Christmas Party Pack Meeting TOMORROW!

Don't forgot TOMORROW is the December Pack meeting Christmas party!  We can't wait to see you!

Don't forget our POTLUCK!!

Don't forget:

• Your potluck provisions!
• Your Christ's Haven donations
• EVERYONE is to bring one package of BRAND NEW WHITE SOCKS per child that attends. (It's for a game, and then the socks will be matched and donated to community storehouse.)

Oh, and don't forget your seasonal hat!

If you're planning on attending CUB-O (whether it's to camp or just for the day), please bring your completed registration form to turn in.  Those can be found HERE.

If you have not turned in your new health forms for the 2018 year, NOW is the time to do that as well.  We only need sections A & B.

Lastly, if you haven't made your recharter payment, please bring your checkbook and/or credit card. This is the last time to make arrangements for payment before we have to remove names from our recharter list to submit to National. Thanks for your help!

The pack will have plates, paper goods and, of course, all the entertainment.

Save the Date - December Pack Meeting

It's hard to believe but it's time to start thinking about CHRISTMAS already! But hey when there are...

...we've gotta do what we've gotta do!

As usual we have a fantastic evening planned for all our Pack families. This year, we are having a Christmas Potluck Pack Meeting

Oh yes, FOOD glorious FOOD!  NO rushing to try to feed the family before the Pack Meeting. Our Arrow of Light Den will be preparing main course entrees and we are asking families to sign up to bring sides, drinks and desserts.  The Sign Up Genius will be out soon.

What can you do to help? Well, I'm so glad you asked!

1. WATCH for the Sign Up Genius that will come through Scoutbook.
2. Be sure to RSVP on Scoutbook so we know how many to expect.
3. SAVE THE DATE on your calendar!  
4. SHOP for the food drive benefiting Christ Haven for Children's food pantry.  Be watching for that list from your den leaders.  
5. We will also be doing a SOCK IT TO ME "snowball" war!  So, bring a package of NEW solid white adult socks.
6. Like a good Scout, BE PREPARED for a holly, jolly, merry good time!
7. Find and wear your most festive hat!  (Parents, Scouts and siblings!!)

Disclaimer -- PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANYTHING WITH NUTS PLEASE!  SAVE GRANDMA's FRUITCAKE FOR YOUR FAMILY AT HOME... FOR A MULTITUDE OF REASONS. 

The pack will have plates, paper goods and, of course, all the entertainment.

So, save the date for the our Pack Meeting Christmas Potluck Tuesday, December 12.

• We will pass out popcorn sales winner prizes
• We will have some silly string wars
• We will have a PINATA!
• Wear your most festive hats

One thing we DO have a GREAT NEED for is for YOUR PHOTOS!!!! If you can e-mail, provide them via flash drive, share them in the cloud, e-mail them one by one. We would love to have your best snapshots to play during our slide show and it's always better when we get enough submissions to make complete den... so think of field trips, pack meetings, camping.... rockets, anything! Send me your pictures! Thanks so much!

Community Service

Pack 1910 has partnered with Community Storehouse ("CS") to help make the Christmas meals a little better and the shopping less of a burden for families in need.  As such, we are taking collections for holiday food baskets for our last community service project of 2015. Donations will be collected at or before our DECEMBER 8 PACK MEETING and taken the next day to CS.

We would like to encourage our Scouts to step it up a notch at home and do whatever extra chores around the house that they can between now and the December Pack meeting.  This will enable them to earn a little extra spending money which they could then use to purchase items to donate themselves and really take ownership of this service project.  It takes a village and everyone doing their part during the holidays to make it all work.  

Another idea that others have done is they have taken their wagon, Scout in uniform and had printed list in hand to show neighbors and TELL THEM what you are are seeking -- I would bet that most (but not all) will likely clear out their pantry for this cause.  People love the opportunity not only to help Cub Scouts but also their fellow man.  

The needed items for the Community Store are:

• Cereal
• Cake mix & frosting 
• Cookie or muffin mixes 
• Stove Top Stuffing 
• Instant Potatoes 
• Hamburger Helper or Tuna Helper 
• Soup 
• Canned Vegetables 
• Cans of Fruit 
• Gravy Mix 
• Broth 
• Canned Sweet Potatoes 
• Canned Pumpkin 
• Cranberry Sauce 
• Evaporated Milk 
• Peanut Butter 
• 2 lbs bags of Rice 
• Dried Beans 
• Pudding Mix 
• Boxed Jell-O 
• Mac N Cheese 
• Cornbread Mix 
• Ramen Noodles
• $10 food gift cards for turkeys/chickens

If you're feeling extra generous, I can tell you, too, that they are AAAAAAAAAAAALWAYS in need of bread, peanut butter and jelly.

If you would like to have a printable list to take to the grocery store.  Click HERE to be taken to a printable .pdf of the holiday list. Or, if you would like to have a printable list of snack foods they always need to feed the kids on the weekend, you can find that here. Whatever you can do, just DO because the kids in our community are counting on us!

So thank you, families of Pack 1910 for your generosity and love.  When we can come together for the greater good of the community, it just warms my heart.

DONATIONS WILL BE COLLECTED BEFORE OR AT THE PACK MEETING, TUESDAY DECEMBER 8.
