Featured Event 1: Monday April 13th will be Snake Night!!! We'll meet with the Troop at 7 PM. Please invite any friends you think would like to try out scouting, as this can be a recruiting event.

Featured Event 2: The next Parent Planning Meeting is Tuesday April 7th at 6:00 PM at BUMC and if you'd like, you can stay for the Troop Committee Meeting immediately following at 6:30 PM.

Featured Need: We need more parents/adults (especially adults of younger scouts) to be BALOO trained. This is a training from Scouting America, and it is required that at least 1 (preferably 2) BALOO trained leaders be at every pack campout (or we can't camp). There is an upcoming training at Camp Holland on March 21-22, then again on May 2-3. There are options as well next October 11-12 at Hills and Hollows Scout Camp and November 7-8, either in Flowermound or at Camp Tahuaya in Belton. We currently only have two in the pack who have completed this training and one of our BALOO trained adults will bridge out next February.

We're glad that you're part of Cub Scout Pack 95! Below, you'll find some information about upcoming events and please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Any Questions, Please email Jared Abraham at [email protected]. Replying to this email will not work.

Ways to Get Involved

Parent Meetings will be held on the first Tuesday of each month, at 6:00 PM at BUMC.

• Parent meetings are open to all parents of scouts or other adults interested in helping at in Pack 95.
• At these meetings, we plan for the upcoming month's events and we would love to have everyone's input!
• We also just need additional help, as several of our most active adults have older scouts and will be moving to the Troop in the next year or two.
• The next Parent meeting will be held on Tuesday 4/5 at 6:00 PM at BUMC.

Please join us as a leader! We need adults to step into the following leadership positions:

• Pack Committee Members - This is the easiest entry point to helping out the pack, and it only involves coming to our monthly Parent Meetings and giving your input, as we plan upcoming events. Starting here is great and likely the best option! The parent meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month, at 6:00 PM. I'll look forward to seeing you there 😉!
• Den Leaders are needed in the younger den areas (Lions, Tigers, Wolves). Currently, they are meeting together, but as they grow, we'll want to think about splitting them up, to not overwhelm our current den leader, make them inviting for new scouts, and be able to have each scout have activities intended solely for their level. If interested in helping out with the leadership of these dens, let's talk!
• Pack Fundraising Coordinator/Popcorn Kernel - The purpose of fundraising in Pack 95 is to give scouts the opportunity to pay their own way in scouting, giving ways by which pack dues can be covered besides just paying them directly (which is also ok). In the past our main fundraisers have been to sell poinsettias and wreaths before Christmas and then to sell Lillies before Easter. We're open to other options though, such as joining the Scouting America Popcorn sales; there are very good opportunities with this, but we need someone who is willing to help with that.
• Committee Chair - Our current committee chair's cub scout will bridge to the troop in February, so we need both need to thank Mrs. Lasiter and replace her. The committee chair's role is to lead the monthly parent meetings and oversee the planning of future events. This person would be part of the Key 3, a co-equal leader in the pack with the Pack Master (Mr. Abraham) and the Charter Organization Representative (Mr. Switlik). Impress your friends and family by referring to yourself as one-third of the Key 3 in Pack 95 🤣
