Our next Pack meeting is on Tuesday October 25th at Grant Park. Its the annual pumpkin decoration meeting. Bring your decorated pumpkin, carved, painted or otherwise ghoulish along with some loose change for voting. The proceeds go to Unicef. As we did last year, we will once again have a flashlight treasure hunt out on the Grant Park grounds so don't forget to bring a flashlight and a keen eye to find your treasures.

Other News
We are happy to welcome the new Tiger Den! Looks like we have 5 new Tiger Cubs WELCOME to Pack 501!

The Wolf Den lost a couple of members but the remaining 3 Wolfs are excited to start their new year. If any of you know of other 2nd graders intersted in joining the Pack please feel free to pass on my contact information.

The Bears are their same fun loving selves. They are stepping up the the challenge that the Bear advancement activities present in their own lively way.

The Webelos I's remain a strong and well attended group. They are well on their way to earning pins and learning what it means to be a loyal scout.

The Webelos II guys have started thinking about Boy Scout troops and this is the time of year for open houses and other troop visits. Tony and I have been forwarding on information as we receive it to Curtis so if you are interested in the many Cub Scout troops in the Stanford District feel free to reach out to Curtis, Tony or me and we'll help get you introductions or contact info.

Thanks to all of the Den leaders and parent volunteers. We are all looking forward to a fun year of Scouting.

One more favor to ask...I am trying to clean up my email list and I got a new computer so if I'm missing anyone please let me know and I'll add them.
