Cub Fun Day 2011 will be held this year on Sunday, October 9. It starts at noon and runs until 5 or 6 PM.

This is always a great day, an afternoon of boys getting to do boy stuff outside

BB Guns
Archery
Slingshots
Catapults, Trebuchets, and other stuff that flies
…and Mrs. Schultz!!!

Pack 661 had the largest attendance at this summer’s Day Camp… Let’s see if we can do it again for Fun Day!

I need to have the names of all boys who will be attending by Thursday, September 22 so I can register and pay for us at Flag Plaza by the deadline. The cost is $9 per boy and it will be collected at Fun Day. Parents are welcome to stay for the day; there is no charge for parents.

Here’s the flier from the District email:
