Hi Pack Families.  Welcome back!!!  The pack leaders are working hard to confirm our fall schedule, with our first pack event being a picnic in Hamlin Park.  September's focus is on recruiting, especially for kindergarten and 1st graders to fill our Lion and Tiger Dens.  But anyone can join cub scouts in grades K-5.  If you know somebody that is interested in scouts, please direct them to one of our many recruiting events this month, or bring them to the picnic or our Pack 514 open house. Please watch for communications from your individual den leaders for information on when you first den meeting will be.

Come kick-off the new scout year with a pack picnic.  We will be getting together at Hamlin Park for an informal picnic with food (hot dogs) and games for the scouts.  This event is for the whole family.  Bring a friend who might be interested in joining cub scouts to talk to the leaders and find out what it's all about.

The beginning of our scout year starts with the annual BSA Popcorn Sale.  We will be doing take-orders only through either the online order website or paper forms.  There will be no show-and-sells this year.  Paper order forms will be available at the Packnic or your first den meeting.  All popcorn orders are due on October 23.

The annual Pack Hot Dog Sale at the Roycroft Art Show is this coming weekend, June 28th and 29th.  This is the pack's biggest fundraiser and helps pay for our pack events through out the year.  We ask that each family sign up for at least one shift on Saturday or Sunday.  We also need adult help with setup on Friday evening.  See the shifts on the pack calendar for sign ups.  Scouts should wear their Class B yellow shirts and a baseball cap.  

Our annual spring camp on June 14th is coming up and we have some fun activity rotations planned for the day.  One of the activities we usually have during Spring camp is a carnival game rotation.  We are looking for some volunteers who would be willing to either make, or bring an existing, outdoor carnival type game.  We are looking for things like corn hole, the washer game, outdoor bowling, or any other game you or your scout can come up with.  Scouts will get tickets that can then be turned in for prizes.  If you have a game you can make or bring, please email Lisa Lohiser at llohiser21@gmail.com
