Parent Meeting
Sunday, July 12
4PM to 7PM
1618 6th St (Block Residence)
This is your chance to socialize with other parents, get an update about what’s going on with the Pack, and help set the agenda for the upcoming year. We encourage everyone to attend. The get-together is for adults only and is informal, so no uniforms please. Food and drinks will be served. Feel free to BYOB and/or an appetizer.
Last year, many parents joined us for a few hours, had some fun and helped plan a great year. We look forward to an even bigger turnout this year and a great 2009-2010. We hope to see all of you there.
Please RSVP to Mark Block.
 Wilderness Park Overnighter
August 22, 2009
The Park is a great venue for inexperienced campers and especially those who think that camping isn’t their thing. There will be trees to climb, a turtle pond, critters to watch, short walks, even a nature center. The park is close to home which makes it easier to work the overnighter into a busy schedule. Here is a brochure
with directions, guidelines and other information.
Cost is $10 per person. Reservations are made on a first paid basis. If you are interested, please contact your den leader.
Friends of Scouting
Friends of Scouting is the Los Angeles Area Council's fundraiser. Friends of Scouting is a voluntary donation program in which your donations are used to help subsidize camperships and fund activities, including those that our Pack participates in such as the Cabrillo Day camp, Cub Scout resident camp and other District and Council events. The donations are also used to help maintain the camps that we and others attend such as Forest Lawn Scout Reservation, Cabrillo Beach Waterfront Center and Firestone Scout Reservation. It also helps less fortunate boys stay involved in Scouts.
If you are interested in making a donation, please submit the attached brochure along with a check payable to BSA to Susan Holton or Mario Di Sandro. The cost of funding a Scout for one year is $130, however, you may donate what ever you wish. Please have your donation to your den leader by June 14.
Cub Scouts are encouraged to donate as well using funds they earned by doing chores around the house or collecting change from items taken to the recycling center.
