Pack Meeting Recap and a beautiful Weekend ahead!
Looking forward to a nice weekend? Here are some scout activities to plan for:
Community Day Parade: Join us Saturday May 17 at 11 AM in the parking lot above the High School football stadium. Look for the Red Pack 661 Shirts. Parade starts at 11:30. Remember, scouts who are marching will get their own bag of candy to take with them afterward.
Don’t have a red shirt? We’ll have them there. Bring $5 with you.
Community Day Booth: Volunteers are needed to staff the booth. Email cubman661@gmail.com to give a heads-up that you have time to help out.
Heritage Swim Tests: Join us Sunday May 18 at 5 PM at the Bethel Park High School swimming pool to take your Heritage Swim Test. This is instead of taking the test at camp- it saves you time at camp and is easier here than in the lake.
There’s still time to sign up for camping at Heritage! See the earlier blogspot post: http://cubscouts661.blogspot.com/2013/04/summer-camp-heritage-reservation-it-is.html and don’t forget to get your physicals in the coming weeks!!!
Day Camp: Sign up for June 24-25-26 Day camp at South Park! If you did not sign up at this week’s pack meeting, sign up by email cubscouts661@verizon.net . The pack will subsidize the fee to get you the $45 rate if you respond by this coming Wednesday May 22. After that, it’s $65.
Please also respond with a parent volunteer day (or part of the day) if at all possible... we need help keeping the group together.
Playground Cleanup: “Save the date” for this after-dinner service project at Westminster Presbyterian Church on Monday, June 3. More information to come soon!
Enjoy!

Reminder; Playground Cleanup Saturday, May 11
Playground Cleanup...
One of the ways that we express our gratitude to Westminster for the many services that we receive (as in, lots of room usage for our meetings, Pinewood Derby, etc and storage for our equipment) is to swoop to the playground and sweep it up for the coming year. It really doesn't take long and is a great service project for the kids (for some reason, it's easier to get them to clean up someone else's leaves...)
So, come on out and help clean up the playground at Westminster !
This perennial Good Turn will be on Saturday 5/11 from 9am to approx 11:30pm (depending on the number of helpers!). Please bring leaf rakes, brooms, leaf blowers, garbage bags, gloves (and kids in clothes that can get wet). We'll be raking out the leaves from all over, cleaning out the sand box, cleaning all toys and getting the playground ready for the munchkins!
In case of rain, please check your e-mail for an announcement of postponement/rain date...
