National Summer Time Pack Award
Packs may qualify for the National Summertime Pack award by planning and conducting three pack activates, one for each month of the Summer (June, July, and August). Packs may receive a colorful streamer. Dens with 50% attendance qualify for a den participation ribbon. Boys who attend all three pack events will qualify for a Summer Time Pack Award Pin. The pin is now color coordinated for Tigers, Wolfs, Bears, and Webelos.
    
The purpose of this program is to encourage Packs to continue to meet through the summer. The application form is in the back of the Cub Scout Leader Book.
    
NEW in 2008:  Four Different pins are available, one for each level: Tigers, Wolfs, Bears, and Webelos. A boy now can earn 4 different pins for each summer in Cub Scouting.

Fall Fun With Son
On October 11-12, 2008 at Camp Sol Mayer a Fun With Son will be held so a Cub Scout can have fun for a weekend with an adult partner. We will have many activities to do during the day along with a campfire. Meals will be provided. Flyers will be mailed in September to all registered Cub Scouts and new Cub Scouts will get flyers in their lunch boxes. This year there will be some additional surprises for all Cubs who attend.
    
I am currently seeking an adult leader to help plan the days events, so if you are interested, please let Devin Koehler at the Council office know.
