A reminder that Scouting for Food is tomorrow morning!

Meet at GBE at 8:45 a.m.

Please have your Cub Scouts sign in with the Cubmaster when they arrive and then join their dens. Be aware, there will be an Eagle Scout project work zone around the flagpole. Please help keep our Cub Scouts away from that area in the morning.

See you all there!

Car Cutting Clinic note:

My address for the clinics is on the online Clinic Sign Up sheet. Please visit our Pack website and open the link from the Clinic post this week to sign up ASAP!

Thanks

Scouting for Food 2015: Saturday, November 7 GBE 9:00 a.m. and Saturday, November 14 GBE 9:00 a.m.  

Every Year Pack 1863 is a proud supporter of Scouting for Food.  This event happens the first two Saturdays in November.  We join other local Packs, Girl Scout Troops and Boy Scout Troops to collect donated food and necessities from our Greenbriar neighbors to help our community.   We meet at GBE at 9:00 a.m. sharp!   Please sign in when you arrive and join your Den. The first Saturday we will be distributing the flyers and plastic bags, returning to collect donations on the following Saturday.  This is a great opportunity for the boys to give back to their larger community and help our neighbors. Pack 1863 Cub Scouts will earn a Community Service Patch for this event.

This Saturday we will have our collection day for Scouting for Food.  We will meet again at GBE at 9 a.m.  After collection, we will sort the food at GBE before handing it over to the Boy Scouts for transport to the food bank.  We need boxes.  Please bring any boxes that are about the size of a standard paper ream box.  A great turn out Saturday morning will go a long way in making this process go quickly and smoothly.  Remember, the kids get a service project patch for Scouting for Food!
