Pack Meeting The pack meetings are intended for the entire family. The entire pack and their families get together to celebrate the scouts' accomplishments from the month and to have FUN together. The Pack meetings may include award ceremonies, den skits, guest speakers, activities, or special outings. Typically, we have a holiday program in December, a Pinewood Derby in January, a Raingutter Regatta in the spring, and a Blue & Gold Banquet in February that celebrates Boy Scouting's birthday and includes our advancement ceremonies.
Leaders' Meeting Held monthly on the second Tuesday of the month, at 7:00 p.m. at Crestview Presbyterian Church. All the den leaders and pack committee members should attend. Also, any parent is encouraged to attend as well to help us plan Pack meetings and activities, special events, and to discuss policies and issues regarding the pack.
Fundraising Every year in the Fall, Pack 939 participates in the popcorn sale. This is our single fundraiser, and it pays for the costs associated with the Pack's scouting activities throughout the year. All boys are encouraged to participate. If they (or the parents) do not like selling door to door, they have an opportunity to sign up for a 'Show and Sell' time where you can sit at a table outside a store and sell popcorn to the public.
Fees Registration for membership in Pack 939 is $45.00/year. This fee pays for registration with the Boy Scouts of America, unit insurance, awards, and supplies. A Boy Scouts of America registration form must be completed for each boy during their first year in the Pack.
Contact the Cubmaster or the Pack Committee Chairman at any time if any of the costs associated with your son becoming a scout are a problem. These costs can be covered by the pack if needed and all requests will remain confidential.
Uniforms Pack 939 requires a full uniform for all Cub Scouts. Tigers, Wolfs, Bears, and first-year Webelos wear a uniform that consists of an official blue uniform shirt, cap (optional), belt, neckerchief with slide, and all required patches. Webelos 2 can move to the tan boy scout shirt and belt. All Cub Scouts are required to wear navy blue pants or jeans.
Volunteers Parent volunteers are always needed. Registration and training are provided by the Pack for those who are interested in helping. If you'd like to help in any capacity, please contact the Pack Committee Chairman, Cubmaster, or your son's Den Leader. All types of help are needed--driving for trips, assisting in Den Leader absence, etc. Remember that Cub Scout Packs don't exist without volunteer leadership. |
