SCOUT BUCKS
Scout Bucks are earned by selling products the Pack has chosen to sell for
fundraisers such as popcorn & wreaths. These funds then can be used for any fees
incurred in Cub Scouts, such as camping fees, annual activity fee, etc.
Pack 437 Treasurer, Shauna Galatzer, can generate reports of account activity & balances.
Sibling Care
NEW VOLUNTEER NEEDED!
In the past, Shauna Galatzer has graciously volunteered to entertain the
younger siblings during pack meetings with a box full of fun things such as coloring books, crayons, Barbie dolls, Hot Wheels, etc. Due to Shauna’s many leadership areas in our Pack, we are looking to have someone else take over this volunteer position.
If you are interested, please contact Shauna at 651-762-7645 or thegalatzerfamily@msn.com.
If you have any suggestions or offerings for this
box, please bring them to the October Pack Meeting.
UNIFORM EXCHANGE
Don’t know what to do with those old uniforms? Does your scout need a new uniform?
Good News - the Pack has implemented a “Uniform Exchange” to hand down those outgrown uniforms. The plan is to have a box at the pack meetings for people to donate their “gently” used garments. The benefit, besides cost, is that most of the uniforms should already have a lot of common patches on them, like pack numbers, World Emblem, Indianhead Council, etc.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Do you want to help Pack 437 but aren’t sure how?
Please consider the many options:
activities coordinator, librarian,
photographer, webmaster, district activities,
Blue and Gold coordinator . . .
Available positions will be shown in RED on this blog site.
Your involvement will be greatly appreciated.
Some positions involve ongoing Pack support while others are one-time event support positions.
Contact any Committee Leadership member for questions – we are happy to share in this rewarding experience.
