This is your mostly weekly Pack 95 Newsletter. This will normally come out Sunday mornings but that depends on your Cubmaster remembering to schedule it.
Today is the swap meet. We hope to see you there! We have already collected new tents, a couple of bikes, a camping stove, a sleeping bag or two, and several other things that need new homes.
Upcoming Events
- March 4th - Camp Card sales begin
- Camp cards are a discount card that scouts can sell that give immediate access to discounts at Alberton’s/Tom Thumb, Tractor Supply, and Dicks Sporting Goods as well as other things. It also has a code for the Entertainment Book App for many local restaurants such as Lone Star Grill, Margie’s Italian, Cancun Mexican, and Zeke’s Fish and Chips. Scouts receive a credit of $3 to their account for each card sold. Signup for booth slots at http://tinyurl.com/2smnv9m5 The access code for signups is pack95.
- Sunday March 5th 2:30 PM - T/P95 Camping swap meet - Benbrook United Methodist parking lot off Bryant St
- 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, fishing gear, etc. Anything that could be used outdoors. Also any unused scout gear such as uniforms, hats, slides, or anything a scout might need.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! You DO NOT have to bring anything to take items. This is to get items to families and scouts that can use them.
