Good afternoon Pack 95!
We have a few things for today. The first is that you will probably be getting 2 copies of this email. One from Scoutbook and another from our new newsletter server. Scoutbook is having issues sending to some people and they are not sure why. Since I want to make sure everyone gets all of the information we send out, I built a new system. Let me know if you are having any issues. Also, if there is anyone else who would like to get the newsletters, they can subscribe at http://p95mail.bryan-net.com

RSVP for is linked below. Please RSVP BY THE END OF THE DAY FRIDAY so that we can get a good count for purchasing food. For dinner we are hosting a taco bar this year. Cost is $5 a person for dinner, payable at the event. We will be providing all the food and sides. Once again we will have raffle baskets available. All Cubs will receive one ticket for the baskets. Additional tickets are available for $1 each for 25 tickets for $20. We are adding a few silent auction items this year. We currently have 3 items. An 8 person family tent, a river raft, and a mountain bike. If you have an item you would like to donate, let us know as we can give you a tax form for the donation.

Sunday February 19 10:30 AM - Scout Sunday - Benbrook United Methodist
The scouts will do a flag ceremony for the church and we would like to have everyone stay for the service if you can get away from your home church for a morning.

Saturday March 4th 5:30 PM - Benbrook Lions Club Chili Supper - Benbrook United Methodist Church Gym
This is a yearly event that the Pack and Troop have been helping with for many years. As the Lions Club is our chartered organization we would like for everyone that can attend to do so. I would love for the kids to be in their uniforms or pack t-shirts to show support for the Lions Club.

Sunday March 5th 2:30 PM - T/P95 Camping swap meet - Benbrook United Methodist parking lot.
We are going to try and do a swap meet this year in order to get camping and outdoor gear into the hands of families and scouts that can use it. Bring any gear you would like to donate and feel free to take any gear that is donated. Items you could bring are tents, sleeping bags, bikes, hammocks, etc. Anything that could be used outdoors. The event will last about an hour or so. I am looking for a local charity that we can donate any items that aren't taken so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. This is the first time we are attempting something like this so suggestions and feedback are welcome!

Saturday March 25th - Cowtown Cleanup - ZBoaz Park off of Winscott
More information to come, but we will scour the park for litter and clean it up for another year. This one is a bit different than the fall Trash Bash as we are the only group that will be out there so any and all help is needed.
--------------------------------------------
Friday March 31 to Sunday April 2nd - Spring Camp-out - Camp Wisdom
The Spring camp-out will be held March 31 - April 2 at Camp Wisdom Cub World in Dallas. The camp is located at 6400 W. Red Bird Lane Dallas, Texas 75236 just off I20, only a 30 minute drive from Benbrook. The area we are camping at is exclusively for Cub Scouts and includes a pirate ship, cave system, fort, and castle for them to enjoy. If you are unable to camp, please come out for the day. The Cubs had a blast here last year.

RSVP by March 27. Payment can be made via Venmo @Benbrook-Pack-95 or directly to your Den leader. If you are unable to pay by the deadline, please get with Mr Bryan as anyone that has not payed will be removed from the registration. RSVP at https://forms.gle/

That is everything for now. Thanks everyone for all you do to help your Cub Scout succeed. We would not be here if not for our families!
Thanks!
