Hello, Pack 359 Family, I just wanted to take time to address last week’s decision by the BSA to allow girls into the program.  This would take effect Fall 2018 for Cub Scouts. Here is how it would work for our Pack (an already established Pack): 1.  As a Pack, we can choose to recruit girls or stay an all-boy Pack. 2.  This decision has to be made in agreement with our charter organization, the Whitehouse United Methodist Men. 3.  If the decision is made to recruit girls, the dens would be single-gender. I know a lot of people are upset by the BSA’s decision, but I do NOT see it affecting our program in Pack 359. If you have any questions or concerns, please…
