Spaghetti Dinner

All Scouts LOVE spaghetti. Plans for this years annual Pack Spaghetti Dinner are set. This is a very important funraiser for the Pack. Please mark your calendars for May 12, 5-8:00pm at St John United Methodist Church. The cost is $4.00 per person, children under 2 eat free. Tickets will be distributed to each den by the April Pack Meeting. In order to reach our goal, we need each cub scout to sell 5 tickets. We are asking the Den leaders to coordinate distribution of tickets and collection of money within their dens. Money and unsold tickets must be submitted by May 10th.

We are asking for each Den to contribute at least one 9x13 sheet cake for desert. We would like to have a silent auction. If you have a product or service you would wish to donate, please call Julie Patterson at 292-2183. If you are willing to volunteer for this event please call Julie.

The Cub Scout Uniform

by Dominic Maritt

Do you wish you had more things to put on your uniform? You only have to do ten electives to get an arrow point. On the Wolf Trail, there are a lot of fun electives. One of my favorites was fishing. Our whole den took a trip to the Salato Wildlife Refuge. It was an awesome day. One of my other favorites was making a paper bag puppet. I hope you have lots of fun earning your arrow points!
