Howdy Pack 359, I hope this finds you all happy and healthy.  Sunday is Flag Day and our Pack has been asked to perform a flag retirement ceremony at the VFW post on Rhones Quarter at 11:30 AM.  Please attend and help us retire our Country’s colors with honor.  Please wear class A uniform and bring water. On another note, we have a HUGE surprise coming your way…be at home if possible during scout time on Monday.  We hope to see you all then! Yours in Scouting, Somer Bockover

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

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

Howdy Pack 359, Due to the recent events and outbreak of COVID-19 the East Texas Area Council has decided to suspend all district and council events for the next 2 weeks.  This impacts district Pinewood Derby originally set to take place March 21st.  The hope is that these events will be rescheduled for a later date but that yet to be determined. In an abundance of caution and to protect our scouts and families Pack 359 will be cancelling all meetings for the next 2 weeks.  Please work on any needed advancements at home and communicate with your den leader.  We will be in contact with any further information. Yours in Scouting, Somer Bockover Cubmaster
