Thank you to everyone who came out to our Pack 375 Fall Hike to Shingletown Gap!  It was a great opportunity to chalange our hiking skills and stamana while enjoying some of Pennsylvania's beautiful autumn views.

Why does Cinderella never win at sports?

October Pack Meeting this Thursday

$4 Walking Taco Meal Deal prior to the Oct. 25 Pack Meeting

Let the Webolos I Den handle dinner for you and your family on a busy night!

These scouts have planned a balanced menu and learned about budgeting. Soon, they will shop for the ingredients and prepare the food (with help from adults). Lastly, they’re hoping to make some sales before families attend the Pack Meeting on Oct. 25. Their stand will be conveniently located at Good Shepherd.

The $4 meal deal includes a Walking Taco (Fritos, taco meat) and toppings, a small water, and dessert / Available between 6:00 and 6:20 / Cash or Check accepted. 

Popcorn and Prize Orders

Popcorn orders and prize orders are due this Thursday, October 25th!

I  must submit the Pack's order first thing Friday morning, so there can be absolutely no extensions or late orders accepted. 

You do not need to wait until Thursday to submit your oder. If it is ready sooner, please send it as soon as possible.

One final question that has come up that relates to prizes and siblings.  Siblings may combine their popcorn orders, show & sell credits and on-line sales to request a prize (or prizes) that will be shared between them. 

Please see our 2018 Opening Newsletter and September 2018 Newsletter for additional information regarding our Trail's End Popcorn Sale and our ongoing First Aid Kit sale.

Safety Orange Class B Shirts

Our first set of new Class B t-shirts is in, and they look great!  There was no mistaking our Scouts wearing these shirts on the trail on Saturday (see all of the orange in the pictures shared on our Facebook page).

If you have not ordered yet, it's not too late!  See the next section for information about placing orders.

Lost & Found

The items below are currently in the Pack's Lost & Found collection. If they are yours, please claim them at the Pack Meeting or e-mail cubscouts375@gmail.com.  Items not claimed will be donated to charity. 

Liquidation Sale

The following items are being offered at a reduced price to reduce our outdated inventory. Keep in mind that any Class B Shirt can still be worn whenever a Class B Shirt is required, regardless of age or design.

All items will be available at the Pack Meeting on a first-come, first-served basis.  No holdsies! 

Scoutbook.com

I just did a spot check and discovered that very few parents have updated their contact information in Scoutbook.  This is bad people!  We (the leaders) need that information for all Scouts and parents at our finger tips quickly, in one location in the event of an emergency.  This is one of the huge advantages of Scoutbook!

Please!  This will take you less than 5 minutes:

Bonus Points

Please consider uploading a picture of your Scout to their Scoutbook.com profile, and a picture of you to your profile.  This will help new leaders learn everyone's name and face.  The pictures will only be visible to leaders, so hopefully that will alleviate any privacy concerns. 

Volunteers STILL Needed

Pinewood Derby Pitt Crew and Pitt Crew Leader

We are looking for some parents to help prepare for our Pinewood Derby competition in February. Parents who have helped with this in the past, but who's Scouts are no longer in the Pack have volunteered to help us set up this year, but we will need some new parents to learn how everything works and how to run the race for upcoming years. 

Blue & Gold Committee

We are looking for a group of parents to organize our annual Blue & Gold Banquet in March.  We have had one parent volunteer to help, but we need more people to help. 

If you are interested in any of these positions, or have any questions about them, please see Joe Zanghi.

Calendar

Here is an updated list of Pack 375 meetings and events for the coming year. Information for Den meetings and events will be coming from your Den Leaders.
