Hats Off!!
What a great Blue & Gold Dinner!!
Many thanks for hours of hard work
and preparation to Peggy Greco and her helpers, Lisa Dushane and Lynn Pearson, who
pulled together an unforgettable Blue & Gold Dinner.
It was a very impressive and entertaining
evening. So much so, that Charles Perkins
is requesting that it falls on his birthday again next yearJ

Start the camping season off right
with the Memorial Day weekend at Camp Blackwell in Wheaton (this is NOT family camping
- scout and one parent only). If you are interested, get your completed permission
slip (attached) and money in to Kent Morikado. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MEDICAL
FORM ON FILE WITH THE PACK FOR YOU AND THE ADULT GOING WITH YOU!!!!!! If you
have any other questions please contact Kent Morikado kkmorikado@sbcglobal.net or Rich Baldino richardbaldino@comcast.net
Family Memorial Day Weekend Camping
Opportunity at Camp Napowan
If you would rather camp with the
whole family over Memorial Day Weekend, Camp Napowan may be the right place for
you. It’s in Wild Rose, Wisconsin,
about 3 1/2 hours away. All family
members can participate in activities.
The Pack 132 participants to camp together Please let John Brooks know if you are
interested in going or if you have any questions (847-342-0957 or e-mail
johnb@henry-lee.com). Each
family should submit the paperwork (attached) to Council as required on the form
along with payment ($60/family).
Webelos Weekends this Summer
This is for boys and
a parent that are entering the 4th and 5th grades or will
be Webelos next year.
Camp Napowan
Wild Rose, WI - June 13 -15th
Camp Lakota
Woodstock, IL - August 8
– 10th
These are fun opportunities
for the scout and a parent. All the information for this outing is on the
attached brochure. You should have received a flyer in the mail already Some
of the packs that went had up to 15 Webelos from their pack. The more boys
that go the more fun they may have. If you are going to Camp Napowan please
let me know and turn in the form by Jun 1st to the Council office.
Food will be provided and it is not too bad. (We are planning to attend Napowan
again this year.)
Camp Lakota is a great
place to go too. It is closer and they should have a pool by then. Again,
please let me know if you will be going to this camp.
Summertime Scouting is right around the corner!
Please review all the great camping
opportunities available through September, offered by Cub Scouts.
Details attached.
Housekeeping
Reminder to scouts and parents that
at Pack meetings the scouts and siblings are to remain in Fellowship Hall and not
be running around the church. If a scout or sibling needs to leave to get
a drink or go to the bathroom they must be accompanied by an adult!!!
