Scouting News
After building a float and participating in the annual Halloween Parade, Cubs this month will be focused on outdoor physical fitness. In addition, a Turkey Shoot will be on the agenda. A variety of Nerf gun types will be used to shoot at targets. Members of each Den (Dens are based on grade levels.) will compete against others for the highest score with the winner in each Den receiving a prize.
The Pack extends a thank you to all who have dropped off pop can tabs in the barrel located in the St. John School cafeteria. The tabs are recycled to support the Ronald McDonald House, which enriches the lives of children by providing comfort, care and support to families. Additionally, there is a box located in the south lobby outside the church office where old and worn-out flags can be deposited. Flags will be disposed in an honorable and dignified ceremony.
After completing two service projects in October, one at the Auglaize Village Apple Butter Fest and one at the Grand Rapids Apple Butter Fest, the Troop will continue its service this month by cleaning the trail from Independence Dam to Florida during its hike. Boy Scouts also participated in the Halloween Parade by walking with the Cubs alongside their float.
The Boy Scout Troop has for many years recycled newspapers as a conservation project. Anyone wishing to recycle newspapers can place them in the garage on the east side of the south parking lot. Money made from their sale is used to help pay for Scouts to attend summer camp.
The Pack and Troop would like to thank everyone who purchased popcorn or made a donation during the recent campaign. Monies earned help provide outstanding programs for the youth. Your support was truly appreciated.
