Agenda

3. If any campers forgot a pillow/sleeping bag at Camp Carpenter, please see Larry Nash.
4. The awards that were backordered are now in. They will be presented at the next Pack meeting. Also, Quality Unit patches and new Council patches are available for those who did not get them. They should be worn on the uniform.

5. Cub Scout Popcorn Sales

   There will be a Show & Sell at Shaw’s Supermarket on September 22nd and 23rd from 9-4 both days. This is the first big selling day nationwide for Scouts, and there will be ads placed on radio, television, and newspapers. We will have the following at our booth:

   1. Flags
   2. 5-6 Scouts in uniform!
   3. At least two leaders or parents at all times!
   4. Scouts will need to practice what to say
   5. Samples - small dixie cups
   6. We will create a sign up schedule for parents and Scouts in 2-3 hour shifts
   7. There will be a computer with a Powerpoint display showing what Scouts do
   8. Some Scouts will bring Pinewood Derby cars

   Door-To-Door Popcorn Sales

   Order forms and information was handed out to Den Leaders to be distributed to their Scouts before the Pack meeting. Parents and Scouts can begin selling at any time.

6. Pack Meeting is September 13th. It will be our Popcorn Kickoff and Fall Round up to get new kids into Scouting. Theme is Cub Scout Express (trains). We will have a Roundup with all the kids together and a short slide show. Webelos will do the opening ceremony. There will be a train game in the gym, and possibly a train relay.
7. NH Jamboree is October 5-7. This Jamboree is a big event.
8. Year planning - themes, activities, Blue & Gold Dinner, Crossover to Arrow of Light, etc. Since the meeting was running long, it was decided that Larry and Mary should meet again separately to roughly sketch out the plans based on the themes.
9. Larry is looking into re-chartering with the Elks Club. It will be a potential place to meet with some possible storage.
10. Other fundraising ideas like selling Christmas Wreaths was brought up.

Hello All,

Time to start thinking about our up coming year. September we will be hitting the ground running, So…….here we go:

Tues. Aug. 28th at 6:30 PM at the Conway Library there will be a committee meeting. This meeting is IMPORTANT. We will be going over this year’s popcorn sales, our pack’s monthly plans for the up coming year, Fall Round Up at our Sept 13 Pack Meeting, Jamboree, and any other thing that needs addressing. Please be sure to come.

Sept is always a busy one.

Popcorn Sales can start NOW. Our Popcorn Committee (Sonya Porter and Mike Foss) are needing help with the popcorn sale (many hands make light work). Contact them for information. They have the forms for ordering. All den leaders can have their scouts start taking orders for popcorn. We will have popcorn on the eve of Sept 21. Before we let anyone have any for door to door Show and Sell, the pack will be having a 2 Day Blitz at Shaw’s Market, (Sept 22 & 23, 9-4 both days) This will have to be manned by adults, selling by scouts. This will be a Pack Event. It would be GREAT to see 100% involvement. This will be a great opportunity to make a lot of money for our pack. The more we make with this popcorn sale, the less we will have to dish out for our events.

New Hampshire State Jamboree - This is a big Scout event! Webelos are being invited to camp out with the Troop 150 Boy Scouts (which I recommend) and all other Scouts are invited for the Saturday events and evening show. It will be awesome! They are expecting up to 10,000 Scouts!

Date: Oct. 5-7 2007
Where: Gunstock Recreation Area
