SCOUT BUCKS!
Shauna Galatzer, Pack 437 Treasurer, would like to remind you that all Scout Bucks accounts must be paid to zero if they are in the negative by the May Pack meeting. She will be sending emails out to those families that still owe Scout Bucks. Please be sure to bring your check books to the April Pack Meeting to settle your account if you are in the negative. Thanks to all the families that have promptly responded and gotten their Scout Bucks up to date! Should anyone have any questions or if you would like to see you son's Scout Bucks report, please feel free to contact Shauna at any time! thegalatzerfamily@msn.com or 651-762-7645 Thank you!
BOOK DRIVE
Are your children’s bookshelves full of forgotten books or books that they’ve outgrown? North Metro Pediatrics, a medical clinic specializing in serving uninsured & underinsured children and teens in our area, is in need of books for children of all ages. To promote reading, each child seen at the clinic is encouraged to pick out a book to bring home & keep.
If you have any new or gently used books that you would be willing to donate, please bring them to the APRIL 13th Pack meeting. We will have boxes to collect them and will donate them on behalf of Pack 437!
Polar Camp FUN!
Great camp, lots of participation, all cabins were full.
Everyone dealt with being out of water from Friday night through mid-day Saturday. No whimpering, everyone pitched in, Mr. Cerney and Mr. Golding were excellent water haulers. Outdoor toilets were exhilarating!
Fun activities throughout the day, which finished with a great all-Pack dinner and some skits by the Boyscouts and followed by toasted marshmallows by the bonfire.
Sunday morning hike to Friendship Point was a big challenge but everyone made it!
