How to find Pack 564 at Sunday’s Scout Day at the Braves

braves smFrom Sports Coordinator George Hoffmaster:

This Sunday, Sept. 21, is NEGA Council Scout Day at the Braves.

If you have purchased tickets to this event from the Scout Store and plan to attend the game, it is scheduled to start at 1:35p. But, as many of you know, our scouts will have the opportunity to parade around the perimeter of the field before the game.

The Hank Aaron ramp at Turner Field is where all scouts are gathering to line up for the parade and I will be there no later than 11:30a.

When you arrive, please head up the Hank Aaron ramp and look for the Pack 564 sign that I will have so that our Pack can parade together.

If you have any difficulty locating our group, you are welcome to reach me by phone (please see the Facebook group or email for the number).

Fall family camping registration begins

Courtesy of Flickr user RichtptRegistration has opened for fall family camping, Oct. 24-26 at beautiful Stone Mountain Park.

This is one of the highlights of the year, so you won’t want to miss it.

In addition to all the regular camping fun, we are planning to offer some belt loop clinics and a pack campfire, as well as the traditional Saturday night pack meal. All scouts, siblings and parents are welcome to attend. The cost is $8 per person per night, plus $2 for Saturday evening dinner.

An online registration and payment system is coming (hopefully!), but for now, you’ll need to register and pay in person before or after the pack meeting tonight or the Oct. 14 pack meeting (the registration deadline is Oct. 15). Please look for the registration booth in the back of the pack meeting room.

Please bring a check made out to BSA Pack 564 for payment of fees.

If you have questions about registration, please use the contact form and choose “camping” in the “I need information about” field.

Please let your den leader know if you are new to camping and need information, advice or assistance with gear.

3, 2, 1 … Sell! Get all your popcorn info here!

2010_TrailsEnd Thanks for a great turnout at the kickoff. Now, get ready to sell! Visit our new popcorn page for all the details on the campaign, including key dates, frequently asked questions and resources such as selling tips, incentive details and forms. If you haven’t already, make sure you sign up for a shift at a military donation booth. Here are some other ways you can help boost sales:

  • Post an item on Facebook encouraging local friends and family to visit one of our booths to support the pack and our troops.
  • Set up an online sales account and send emails to out of town friends and family encouraging them to support your son’s scouting journey.  The Northeast Georgia Council has instructions.
  • Help your son sell by taking an order form to work.

Don’t forget, if your son sells $300 in popcorn and military donations, their pack dues will be taken care of for the year. Sell more, and your family can earn Cub Bucks to help offset the cost of pack activities such as Fall Family Camping and the Spring Trip. Plus, there are lots of great incentives the scouts can earn, as well!

Important update from Popcorn Chair Jeffrey Wilson

As you have heard we are doing Popcorn Sales differently this year.  I hope you will all make it to Monkey Joe’s on September 4th to learn what we are doing.

One of the things we are doing to help you reach your sales goal (which is set at an amount that will help you pay for scouting without having to pull a penny out of your pocket for pack events) is setup donation booths at the local Krogers.  Below is a link to a sign-up sheet.  We are asking every scout and a parent/guardian to work at least one 2 hour shift. with a limit of 2 scouts working each shift.

All the money raised during your 2 hour shift will be split between the scouts and credited on their sales forms to help you reach your sales goal.  The first weekend in September we have 4 locations.  That means 64 scouts can work the first weekend. ( Please do not sign up for two shifts on the first weekend.)  Those who work will have a better chance at winning something at the September Pack meeting (hint hint).

I am looking forward to a GREAT year of scouting.  And you can enjoy it WITHOUT paying a penny out of your pocket.  I’ll tell you how onSeptember 4th.
