Pack 37 Kickoff!

Pack Meeting

Friday, 9/5 will be our first Pack Meeting of the year!  We will start with registration for the new year at 6:30pm and the Pack Meeting will be at 7pm in the St. Peter Cafeteria. 

Please bring the annual registration forms that Kevin Ramirez sent out recently and a check for your registration.  We will have registration for the campout as well and we will be asking that you write a separate check for the camp out registration.

Popcorn

We will have announcements regarding our Popcorn sale at the Pack Meeting.  This year, as a Pack, we will be adopting a new policy in regards to how much each scout sells.  In order to make us stronger financially as a Pack, we will be requiring scouts to either sell popcorn or make a donation to the Pack.  This spreads the responsibility of fundraising to the entire pack. The requirements for sales are as follows:

1. Each scout will be required to either sell $175 in popcorn or make a $70 dollar donation to the pack.
2. If a family has two or more scouts in the pack, each scout in the family will be required to sell $90 in popcorn or make a $35 donation to the pack.
3. For Tiger scouts, we will require that the scout sells $90 in popcorn or makes a $35 donation to the pack.

There will be lots of opportunities to sell popcorn and Diane Marzigliano set up several site sales for the Pack, so we feel these are realistic goals that put us in alignment with the policy that Boy Scout Troop 37 follows.  Thank you for your understanding of the new policy and I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

  

December 6 Pack Meeting - our den is hosting!

 December 6 at 7:00pm at the St. Peter Cafeteria.  

Please, take note of the following details for the evening: 

• Arrive at 6:45 to help set up and practice the flags. 
• Bring 2 dozen home-baked cookies. In order to meet our "What's Cooking" requirement, please have your scout assist in baking 2 dozen cookies and bring them to share at the pack meeting. They don't have to be Christmassy - all cookies tastes great!

We will have a full night!  We are hoping to have the Arlington Heights Police K-9 Unit come and give us a demonstration that night.  Also, we will be doing a Christmas craft for the boys to bring to residents at the Lutheran Home the next day during caroling.  

Raingutter Regatta Rules & Info

Join us for the Pack 37 "America's Cup" on Friday, Nov. 8th

Registration: 6:45pm, Events: 7:00pm

Registration begins at 6:45pm - we would like to start the events promptly at 7pm as usual.  If you are able to arrive early to help set up it would be greatly appreciated.  Please note, the theme just serves as a guide on how to decorate your boat but not a requirement.  

Rules

1. Reshaping of the sail will be allowed (cup shaped design) and the scout is not required to use the mast.
2. You are not required to use the rudder and the keel 
3. Re-designing the hull will be allowed as long as the hull is not made longer or wider.
4. Catamaran styles are not allowed.   

Hints

• There are materials available to decorate your boat available at the Scout store, hobby stores and the ACE hardware store in Palatine on NW Hwy.

• In the event of a catastrophic design flaw, the boat style we use is being discontinued, but there may be a few available at the above mentioned store or if you call Mrs. Bertermann.
