Raingutter Regatta
Coming Saturday June 13th, the Raingutter Regatta. This is a fun day in the sun with boys, little boats and a raingutter. The boys blow on the little boats to make them go. The cost is $5 for the boat kit and patch. The pack will provide popcicles and water.
Adult Leader Recruiting
Our pack is as only as great as the kids and adult leaders who make it go. Next year we have some leadership openings to be filled. The more positions we can fill this Spring the better prepared our Pack will be in the fall. Please read the list below and contact Bill, Ed or myself if you have any questions.
1. Pack Treasurer - Ed Showalter who has been our treasurer for the last two years needs to step down this summer. Treasurer duties include budget drafting, Pack account reconciliation.
2. Bear Den Leader (3rd Grade Boys) - Planning and running Bear Den meetings and activities. We have plenty of resources available to make this as easy as possible.
3. Popcorn Kernel - aka Fundraising Chair - Filled thank you Julie
4. Recruiting Chair - Filled thank you Deanna
I do believe next year will be even better and with your help it can.
