Pack Communication

Hello, Pack 359 Family! Fall Family Camp is tomorrow.  Please see previous email regarding directions, itinerary, health forms and consent forms.   Please watch the weather.  It's supposed to be cooler this weekend.  Blankets would probably not be a bad idea.  All vehicles to be moved to the parking lot after unloading. Remember, if you must smoke, you will need to go to the parking lot. Please keep an eye on your Scouts/kids this weekend.  We are expecting a good turnout.   Also, a Cub Scout Pack from Hallsville will be there Saturday to Sunday.  We will need to make room for them and be on our best Scouting behavior. Please travel safely. Yours in Scouting,  D. Jason Phillips Cubmaster

Good morning, Pack 359 Family, Cain, Higgins, and Brown Elementaries will be performing Veterans' Day Programs this week.  We have been asked to lead the flag ceremonies for the programs.  If your Scout wants to participate, have him wear his Field (Class A) uniform to the school on the appropriate day.  I don't recommend wearing the slide and neckerchief all day as it will be lost.  You can put it in a ziploc baggie in your Scout's backpack.   Program Dates/Times: Cain – Wednesday, November 8 at 8:30 am Higgins – Thursday, November 9 at 1:30 pm Brown – Friday, November 10 at 8:30 am Sorry, Stanton-Smith.  Your Scout must wear his Uniform to participate at the program. Have a fantastic day! Yours in Scouting,  D. Jason Phillips Cubmaster
