Hello, Pack 359 Family!!   Spring Family Camp is upon us!!!   LET YOUR DEN LEADER KNOW HOW MANY OF YOUR FAMILY PLANS TO ATTEND! * Campout date is Friday, May 18th through Sunday, May 20th at Pirkey Environmental Park near Hallsville, TX (directions attached). If you can't make it Friday, come Saturday!!!  If you can't camp at all, come out Saturday for the day and campfire.  * The Pack will provide meals for Saturday morning and evening.  Parents/Dens will be responsible for Friday night, Saturday lunch, and Sunday breakfast. For Friday, most families will stop and eat on the way to camp. For Saturday lunch and Sunday breakfast, it can be as simple as a sandwich or a meal prepared and shared with your Den (please check with your Den Leader).  Most Dens plan to eat breakfast and lunch as a den.        …

Important Regarding Day Camp!

Hello, Pack 359 Family!! You will be receiving a flyer in the mail from the council office regarding Day Camp, June 18-22.  Please do NOT pay the council. If your Scout is going to attend Day Camp, we are going to send out a separate email with payment information.  The Pack is going to cover $25 of the $75 cost.  So, you will only have the $50 to cover.   So, please don't pay the council, or you won't get the discount. I will register the entire pack at one time through the council office. Please be on the lookout for the email regarding registering and paying online. Thanks. Yours in Scouting, D. Jason Phillips Cubmaster
