Family Camping at Falls Lake – Rolling View, Group Site #2

 

We will be having our first camping outing Saturday & Sunday November 5-6th. It will be at the Falls Lake Recreational Site. You can arrive after 8am on Saturday. We will leave before Noon on Sunday. We will have activities planned for both days and a campfire Saturday night. We need some help coordinating the trip and transporting the equipment, so please let me know if you are interested.

 

The site is similar to the Jordan Lake facilities with the lake within walking distance, and the bath facilities nearby. We should be able to fish and hike and we will likely have a Ranger come by to do some nature training or a hike. Please sign up and pay by November 1st. The cost is $8 per person ($2 per meal if not staying for the entire weekend, free for siblings under 5)

 

T-Shirts

Pack 201 T-shirts are available.  The cost is $8.00.  Good quality shirts – these are considered Class C uniforms and are worn at Scouting events when a full uniform isn’t necessary.  These also help identify our boys in a crowd of Scouts.

 

Popcorn Sales

Nicole Gutierrez is our Popcorn Kernel – THANK YOU!.  The Show & Sell at Lowes went very well. Thanks to all who volunteered to sell. Please help your Scouts to sell to their Neighbors, friends etc…  This is our main source of funds to run the Pack and we need everyone to help.  Please see Nicole tonight if you have any questions. We need all Show & Sell money and order sheets turned in by Nov. 1st

 

Luminaria

Luminaria is a special service project which Pack 201 (and most scouts in Cary) does every year.  We need volunteers to help to make sand bags and prepare the kits.   Please sign up at the information table tonight or see Ginger Haroldson, our Luminaria coordinator. (Tigers don’t do Luminaria).

 

Helping Out With a Den

If you know you are going to be around for the hour your son is in his den meeting, volunteer in your son’s Den or another Den or help out with the Pack.  Don’t be afraid to volunteer because you have little ones – bring them along.

 

Helping Out With the Pack

Pack 201 expects every parent to volunteer for at least one event during our scouting year. This could be popcorn, Luminaria, pinewood derby, Blue and Gold committees.  Cub Scouting is a family program, and our program is only as strong as the adults who volunteer their time to make the program happen. Please visit the pack table this evening and sign up for at least one activity.
