Minutes from Pack Committee Meeting 31-Aug

Thank you to all who attended and contributed in the meeting last night.  It was a good meeting and we made good strides towards getting ready to kick off the year.

We'd like to extend a warm welcome to Tom May who is joining our pack as the Charter Organization Representative.  Tom is the new associate pastor for TUMC and brings a tremendous wealth of scouting experience.  

A reminder of upcoming events:
  • 3-Sep 7:00PM-9:00PM  Den Leader Training at First Baptist Church in Denton.  This district meeting will be offering Den Specific training for leaders.  It is an opportunity to meet with den leaders from other packs and share ideas.
  • 12-Sep 10:00AM-2:00PM  Popcorn sale at Kroger on Teasley and Hickory Creek. The boys should wear their uniforms.  Please contact Chris Bayer for more information and to let us know when you will be there.
  • 12-Sep 8:00AM-5:00PM  BALOO training.  Location is TBD.  Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) is a one day leader training and is required for Cub Scout overnight camping events.  For more information see the calendar of events on the Frontier Trails District website.
  • 13-Sep 8:00AM-12:00PM  Popcorn sale at Trinity United Methodist Church. The boys should wear their uniforms.  Please let Chris Bayer know when you can arrive and how long you can stay.
  • 17-Sep 6:30PM-7:30PM  Kick off Rally at Trinity United Methodist Church.  The kids will be playing kickball on the baseball diamond behind the church.  Leaders should be in uniform and will be needed to meet the new parents and answer questions.  We need a parent volunteer to run the kickball game.  Please email Dallas Eshelman if you would like to help.
  • 12-Oct 6:30PM-7:30PM  Pack Committee Meeting.  This meeting is for the leaders to coordinate den and event activities for the upcoming month.  It will occur on the second Monday of each month.
Opportunities to Help:
We are still looking for volunteers.  Please email or call Dallas Eshelman if you are interested in filling one of the following roles:
  • Treasurer - we need someone to manage the expenses and deposits to the Pack's bank account
  • Assistant Cub Master - we are looking for someone to assume the Cub Master role next year.  If you want to be your son's hero, consider this opportunity. 
  • Blue & Gold Banquet Coordinator - we had a great time at last year's Blue & Gold.  This year we will have the opportunity to watch our Webelo2 boys cross over to Boy Scouts.  Let's party!
  • Tiger Leader - last year we saw a large influx in new Tiger Cubs.  We may need to create additional Tiger Dens and will need leaders to guide them.
It is shaping up to be a great year.  We have lots of fun planned.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me.

Yours in Scouting,
Dallas Eshelman, Cub Master
