tell them about this event. We'll have stomp rockets, S'mores, and a special guest

Service Project on Sunday, September 14 at St Catherine
Our host has asked us to help out with their Fall carnival by emptying the
recycling and garbage bins periodically during the event. If you have an hour or
two to spare that day, they'd really appreciate the help.

welcome back & recruitement

Our first Pack meeting is right around the corner on Monday, August 25, starting at 6:30pm in the parish center of St Catherine church. We've got some fun activities planned for the Scouts so the parents have a chance to reconnect with friends and fill out enrollment forms for the coming year.

The following Thursday, August 28, at 6:00pm at Community Park near the playground, Pack 766 is hosting a recruitment event for prospective Cub Scout families. If you know of someone who might be interested in joining, bring them to this event so all of their questions can be answered and their boys can get a taste of some Cub Scout action.

Our September Pack meeting on Monday, September 8 at 6:30pm in the parish center will be a chance to meet Scouts and their families who are new to the Pack. As always, we'll have some fun activities for all of the Scouts.
