Hi Scouts and Parents!
This is our first monthly update for the year.  We post at least once a month and sometimes more frequently if there is information you'll need to know.  You will receive an email with the link to this blog each time a new entry is posted.
 
First thing to notice:  The dates you need to know are always listed at the very beginning of each post so you have them readily available.  Please mark them on your calendar.
 
Popcorn
We're close to the end of the popcorn selling and we need every one's help to meet our goals.  Remember, the goal is to send all the Scouts to Magness Camp this summer.  For those who didn't go this past summer, take a look at the August Update post on this blog to see some of the pictures.  It's an incredible experience for the scouts as well as the parents.  But it's not free, so we have to work at popcorn selling to make it to our goal.
1.  Each Scout has a $600 goal.  Sounds like a lot but there are several scouts who have either reached the goal or are almost there.  Each of these scouts will win a marshmallow crossbow shooter.
2.  If a Scout sells $1,000 or more he will have a special event at Invesco Field, tour the facility and do passing drills and punting with some former Broncos! 

We only have until October 19th to sell, so let's do it!!
 
Please remember to bring your popcorn selling sheets to the meeting each week.  Prizes are given out and we are able to track our progress.
 
Scout Dues
If you haven't paid your Scout dues, please remember to do this.  Dues are $3 per month or $24 for eight months.  You may pay monthly or however it works best for you.  See your Den Leaders to pay.

Some photos below of our September Pack Meeting where Rose Red Elk aka Red Feather Woman, talked to our Scouts about Plains Indian culture and did a Lakota (Sioux) dance with them!
 
 
 
If you have pictures you'd like to share on the blog from one of our Scout events, please email them to me and I'll be happy to post.
 
Thanks!
