Pack 163 Communicator

Volume 3, Number 2, October, 2006

We hope you enjoyed tonight’s pack meeting and a big thanks to Michelle’s Menagerie for the wonderful Rainforest Animal Show.  This show is a direct result of the boys’ hard work selling popcorn to raise money for the pack to do fun programs.  Don’t forget to plan for next month’s cake decorating contest.

 

PACK FUNDRAISER

This year, Pack 163 sold Trails End Popcorn.  A big thanks to our Popcorn Kernels (Mary Young and Melissa Stinson) and to all of you who sold popcorn at any of the 6 Show’N’Sell’s and/or on your popcorn forms.  You should have turned in your order forms and money tonight.  Our Show’N’Sell’s were a big success selling over $1,700 worth of Popcorn and almost $200 in donations.  Great work.  Every boy who participated in 4 hours of Show’N’Sell will receive a prize.

 

The popcorn for the orders will be available next month.  They will be distributed to you by your den leader on Thanksgiving week, before Thanksgiving.

 

UPCOMING PACK MEETINGS

November 17th, 7:00PM

Chester Academy Cafeteria

Parent/Son Cake Decorating Contest

Each cub scout should bring an undecorated cake with all the fixings to decorate it at the meeting.  Cakes will be judged for many different awards and will be kept by the scout at the end of the night.  The theme is Cub Scouting which could be a cake that looks like something in Cub Scouting or a Cub Scouting activity such as hiking, swimming, etc. The more creative you get the more fun it will be. 

Rules:

1. No nuts or nut extracts

2. There will be 30 minutes to decorate the cakes

3. All parts of the cake must be edible, including decorations
