Volunteers Needed

The Christmas Tree recycle is approaching quickly and the Pack needs help operating our stand at Office Depot. The dates that we need volunteers are Dec. 30,31, Jan1,7 and 8. This is our main fundraising effort for the year. The money collected over these two weekends pays for most of the food activities and badges and keeps the cost of Cub Scouts low so that we can continue to offer this inexpensive fun. Please contact Peter or your Den leader. petermacbooth@gmail.com
We also need some parents to help out in the kitchen at the Blue and Gold Dinner, February 2nd at Candalaria. Basically we need some ovens to heat up lasagnas that will be served at the dinner. Contact Peter if you are able to do this.
The January 13th Pack Meeting is Career Night at the school. We will have professionals from a variety of different fields to speak with the scouts. This is also the deadline to sign up for the Albany Lock In and the Winterhawks game.
The Lock-In is Feb. 10th and 11th, $20 per scout $15 per adult.
The Winterhawks game is Feb. 24th, $9 per scout $13 per adult.

500 Lbs!

The Pack 31 Food Drive was a huge success this year as our pack brought in 500lbs of non perishable food to the Marion/Polk Food Share. If you imagine that a person can eat about a pound of food in one day, our morning effort fed 3 meals to 500 people. Nice job to all the scouts, you should be very proud. We also collected about $50 in cash donations.

The next Pack Meeting is Thursday December 8th at 6p at the Mission Mill. We are doing tree decorations made out of recycled materials. Each den is responsible for one type of decoration to be made by the entire pack. On December 10th is a Tree Decoration Party at the Mill where 7 different Cub Scout Packs will put the ornaments on their trees. This will be at 11am.

Food Drive Saturday

We are meeting at Candalaria at 10am for the Cub Scout Food Drive. From there you will go with your dens to collect food from a neighborhood. Please bring wagons and paper or plastic bags for collecting food. It's supposed to be sunny but it may be cold so dress warm.

There are also more photos of recent and older events posted in the photo section of this site check them out.

The December Pack Meeting has been moved to the 8th at 6:00 PM at the Mill. It will be a Tree Decoration Event, each den will bring a tree ornament decoration idea made out of re-cycled material (have one parent in charge of your den’s decoration project while the boys go from table to table).
Remember, the tree will be outside, so make sure it is water resistant.
