Support a Cub Scout, get a treat for yourself!

The lessons learned in Cub Scouts may be priceless, but the cost of delivering a year of fun-filled and character-building activities is downright expensive. That’s why Pack 564 is asking you to support our efforts by contributing to our annual fundraiser.

You can contribute in one of two ways:

  • Purchase delicious popcorn from one of our scouts. Many will be going door-to-door the next few months requesting your support. If you don’t have a scout in your neighborhood, feel free to contact us and we’ll put you in touch with someone.
  • Donate money at our popcorn-for-troops fundraisers at area Krogers and other locations. Check our Facebook page for this weekend’s locations!

Your support will help provide a year’s worth of fun and character-building experiences for more than 100 Lilburn-area boys.

Thanks!

Popcorn sales, pickup info

 

free-snacks-cartoon-business-vector-character_fJJyG1_d_LDen leaders will be picking up popcorn orders next weekend (Nov. 14) from Lance Wallace. Please contact your den leader for instructions on receiving your Scout’s order.

At the November pack meeting, prizes will be awarded to the top overall and top door-to-door seller, Lance Wallace and perhaps other leaders will get a pie or two to the face from the top sellers, and all scouts who met minimum sales goals will be entered into a raffle for the grand prize, a tablet computer.

You’ll also hear how we did overall this year compared to last year.

What’s coming up at Tuesday’s pack meeting

  • Lad and Dad Cake Bake entries must be registered between 6:30 and 7. Entry fee is a bag of canned goods for the Lilburn Co-op. Results will be announced at the end of the meeting. For details on the competition, see the Cake Bake page.
  • Spring Trip Coordinator Christine Pearson will reveal details about where we’re going and what we’re doing.
  • Popcorn Chairman Jeff Wilson will give us our final update on sales, and he’ll get a pie in the face from several scouts.
  • Registration will open for December’s holiday party, and continue for Pack Night at the Gladiators.
  • Finally, we’ll take a moment to reflect on citizenship, and to thank our veterans for their service.

What’s happening at the October pack meeting

Due to a scheduling conflict, we’ll be meeting in the Camp Creek Elementary School cafeteria instead of at Mountain Park United Methodist Church. The meeting time remains 7 p.m.

This meeting will be your last opportunity to sign up for fall family camping, so make sure to reserve a campsite for your family at the registration table at the pack of the meeting room! If you haven’t paid your fees for camping, please remember to bring a check payable to BSA Pack 564!

The pack is planning a variety of activities, including opportunities to earn belt loops and a  pack dinner and campfire. Volunteers are needed to run belt loop sessions. Please contact Cubmaster Lance Wallace if you’d like to help.

You’ll also be able to sign up to attend the Pack Night at the Gwinnett Gladiators on Jan. 10.

And den leaders will be choosing a neighborhood to distribute Harvest for the Hungry food collection bags on Nov. 1, with pickup one week later.

Finally, don’t forget to bring your popcorn forms and money! We’ll be tallying up sales since the last pack meeting and raffling off more prizes.

One last weekend for military donation booths!

Silver Level Military DonationJust two shifts remain for the final weekend of military donation booths at the Rockbridge Kroger! Last weekend, scouts raised more than $2,300 in donations, according to Popcorn Chairman Jeff Wilson.

If you haven’t yet worked a shift, head over to the signup page pronto to claim one! If all slots are filled by the time you get there, Jeff asks that you get in touch with him to see if there’s anything he can do.
