Popcorn Sales
Our Popcorn sales are almost over. We need all Popcorn money turned in by December 1st.

arrangements. Thanks to David for being our Popcorn Kernel this year!!

Recruiting Scouts
We’re still looking for more Scouts to join Pack 201. If you haven’t asked you sons friends,
neighbors, classmates etc… please do! You can even send them an email invitation at
http://www.thescoutzone.org/ecard.jsp Have them visit our website - http://pack201cary.org
or call me if they have questions – Matt Leonhard – 919-833-2007. Remember, your Scout
can earn the Recruiter patch if his friend joins!

“Fun” Events
We had our bowling “Fun” event at Buffaloe Lanes and had 16 Scouts and 15
Parents/siblings bowl. Everybody had fun and I saw some great shots! The next FUN event
(besides the Holiday Party) will be in January at Pump-it-up!

Pinewood Derby
We have our Holiday party & car cutting on Dec. 16th. The car kits will be passed out at the
den meetings on Dec. 2nd. Time to start thinking about your design!
Helping Out With the Pack
Pack 201 asks every family to volunteer for at least one event during our scouting year. This
could be pinewood derby, Blue and Gold committees or Camping coordinator. 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.

Medical Forms
We need each a medical form for each Scout. If you filled one out last year, please review it
for any updates. See Matt Leonhard

T-Shirts
We have the yellow Pack shirts for the new Scouts. If they haven’t picked up a shirt, please
do so soon. Additional shirts are available for $8.


Religious Emblems
Last year there were over 95 Scouts in our District that earned their religious award but only
1 (Corey Leonhard) from Pack 201. If you are interested in having your Scout work toward
earning their emblem, the Pack will cover the small fee for the booklet. Margaret Prakke has
volunteered to fill the Religious Emblem coordinator role. Please contact her if interested in
helping your Scout earn his award!
