Good evening Pack 1862!
I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer. It’s hard to believe that August is about to begin! Please see below for important info on new BSA membership renewal procedures and our upcoming events. We hope to see you there!
New BSA Renewal Procedures
In past years our Pack has collected National/Council BSA fees as part of our Pack dues. Starting this year, BSA will be collecting National/Council dues directly. About 2 months before your membership expires you will receive an email from BSA with details on how to renew your registration. Please make sure to renew before your membership expires, so that you stay connected to our Pack in Scoutbook! Financial assistance is available (visit https://247scouting.com/forms/082-FinancialSupport for more info).
With this change, our Pack will only collect Pack dues of $115 ($95 for siblings) directly in September.
Fishing Outing Saturday August 3, 9 AM Burke Lake Park
Join us on the dock at Burke Lake Park for a morning of fishing. Bring a rod and a friend so they can get a taste of scouting fun! We will have a few extra rods and bait to share. Adults, if you plan to fish you will need a Virginia freshwater fishing license. Kids under 16 do not need a license.
Welcome Back Hike, Saturday August 24, 8:30 AM, Conway Robinson State Forest
It’s time for our Back to School (and Scouting!) hike. This year, we will meet at Conway Robinson State Forest, and scouts will have the option of a 1 mile or 3 mile hike with friends. Pack your 6 essentials, and get ready to enjoy donuts and a fun hike!
Pack Meeting and Join Scouting Night, Friday September 6, 6:30 PM, Cub Run ES Cafeteria
Join us for snow cones and fun scout-themed activities to kick off the new year! Bring a friend who’s interested in Scouts, and show them what it’s all about!
Hope to see everyone soon!
Kristin
