| • |
The Pack has only a few t-shirts
left, in limited sizes. |
| • |
Heidi will order more, including
a greater number of adult sizes. |
| • |
We will sell them for $10
each at Pack meetings and other Pack events. |
|
| • |
The Pack supplied “frustration-less”
kite kits for the boys to decorate. The boys made and
flew their kites at our event at Pine Point, with a
family picnic after. Some of the kites flew very high
indeed! |
|
| • |
Pack 47 offered four games
at a new location near the ball field. |
| • |
Ken Acker lent his helium
tank so we could give away BSA balloons. |
| • |
Families volunteered, with
boys running games and adults taking money for tickets
and doling out prizes. |
|
| • |
Pack 39 will join Pack 47
at Black Point Congregational Church on September 14,
from 6:00 - 8:00 PM. Parents and boys are encouraged
to be present to show what Scouting and Pack 47 are
all about! |
| • |
Dens should bring past projects
and crafts to exhibit. |
| • |
New scouts who join will
be invited to an ice cream social at Heidi’s home
(not to be confused with Heidi’s House!) on September
19 at 3:00 PM. They will bring their parents and learn
more about the Pack. |
| • |
A scout and adult from each
Den should plan to attend, especially if their Den has
new members. |
|
| • |
Takes place September 7,
Black Point Congregational Church. Award info should
already be to Jim
Hall |
|
| • |
We’ll pass around a
sheet at parent meetings for den leaders to jot down
great projects or activities their dens have done. "Go
See Its" will be helpful as well. |
| • |
Discussed ways (such as a
mentoring program) to initiate new leaders by having
seasoned leaders share information and experience. |
|
| • |
Takes place at Latter Day
Saints Church on River Road in Windham on October 16. |
|
| • |
Cathy Fitzgerald shared information
from Barbara Snowden, MMC Blood Donor Program (we assume).
|
| • |
Pack 47 would host the blood
drive, with the boys staffing the canteen. We would
need 800 square feet of space. |
| • |
We decided to invite a Blood
Center representative to present this opportunity at
the September parent meeting. |
| • |
Paula Atkinson
will check to see if we could use the space at Saint
Nicholas should we decide to pursue this community service
activity. |
| • |
If we participate, we may
hold the drive in January, when there is less going
on. |
| • |
We would like there to be
an opportunity for the boys to earn a badge or other
recognition by doing this service. |
|
| • |
Cathy Fitzgerald told us
about another service opportunity proposed by PTC. |
| • |
The scouts may be able to
earn an award by planting tree seedlings at a site in
Scarborough. |
| • |
More background information
is needed before a decision can be made about this. |
|
| • |
Heidi Leinonen
is waiting to hear from Ben Russell, our representative
from the Church, as to when the Pack might make its
planned donation. |
| • |
For next year, we’ll
consider making a donation in the Church’s name
to a local organization such as Project Grace. |
|
| • |
Kernel Don Littlefield is
ready to guide us in this fundraiser. |
| • |
We discussed the logistics
of selling by "Show & Deliver" instead
of "Show & Sell." The boys would go together
to knock on doors, take orders, then get the desired
product from a grown-up waiting in a car in front of
the house. The buyer would pay for their popcorn and
receive it at the same time. |
| • |
Boys would still be able
to sell using the order sheet in the traditional manner. |
| • |
They can earn $10 in Scout
Bucks to be used at the PTC store. There are lots of
great prizes this year! |
| • |
As soon as the boys receive
their sell sheet, they may begin selling popcorn! The
final details of the possible "Show & Deliver"
will be a topic at the September parent meeting. |
