Day 2 of door to door popcorn sales will be held Saturday October 8. Scouts will meet at the Crestwood Park Pavilion at 1pm. Sales will be concentrated in the Crestwood area of St. Joseph. All Pack 40 Cub Scouts are welcome to attend.

Bring a small red wagon if you have one to pull during the selling period.

Fall Popcorn Sales

2011-09-20T06:36:00.000-07:00

Popcorn is our major fundraiser for both the Pack and the individual Cub Scouts. This year we will take different method in selling popcorn. In past years we have set-up in front of the IGA and sold popcorn. For Fall we are going to try a door to door sales approach. We are pre-ordering a large amount of popcorn to have on hand as the Scouts go door to door. We will only pre-order the most popular sellers. The Pack committee decided to try this method after hearing the large success that Pack's in Homer, Paxton and Monticello have had.

2 dates have been picked:
Sunday September 25 1-5pm for the Bears and Webelos I & II dens.

Saturday October 8 1-5pm for Tigers and Wolves

If Scouts have conflicts on their particular Den's day, they can participate on the other date.

The Dens' will meet at Scout Hall on the assigned Den day. We will have St. Joseph divided out in sections so that the Scouts can cover the town and work in teams with parents. If you have a small red wagon that the scouts can use to pull the popcorn down the sidewalk, this will help. We will also need help from parents in driving the Scouts and popcorn to particular locations.

In order to provide equity for all Scouts that participate, we will take the total daily sales and divide it evenly amongst the scouts that participate for their Scout Accounts.

I am asking each Den leader to be responsible for organizing their particular Den on the sales day, encourage parents to help, etc.

This door to door effort does not replace the individual sales that the Cub Scouts can make, especially parents taking forms to work, etc. We will have information on this in the very near future.
On-line sales are available now at the Trailsend Popcorn website at: http://www.trails-end.com/trailsend/scouts/index.jsp

Committee Meeting Tuesday July 12

2011-07-03T06:57:00.000-07:00

We will have a Pack 40 committee meeting on Tuesday July 12 at 6:30pm in Scout Hall. Our agenda will be to plan for the coming year.

Our pack needs to get more parental involvement this year to give our Scouts the best experience possible. Attached is a listing of various Pack positions that other units have used. Perhaps there is a specific position you would like to have.

Pack 40 will be working with the St. Joseph American Legion to work the fish tent at the Fall Festival as a fundraiser for the Pack. This will be August 11, 12 and 13. We will also be helping the Legion set up the serving area, tables and chairs, etc. Pack 40/Troop 40/Crew 40 will be participating in the parade on 8/13. Parade is at 3pm with line-up about 2:30pm.

I would like to thank Carl Roth for stepping up to be our new Treasurer. Carl and I are working to put together the individual Scout account balances and get a handle on what the Pack has for funds. Additionally we will be using a software program that will allow for parents to log in via the web to check their Scouts balances. Den Leaders will also be able to use this software for tracking their activities, awards, etc.

Fall Recruiting - We will need to plan for the fall recruiting and develop a calendar of activities for the coming year. There has been some discussion about doing a "Cub Scout Carnival" as a theme. Think about some games we could play to make this a good event.

If you have other parents or incoming potential Tiger Cub parents (first graders), please pass this along to them. I want to make this a memorable year for our Scouts.

Enjoy your July 4th weekend and take pause to celebrate our countries freedoms.

Pack 40 Veterans Day Observance 11-11-2010 @ 10:00am

2010-11-03T12:24:00.000-07:00

All,

The Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts in grades K-4 will be able to participate in a short Veterans Day celebration at the St. Joseph Grade School on Thursday November 11 at 10am. The Cub Scouts/Girl Scouts will be part of a flag core to bring in the American flags to the school assembly. We will ask the Cub Scouts wear either their Pack 40 t-shirts or their regular scout shirt.

We have arranged with the St. Joseph American Legion to use their flags so that each scout walking in will be carrying an American Flag. The entire event will last about 10 minutes total. This is a great opportunity to teach the kids about Veterans Day and for the Scouts to participate.

Also if you are interested the St. Joseph American Legion will be dedicating the new Veterans Memorial addition at the High School on the same day on 11am - 11/11 at 11am. Should be easy to remember. The Cub Scouts will not have a role in this.

Please pass this onto your Dens and parents so they can have the kids wear the shirts to school that day.

Let me know if you have any questions.
