Fundraiser Committee?

The Pack/Troop Committee would like to come up with different ideas for our fundraisers. If you have any ideas or can help on a fundraising committee, please contact the Scoutmaster (Rick), Cubmaster (John W.), Committee Chair (John G.) or send an e-mail to us at info@cubs167.org.

We need to come up with some good ideas that will bring money directly into our Troop and Pack. The Troop and Pack use this money to pay for various awards, supplies and special events.

Please consider how you can help.

CRAZY FROG - POPCORN

American Legion Service Project - Pictures

Here's a few pictures of a few of our boys and parents from the Troop and Pack helping to paint the guardrails and a little clean-up work at the Stuart Rec Center/American Legion Hall.

Good Job!

American Legion Service Project

At our last committee meeting we talked about painting the parking poles that are at the Stuart Rec Center. Pat Doud, contacted John Gulbranson and told him they had gotten the poles fixed and back in place and they are now ready to be painted.

They will provide the paint and equipment to paint them if we could provide some Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts to do the painting.

The American Legion Post provides the Rec Center as a meeting place for scouts at no charge. It would be great if we could see as many of our scouting families as possible come out to help with this project. If we get enough scouts there, this project should not take very long and it will be a big benefit to the Legion.

Let's meet at 9:00 AM on Saturday, November 1st at the Rec Center. This weekend will probably be the last chance we have to get this done. It will soon be too cold to paint anything outdoors and the weather forecast looks good for Saturday. Be sure to wear clothes that won't matter if you get paint on them.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.
