PACK 73 MARCH NEWSLETTER

Howdy Pack 73 Families!

LEADERS

            First off, lets welcome the Packs newest leaders. Our new co-den leaders for our Webelos Den are Megan Blair and Bethany Barone!

            Pack 73 still needs parents like you to volunteer to be leaders.

            The most pressing is an Assistant Cubmaster. An Assistant Cubmaster will take over from Mr. LoGreco at the end of the school year as Cubmaster. His time as the Cubmaster is ending and we will need someone for him to pass the torch to. He will help the new leader (He has lots of resources) and would like to have them in place by the end of this month.

            We also would need a Den Leader for our Bears (3^rd graders). This way when they become Webelos, Mrs. Carfang will not have to run two dens with different curriculums next year.

            The BSA provides training and resources that makes it easy to be a leader and the Pack will cover fees.

If interested, PLEASE let Mr. LoGreco or Mr. Greway know soon.

Without volunteers, there isn’t a Pack.

CAMP WARE AND PINEWOOD PHOTOS

           We trust everyone had a great time at the Pinewood Derby and at the recent trip to Camp Ware.

            If you have any photos from either event that you would like to share on our website, please send them to Mr. LoGreco so he can get them online.

BLUE AND GOLD BANQUET

            It is time to gather and feast. Every year we celebrate our year of Cub Scouting and sending our Arrow of Light Scouts on to Scouts BSA. Our banquet will be on April 13^th this year. The banquet will be potluck, so start planning what dish you might want to bring. More details and a sign-up genius will go out soon.

BALOO TRAINING

            To all of our Leaders and potential Leaders: Chester County Council will be hosting a BALOO Training at Camp Ware April 29^th-30^th. A Pack is required to have at least one BALOO Trained leader to do any overnight outdoor activity. Mr. LoGreco who is leaving the Pack soon is currently the Packs only BALOO trained leader, so we will need someone else to take the training. Sign up here: https://scoutingevent.com/539-67242 The Pack will reimburse any fees.

ARE YOU GOOD AT FACEBBOOK?

            The Pack will soon need a new Webmaster/Social Media Chair. This person will post photos and information about what the Pack is doing to the Packs Facebook Page and website. If you are interested, please let Mr. LoGreco know and we will get you setup.
