Cub Scout Pack 564 - Lilburn, GA
Preparing young boys and girls to become responsible, participating citizens, and leaders.
Your son got his Pinewood Derby car at Tuesday night’s pack meeting. Now what?
Your first stop should be the new Pack 564 Pinewood Derby web page, which is chock full of helpful information, including rules, links to resources such as the sign-in inspection sheet, and lots more.
The pack derby is scheduled to start with Tiger division races at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 24, with check-in the night before from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Registration is now open for the Spring Trip, and we’ve made it easier than ever before to sign up and settle up with online registration and payment!
All it takes is three easy steps:
1. Go to the Spring Trip page and click on the “Register now for the spring trip!” banner at the top of the page.
2. Fill out the form. Don’t forget to enter a valid Cub Bucks amount if you want to use them for this trip (log in to TroopTrack to check your son’s money account before registering).
3. Choose your payment method (you can select from credit card/PayPal, cash or check) and complete your transaction. If you’re paying the full balance with Cub Bucks, you don’t need to do anything. If you’re paying with cash or check, just bring your payment into the December or January pack meetings. If you are paying by credit card or PayPal, you’ll be taken automatically to the PayPal website to complete payment. You do not have to create a PayPal account to use this option. Also note that your PayPal receipt will come from Nathan Stephens, who is the pack treasurer. You’ll also receive a confirmation email with details of your registration.
That’s it! You’re ready to blast off with the pack at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center!
You can also register in person (using these same online forms) through the January pack meeting. Online registration will continue through the end of January.
If you have questions, please contact Spring Trip Coordinator Christine Pearson.
