Pack Meeting September 27

MAX Martial Arts (http://maxfit.us/) will have a program on respect - how to have respect for yourself and show respect for others. Since this will be an active program returning scouts should wear their pack t-shirts instead of uniforms. New scouts will get a t-shirt at the meeting. It will be a fun night!

Our community service project for this Pack Meeting is to support local Ronald McDonald houses. They are requesting childrens books in foreign languages. If you have any that you are no longer reading, please bring to the meeting.

Returning scouts who have not yet paid the registration fee can bring it on Friday (see attached form).

We'll have a uniform swap table - please bring anything you no longer need and check the table for what you do need before going to the scout store.

Our popcorn kick-off stats soon so we'll have information for you on Friday. The pack sells popcorn in the fall and chocolate bars in February to help offset the cost of programs and advancements. We ask that all scouts participate in at least one of these fundraisers.
