It has been another busy month for Pack 375!  We had an unforgettable time camping at Seven Mountains Scout Camp during Winter Storm Harper, a week later we had 3 Webelos patrols participate in the 48th Annual Klondike Derby and this past weekend we had the opportunity to participate in Scout Sunday.  

This next month is going to be another fun filled one!  The highlight of the month will be our Pinewood Derby race this Saturday followed by a Pack Meeting at the end of the month.

In what section of the library are books about pinewood derby?

Help for a Fellow Scouter

Last Monday, Amanda was diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia and she was airlifted to Danville with the hopes of stabilizing enough to continue her pregnancy. On Wednesday, the docs needed to do an emergency C-section and baby Jameson was born at 28 weeks. He's a tiny little Cub weighing just over 2 pounds and 14.25" long and has been in the Danville NICU since birth.

Amanda is the Marching Band Director at the Philipsburg-Oseceola School District and her colleagues have created this GoFundMe account to help Josh and Amanda with expenses as they begin their journey with Jameson.

New Fundraising Policy

Effective immediately, the Pack will split fundraising profits with Scouts and will place the Scout's portion in a "Family Account."  Money in the Family Accounts must be used for things that benefit the entire pack such as: paying dues, buying uniforms, paying for trips & summer camp and other items as approved by Pack Committee.  Dues do not have to be paid from the Family Account, however dues must be paid in full before the Family Account can be used for any other purpose.  Leftover money in the Family Account will be absorbed into the Pack account after a family leaves Pack.

We will be having a Marianna's Fundraiser in April to get a jump start on fundraising for next year.  Please watch for details to be announced.
