Day of Service a HUGE Success!!

We want to send out a huge thank you to everyone who participated in our Day of Service at the elementary school.  During our 6 hours (with 13 scouts and their families) we were able to build 3 picnic tables, clean out the front and side gardens, mulch those gardens, and rake up the back area a bit.  We also collected a shocking 3 trash bags full of trash we found all over the school grounds.  While we haven't yet heard directly from Mrs. Mucha, we know she'll appreciate everyone's hard work to make our school look amazing!

On another note, Tuesday, May 12 will be our next Pack event.  We will be meeting at the Rock House in town at 6:30 pm for a pack hike.  Please be sure to wear your pack 118 hat!!

Watch your mail boxes--Cub Scout Couriers for May will be mailed to everyone this week!

Day Of Service

While we hope to mention this tonight at our pack meeting, we know that some of you may not be there to hear this.  Next week is April vacation, which usually means a break from scout meetings.  However, we will be hosting our second annual Day of Service for Mrs. Mucha and the elementary school.  On Friday, April 24, from 9am-3pm we will be conducting a couple different service projects that will benefit WBES.  We will be building a few picnic tables for the new playground area, we'll be doing a trash sweep of the entire grounds, and we'll be sprucing up the courtyard area.  We need as many volunteers as we can get--boys and adults alike!  Lunch will be served, but we are asking everyone to bring garden gloves, rakes, shovels, buckets, etc. that will help us with our service.  Also bring a water bottle filled with water and pray for a warm, sunny day!  Boys don't need to wear uniforms but should wear their pack 118 hat and Class B t-shirt.  We hope to see everyone there!

Scouting For Food

Don't forget that this Tuesday, April 14 is our April pack meeting.  This is the meeting where we are participating in a BSA program called "Scouting for Food".  Typically this is done in November, right before the holidays, but this is the time of year when food pantries suffer the most.  Every scout has been given some plastic bags and some flyers to hand out to neighbors, family, friends, etc.  It is our hope that these bags will be filled with non-perishable foods that we can pass along to the Sharing Cupboard food pantry here in West Brookfield.  Please plan on collecting your filled bags prior to our pack meeting, which starts at 6:30pm on Tuesday.  Boys will be sorting food and boxing it up for delivery to the pantry.  As a thank you, the pack will host a pizza party for everyone!  (As a heads up, we may ask a couple of you families that have trucks to deliver the boxes down the street if you're willing) Let's all work together to see if we can reach our goal of 150 bags to donate!!
