Following up on the Friends of Scouting (FoS) presentation at the last pack meeting...
Friends of Scouting is a fundraising arm of the Boy Scouts, in our case the Baltimore Area Council, which supports about 47,000 Scouts, largely through generosity of Friends of Scouting. (For the 2008 campaign, we had our FoS presentation at the December pack meeting, hoping that the lure of last-minute tax deductions would draw out more donations.)
If you wish to donate to Friends of Scouting, send your donation (and pledge card, if you have one) to:
BAC, BSA
710 Wyman Park Drive
Baltimore, MD 21211
Attn: Friends of Scouting
Please include a reference to Pack 918 and Friends of Scouting (or FoS).
If you donate at the one Scout level ($135) or more, let me know and I'll get you this year's FoS shoulder patch.
As was mentioned at the last pack meeting, we need to see some new (and familiar) faces at the monthly pack committee meetings. Why? We need ideas and opinions.
We need ideas about:
- pack activities outside of pack meetings
- activities during pack meetings
- service projects
- worthy charities to support
We need opinions about:
- what we do right
- what we do wrong
- what we can do different
- what direction you think we should go as a pack
OK, after we get your ideas and opinions, we could also need your time. If you have an hour a month, we'll take it. It might be picking up awards at the trophy shop, or making a reservation at the swim center, or it may be buying ice cream for a summer party.
Den leaders, to this end, in addition to your own attendance, please see if you can get one non-leader parent attend the monthly committee meetings. They are on the 1st Thursday of each month, 7:00 p.m., OHES Music Room. The next one is next week : JANUARY 3RD.
To all who already help: THANKS. To all who could: Please think about it... many hands make light work!
Have a great Pack 918 day!
