BIRTHDAY BAGS
The Birthday Bags that the Scouts assembled last month went over very well. 22 bags were delivered to Alley's Shop in St. Paul. The bags will be given to children whom have birthdays that month when they come to get other items their family needs. The volunteers were very impressed again with the decorated bags and they said (with tears in the one women's eyes) that this really is probably the only gift that a child may receive on their birthday.
LION CUB
Pack 437 is interested in starting Lion Cubs for incoming kindergartners.

Shauna Galatzer has set up a new Pack 437 Blog.

PACK 437 NEEDS YOU!
Pack 437 has a history of attracting volunteers to help run the Pack. Everyone from Cubmaster John Mercier, Committee Chair Ken Purdham and all the leaders listed on the first page of this newsletter, volunteer their time to help make your boys' scouting experience the best possible. A number of our long time volunteers and their boys, have moved on to Boy Scouts.
As we begin planning for the 2009-10 year, we have a number of positions to be filled. Many of the positions are not year long time commitments. Typically, they are one-time events requiring perhaps 2-3 weeks of planning. Please take a look at the list below, and consider volunteering your time to help the pack in some capacity. Descriptions of each position can be found on the email attachment.
