 to pick-up your pinewood derby car or purchase extras for $4. Also, if you purchased pack t-shirts we have them ready for pick-up.

Howdy Pack 359! Tomorrow Night will be our final Pack Meeting in the year 2020! We will be seating as families again, just like the last Pack Meeting. Scouts will receive their Pinewood Derby Cars, so everyone has plenty of time before Race Day on February 13th.

Please dress appropriately 🙂 Upcoming Events: January 9th – Pinewood Derby Build Day January 30th – Flag Party February 13th – Pack Pinewood Derby February 27th – District Pinewood Derby See you all tomorrow!
