Welcome back, it's time to get back into Cub Scouting. We will have our first Pack Event next Monday 9/24 at the North Pointe Gym. Have your kids invite all their friends to this informational meeting. We will run through a few of our standard events then have an activity for the scouts while we give the new parents a quick overview of the program.

If you can't convince them, class B t-shirts would be okay too. |
