ATTENTION ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED IN CUB SCOUTS


Please come to a Cub Scout planning meeting!
 
We are calling a meeting for all boys and parents who are interested in scouting.  We will meet in the Fellowship Hall at 7:00 PM on Thursday, October 2.  At least two people from the local Boy Scout council are expected to attend.
 
We received a lot of positive feedback from our earlier e-mail and we are ready to take the next step!  If you or your boy(s) are interested, or if you think you might be interested, please come.
 
We hope to re-build a viable pack right here at St. John.  We can establish who will be the leaders of our pack, who wants to help out but not be in leadership, and sign up any boys who want to join.
 
If you cannot attend but are interested, please let me know by phone or e-mail.  If you have already signed up for scouting with Pack 147 (or any other pack), please come to the meeting or contact me anyway.  Whether you choose to stay with Pack 147 or you want to join with us, we want your input.
