Pack 73 April News

BLUE AND GOLD BANQUET

This Thursday at 6:00 in the Schuylkill Cafeteria will be the 2023 Pack 73 Blue and Gold Banquet. This is the Packs formal event to celebrate a year of Cub Scouts as well as sending our Arrow of Light Scouts onwards to Scouts BSA. To celebrate we will enjoy a potluck feast. If you haven’t signed up yet, I encourage you to visit the Sign Up Genius to see what type of food is still needed. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e044fa9ae2fabf49-2023/65015052#/

            This is a formal event, so I encourage all our Cub Scouts to be in Class A Uniform.
