Hello Pack 618!

Reminder that our October Pack Meeting/Holiday Party is TONIGHT in the multipurpose room of Copper Canyon Elementary School.  We will start promptly at 7 pm, and we hope to be finished by 8:30.

Copper Canyon Elementary School is located at 17650 N 54th St,, here's a map. 

Things to bring:

* your whole family in costume

* non-perishable and non-breakable food donations for St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry (the pantry especially needs rice, spaghetti sauce and tuna right now, but they will gladly accept any food that you can spare.  PLEASE NO GLASS!)

See you all tonight!

Hello Pack 618, 

Reminder that the Hoey Haunted House is tonight!   Cost of admission is one food item per person per trip through the house.  5202 E. Danbury Road, here's a map.

Please be sure than any food donations are non-perishable and non-breakable! 

You can arrive any time between 7 and 8:30.  Hope to see you there!

Hello Pack 618!

Our pack has always placed a high value on community service, and next week we have two opportunities to help those in need (and have a whole lot of fun!).

Wednesday Night, anytime between 7-8:30 pm:  The Hoey Family is hosting a haunted house at their home (5202 E. Danbury Road, here's a map).  Admission cost is one food item (non-perishable and non-breakable, please) per person to donate to the St. Vincent DePaul food pantry.  A flier is attached; please come out and support this great event!

Thursday Night, 7-8:30 pm is our regular October pack meeting and Halloween Party.  We'll be meeting in the cafeteria of Copper Canyon Elementary School, here's a map.  Everybody (and I mean EVERYBODY!) should be in costume. We'll also be accepting food donations at our pack meeting, so please bring any food items that you can spare.

I'm told that the pantry is in particular need of rice, spaghetti sauce, and tuna right now, but all types of food are gratefully accepted.  All food donations should be non-perishable and non-breakable!   That means boxes, bags, cans or plastic bottles, but please NO GLASS!    

Special thanks to the Hoey family for hosting the haunted house, and to Amanda Cramer for coordinating the food drive!

Hi All,

Just a reminder that the pack will be awarding the Bobcat award on Monday night, October 27th at 7:30 PM at Paradise Valley Community Center, 17402 N. 40th Street.  We will be in room B28, the Tigers are having their den meeting from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM and we will start the Bobcat award at 7:30 PM.

All scouts receiving their Bobcat award and their families are invited to come out and receive their awards.  All committee members are invited to recognize our newest pack members on Monday night.  

Hello Pack 618,

Reminder that tonight is McScout night.    This is the only fundraiser before the end of the year, so please come out and support our pack.  It runs from 4 to 7 pm at the McDonalds on Tatum & Bell.

We still need volunteers, especially between 6 and 7 pm.  If you can help us out, please sign up here (or just show up in uniform and pitch in!).

Even if you can't stay to help, though, please still come out and support us.  The pack makes 15% of all sales made between 4 and 7 pm, including all sales at  the drive-thru.  So come for dinner, or treat yourself to a Gatorade or ice cream after your other events are over -- it's important that our pack makes a good showing.

Thanks everyone, see you in a few hours!

PS --> A couple of you have asked why we still need McScout Night after the dues increase.   The short answer is that the dues increase covered increased costs from BSA, increased costs to rent the CCES cafeteria, and increased costs for a complete overhaul of our December pack meeting (which, by the way, is going to be AWESOME!).   Last year we raised almost a thousand dollars from McScout night, and the pack does count on that income for capital improvements such as new safety equipment, a new pinewood derby starter, etc. etc.  For the amount we raise versus the amount of time involved, nothing else comes close.  As always, we appreciate your support!

PACK 618 Families-

Tomorrow is our Mc Scout Night fundraiser from 4-7pm, at the McDonalds on Tatum and Bell Rd. Thanks to all those that signed up, and are planning to attend! I show 19 Scouts signed up- I hope to see even more sign up today! We ask that each Den be represented with both leadership and Scouts attending are in Class 'A', and come ready to help! Again we receive 15% for ALL sales during 4-7pm, so please encourage family and friends to join us! Below is the original email, and sign up details. 

Please save the date- Tuesday October 14th, and plan to attend the our first and only McScout night fundraiser of the 2014/15 scout year. Why fundraise at McDonalds?

• They provide not only 15% back to the PACK for the sales from the people we bring in BUT we earn money on all of the sales during the 3 hour time slot! 
• The Scouts get to give back, by volunteering their time to help raise money. A Scout is thrifty!
• Our PACK does need the money. The PACK rents the cafeteria at Copper Canyon several times a year, and provides supplies needed to the scouts (rockets, derby cars, etc…) Managing dues is always a consideration and this event helps keep the dues to a minimum. 
• Like it or love it McDonalds is a family friendly venue that supports our community. 

The slots are in 30 minutes increments, to accommodate everyones busy schedule! If you can spend more than 30 minutes, please do! Please plan to bring your scout in the Class A Uniform (shirts tucked in, ready to represent), and ready to help! If you have more than one scout in the PACK, schedule them all in the same time slot.
