Just because school is out doesn’t mean the Cub Scout program comes to an end!  We have programs for Scouts and families that run all summer long.

Feel free to come to all of the Summertime Pack Activities, some of them, or none of them.  The choice is yours.  You can be as active – or inactive – as you would like during the summer, but summer is an excellent time to relax with the members of your Den and to invite your friends to join Cub Scouts!

Boys who complete three (3) Summertime Pack Activities (including Cub Scout Day Camp and Camp Oest as options) earn the Summertime Pack Award pin at the September Pack Meeting.

As an added incentive, boys who complete six (6) Summertime Pack Activities this summer will earn a special patch, a McDonald’s gift certificate, and special recognition at the September Pack Meeting.

Just have the leader of each Summertime Pack Activity sign and date one space on your Summer Fun Coupon, and turn your completed coupon in to Marc Fischer (6460 Tydings Road, Eldersburg, Maryland 21784 or via email at marc.fischer@transwestern.net) no later than September 5, 2011.

Summer Fun Coupons will be handed out at the June Pack Meeting, but you can always print one:  Summer Fun Coupon – 05162011 

Have a great summer!

Do You Know a Future Cub Scout? 

Here’s your chance to invite your friends and neighbors to join our Pack! 

Here’s How It Works

During the recruiting period (from June through December), have your son invite his friends (brothers count too!) to join Pack 883.

• Make sure your son’s name is listed as the “recruiter” on the new Scout’s application
• The Cub Scout must join by the December Pack meeting to be included in the contest.

 If your son recruits a new Cub Scout during the time of the contest, he will:

• Receive a recruiter patch for his uniform
• Get to throw a pie into the face of the Cubmaster at the December Pack Meeting
• Have a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to Wal-Mart in a drawing at each Pack Meeting between September and December
  • Each recruiter gets one entry for each new Cub Scout he recruits, so the more Cub Scouts he recruits, the greater his odds will be of winning

At the December meeting, we will draw for the Grand Prize (a $50 Wal Mart gift card)

• Each recruiter gets one entry for each new Cub Scout he recruits, so the more Cub Scouts he recruits, the  greater his odds will be of winning
• Even if your son wins a $10 Wal-Mart gift certificate at one of the other drawings, he will still be eligible for the Grand Prize Drawing
