May Pack Meeting – Picnic in the Park

This Sunday, May 19th, is our Spring Picnic – May Pack Meeting. All scouts and family members are invited to attend. The picnic will be from 3:00pm – 6:00pm at Fairview Park. We will be using the first pavilion on the left when you drive into the park. We will start with the opening ceremony, followed by advancements, food and games.

We will be having Pizza, Salad, Water, and Ice Cream Sandwiches. No need to bring food unless you have special dietary needs.

Seating is limited, please bring lawn chairs.

At this point, all scouts should have completed their requirements for their rank. If they completed requirements and have not yet received their rank patch, they will get that patch as well as other belt loops or pins they have earned. Scouts will also receive their new scout book (except for Webelos) at the picnic. If you scout has not completed the requirement, you still have a little more time. Please contact your Den leader if you need assistance.

COME TO HEAR ALL ABOUT THE EVENTS WE HAVE PLANNED FOR THIS SUMMER!

WE WILL SEE YOU ON SUNDAY!!!

Spaghetti Dinner Volunteers needed

Once again our Charter Organization, Resurrection Church in Oakdale, is asking for our Cub Scouts to help with their election day Spaghetti Dinner. The Spaghetti dinner is on Tuesday, May 21st from 4 – 7pm. Scouts will help serve salads, fill bread baskets and help with cleaning up paper plates and bowls. Here is a signup sheet. We are asking for 2 – 3 scouts for each hour. In the past, the scouts that volunteered had fun. This also counts for service hours. The address for Resurrection Lutheran Church is 7600 Steubenville Pike, Oakdale.
