Cub Scout Day Camp

June is fast approaching and in these parts of the wild, June is Day Camp month. This years theme is Safari Funfest! This years camp will take place on the tundra of Camp Kavanaugh, in beautiful Crestwood, KY. The dates for the funfest are the week of June 18-22. The corrdinators are planning exciting adventures for the week. Archery, BB Shooting, Swimming, Crafts, Nature and more. Mike Tanner (228-1704) is the corrdinator for Pack 154. Early bird deadline is March 31. Campers who sign early get a special patch. Volunteers are still very much needed. Please contact Mike if you can help.

SCOUT - A - RAMA

You thought Churchill Downs was just for horses, the infield will be converted into the biggest scout party of the year. March 31 will be the annual Lincoln Heritage Council Scout-A-Rama. Scouts from all over the council join together to share ideas and display scout challenges for all to enjoy. And yes there will be food also. Pack 154 will not be selling door-to-door tickets this year, but they are available from Mike Tanner (228-1704). Hope to see you there!

Family Camp Out

The Pack 154 Annual Family Camp Out is planned for the weekend of April 27-29. Take the weekend off from the rat race and let Bonnie Maggard (228-4823) and the folks of Den 8 entertain you. Family time is valuable. Take advantage of this great weekend.

Spaghetti Dinner

All Scouts LOVE spaghetti. Plans for this years annual Pack Spaghetti Dinner are in the final stages. Participating in this event not only feeds the family at a reasonable price, but also helps support the pack’s many hidden expenses. Please mark your calendars for May 19 and join in the fun.

ADVANCEMENTS

Advancements are due to Debbie Schuette by April 19, at the den leaders meeting.

If you are and organized, energetic person who can live with 100 smiles a months, please step forward and volunteer your time for a worthwhile cause. Contact Chris States at 228-7576 for details.
