And Update And A THANK YOU!

Thank you! Thank you 1,000 times over for sharing, donating and reaching out! Our hearts are so abundantly overflowing... to the point of tears... first from shock, then from sadness... then from humility as this experience has been such a ride in the last week. Six Flags has nothing on the roller coaster of emotions we've felt.

Anyone who is a part of scouting knows that you join with the expectation of an excellent program for youth. Many of us had never been in Scouting before but had an idea of scouting pictured in our mind. You think of honor, citizenship, self reliance, leadership... you think boys living out the character traits of the Scout Law. You THINK of CAMPING! The idea that someone tried to steal our outdoor program from these kids was heartbreaking and for people to reach out telling us that THEY won't let that happen has made us even more committed to the program for our youth. I know that I can easily speak for all of the leadership in our Unit that it's truly an honor to serve our families... and our community. This program is for the Scouts. Always has been. Always will be!

We are working hard to reply to every question, comment and donation information request specifically and individually. Compiling the information with approximate valuations is a tedious process as what we paid might not be the true replacement cost so we are trying to assess what that amount is actually going to be while being frugal because we all know that a Scout is Thrifty.

We are having to sort through some photos of events to understand just what items actually were included in the loss that we hadn't thought of -- our Scout Sunday books... all of the items we have had for our Blue & Gold banquet... all of the different supplies we had for our monthly pack meetings. These were just in totes that we would grab but not necessarily itemized. We are trying to itemize those for full disclosure of the loss. All while still being parents with busy schedules and jobs, etc. So please know that we are working to channel all of that information to you!

Our Committee Chair, April Driggers, will be our point of contact for information and donations so that we can maintain a level of consistency and transparency that our membership has come to expect. This will be no different. Updates will be shared here and on our Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/cubscoutpack1910/

We can't wait to share all of the great news with our Pack!

And we simply wanted to reach out and tell you.... thank you. From the bottom of our hearts... thank you for believing our Unit enough to comment, share, donate and reach out. Scouting is alive and well in Keller, Texas and we will have fantastic November campout thanks to you!!!

Yours in Scouting,
