PLEASE HELP US BAKE!!

A reminder that our bake sale is only a few days away!  Most dens didn't get a chance to see the sign up sheet for bakers/sellers for Sunday.  Please, if you can, we'd love for everyone to bake something (nothing fancy or huge) for us to sell at our bake sale!  It doesn't have to be a lot of something either.  A batch of cookies or a batch of cupcakes is perfect!  If everyone can do a little of one thing, it adds up to a lot of things and that's what we need!  Any baked goods can be brought to the school on Sunday, December 4 from 11:30am on.  You can also drop baked goods off at Ryan's house Friday or Saturday or even early Sunday if you'd rather.  Just give him a call first.  (508)867-8367. We'll be at the sale  from 12-3 selling so any scouts that want to stop by to help us sell, we'll gladly take the help!  (You'll earn some camp cash too!)  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call your den leader or Ryan the Cubmaster!  Thank you all in advance for your help and support with this event!  It's going to be a GREAT day!

White Christmas Bake Sale

Our annual Bake sale during the White Christmas celebration will be taking place next Sunday, December 4th from 12-3pm at the Elementary School.  We are looking for members of the pack to donate some baked goods to our sale.  If you'd like to bake something, please wrap items individually if possible.  This makes it much easier to sell to our customers!  Also, we're looking for some willing scouts to help us sell our baked goods.  We will also be selling more of our corn packs that we sold at the vendor fair, so we'll need scouts to sell those as well.  If you want to bake something but are not planning on working, any goods may be dropped off at the school after 11:30am Sunday morning.  If you want to arrange to drop it off with Ryan either Friday or Saturday, please give him a call at (508)867-8367 and that can be arranged. If you'd like to bake and/or work the table with us, please let Ryan know at evannpd@charter.net.  There will also be a sign up sheet at this week's den meetings if you'd rather sign up there.  Thanks everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Pack 118!  Our leaders and Committee members hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday!  This is the time of year to stop and be thankful for everything you have.  It can sometimes be hard for the boys to do that, as they tend to focus on what they don't have, but deep down inside they all know to count their blessings!  Enjoy your holiday everyone and keep an eye on the mail...our Cub Scout Courier, December edition is on it's way!

Don't forget that this coming weekend, November 19-20 is our 2nd annual Camp in at the school.  The party will start at 6:30 pm in the cafeteria on Saturday and will continue until Sunday morning at 9am.  Feel free to bring a tent to "pitch" in the gym!  Bring your sleeping bag and flashlight!  We will have an indoor "campfire", play some games to win the spirit stick, and watch a movie to wind down.  Don't want to stay over night?  That's fine!  Come up for the fun and leave at bedtime.  We're really trying to get our attendance up at pack meetings so come and join us for the FUN!!!!! Any questions, please contact Ryan the Cubmaster!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations to all the boys that helped out at the vendor fair!  Would you believe we raised $470???!!!!  Thank you so much to everyone that helped out!  I will have camp cash certificates at our pack meeting on Saturday!  Great job guys!

Vendor fair tomorrow

Remember that tomorrow is our Vendor Fair from 9-2.  Any boys who signed up to work should be prepared to work!  Please note that you should NOT wear your scout uniform!  This is not a BSA sponsored fundraiser and so we're not "allowed" to wear them.  You may wear your Pack 118 tshirt and/or your scout hat. 

Also remember that you will be there to work and not to fool around, run around, or play outside.  You will be expected to earn your camp cash by standing at the table attending to customers.  Anyone else who wants to join us-there's plenty of room so come on down!  Feel free to bring water or snacks if you plan on sticking around for a while! 

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!

WBES Vendor Fair

Just a reminder that this Saturday, November 12 is the WBES Vendor Fair!  We will have our little table set up to sell our corn hot/cold packs.  Some of you signed up to work the fair, but there are still slots open if anyone else wants to join us!  The fair runs from 9-2 but we will be setting up at 8am and finishing up no later than 3 (but probably closer to 2:30).  Please feel free to come up whenever you can!  Any boy that works at the fair (and by "works" we mean actually stands  by the table, talking with customers, taking money, etc. and NOT running around, not paying attention, not actually caring, etc) will earn money for summer camp.  Boys that work the fair should have a responsible adult with them during their "shift" just in case!!  If you have any questions, email Amy at ALL4980@charter.net  Don't want to come and sell?  Please stop by and check out the fair.  The vendor fees are all donated to the school so the entire thing benefits all of us!  (maybe you can even buy one of our packs!!)  SEE YOU THEN!!!
