We hope everyone who was able to make the Scout picnic in August enjoyed themselves!  It was wonderful to see so many Scouts and family members having fun and catching up after the summer break.  

For those parents new to Cub Scout Pack 375, we do our best to send out a monthly newsletter highlighting all the upcoming events and recaping/updating everyone on any previous events.  These newsletters can be found on the Pack website's blog as well.  As always, if you ever have any questions regarding information you are receiving (or not receiving), please feel free to reach out to your Den Leader and/or the Cubmaster at cubscouts375@gmail.com. 

Please see below for information pertaining to Pack 375's first Pack meeting, fall hike, fall fundraisers, and the ever fun fall camping!

September 2017 Pack Meeting

Thursday, September 21st @ 7pm

Good Shepherd Catholic Church

Our September monthly Pack meeting will be held at Good Shepherd Catholic Church beginning at 7 p.m. and ending around 8 p.m.  Please be aware that we do our best to keep these meetings to an hour in length, but some meetings may last longer depending on the time of year and the amount of new information we need to share with the Scouts.  Pack meetings are where we share what each Den has been working on throughout the month, and announce awards and accomplishments our Scouts have earned.

Please note, fhat for the next couple of months, there will be a Zumba class in the main Parrish Hall just prior to our Pack meeting.  Please be sure to keep your Scouts outside the hall until the class is done, and ensure that they remain respectful of the church's property and others using the facility.  

Siblings are always welcome to attend Pack meetings.  Similar to last year, we will plan to have quiet activities in the back of the room for siblings.

Annual Dues and Applications

For the 2017-2018 school year, Pack 375's dues will be $50 per Scout.  Dues cover the entire Scout year and fund various events and awards throughout the year.

Only NEW Scouts or Scouts transferring from a different Pack will need to fill out a new application.  Anybody who has previously completed an application for Pack 375 does not need to submit a new one.  Parents can access the applicaiton online at the Pack website:

www.cubscouts375.com

In additon, we will have blank copies on hand at the September Pack meeting.  If you do print off and pre-fill the application, feel free to leave the top section (or anything you are uncertain of) blank.  Pack Leadership can help complete these sections.

Fall Fundraising!

Cub Scout Pack 375 will be participating in two fundraising programs this year.  Proceeds from these two sales go toward offsetting the costs for Pack activities and Scout awards throughout the year.  Both popcorn and First Aid Kits make excellent gifts for family members and teachers.  Items will arrive in time for the holidays.
