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.

We will be providing a flag service for the Whitehouse area.  We will initially install and then place flags for 7 patriotic holidays.  We are trying to get this project off the ground for Memorial Day. So, tomorrow is the 1st step in this new endeavor.  We need your help to place door hangers to advertise for our flag…
