Hello Pack 52! Welcome to the 2019-2020 program year for Pack 52! We have a lot of fun and exciting activities planned for this year! NEW CUBMASTER MESSAGE from DAVE CUNNING I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself as the new Cubmaster for Pack 52. But first I want to thank Jim Kimmel, our previous Cubmaster, for his years of service leading and helping to build Pack 52 into the strong organization that we have today. I volunteered to be cubmaster because Scouting has been a very important part of my life. From becoming an Eagle Scout, to volunteering at BSA summer camps, I have enjoyed all of the experiences scouting has to offer. We have been a part of Pack 52 for two years and my son, Jimmy, is now a Bear scout. I have been impressed with Pack 52 and I’m committed to provide a positive Scouting experience for the entire Pack 52 family. Our parent volunteers and Leaders are the foundation of a successful Cub Scout program. Without all of you, we couldn’t provide the opportunities for learning, friendship and fun that we do, so THANK YOU! As a new leader, I ask for your support and encourage your input and feedback on the program throughout the year. Please reach out to me at [email protected] with your ideas and suggestions. See below for some important information to get us started for the Fall! RECRUITING OPEN HOUSE : SCOUT ME IN!
Pack 52 will host our Fall Recruitment/Open House event, Scout Me In!, on Tuesday, September 10th at 6:00PM at OLMC School. We will be welcoming in prospective scouts, boys and girls, for all den levels this year – Lions (K), Tigers(1st Grade) Wolves (2nd), Bears (3rd Grade), Webelos (4th Grade), and Arrow of Light (5th Grade). Current scouts are not required to attend the Open House, but are welcome to help out. Please tell your friends and neighbors; this is the primary way we recruit new members! DEN MEETING SCHEDULE We will resume our normal Den Meeting schedule on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17th. The dens will meet at the following times: · TIGERS (1st Grade), WOLVES (2nd Grade), & BEARS (3rd Grade): TUESDAYS 6:00 – 7:00PM, OLMC School Classrooms · WEBELOS DEN 2* and ARROW OF LIGHT (4th and 5th Grade): TUESDAYS 7:00 – 8:00PM, OLMC School Classrooms *Webelos Den 2 timing subject to change · WEBELOS DEN 1 (4th Grade) : FRIDAYS 6:15 – 7:15 at St. Mary’s Hall. POPCORN SALE Popcorn sales and our Hoagie Sale are the two main fundraising events that help raise money for our activities throughout the year such as the Blue and Gold Dinner, Summer Camp Musser scholarships, and our Fall/Spring camping trips. The fundraisers help us to keep our annual dues low from year to year. Our Popcorn “Kernel” (aka sales coordinator) is Jayme Foster. Sales run Sep – Oct and we will be selling popcorn door-to-door, through online sales, and at “show and sell” events at locations in Doylestown. More details to follow in the coming weeks so, keep your “ears” open (“corny” pun intended). YEARLY DUES & UNIFORMS Annual dues remain the same as last year, $125 per scout. Annual dues should be paid by OCTOBER 1st. You can pay by check at any of the September den meetings or at the October 1st pack meeting (make check payable to “OLMC Pack 52”). ** All scouts who submit their dues on time will receive a FREE MODEL ROCKET KIT!! We will be launching these rockets at our Fall Camping trip** We continue to have a uniform recycling program. Please consider donating your outgrown/old uniforms for use by other pack members. The uniform recycling bin will be available at upcoming den and pack meetings. The Pack will not be providing free neckerchiefs to members this year. Please consider donating your old neckerchiefs and slides to the recycling bin! FALL FAMILY CAMPING October 18-20. Mark you calendars for our Fall Family Camping trip! We will be back at the Tohickon Campground where we had a great time at our past Spring Family Camping trip. We’ve moved the fall camping trip to earlier in October so that hopefully the nights won’t be too chilly. We’ve got some fun activities planned for the scouts, including model rocket launching, hikes, den skits, and s’mores around the campfire.
