Join Scout Night

We had our Pack's Join Scout Night last night and boy did we have a turn-out! This event is for brand-new boys, not boys already registered with the Pack and we had 30+ boys show up last night. If most of them sign up that would put our Pack at between 55-65 boys. Half of the new boys would be Tigers (1st graders, the level I'm helping with this year until they get established)! That is not counting the 3 already signed up, so we're looking at almost 20 boys.

At the moment they would have to be 1 den, but if we can find some strong leadership with the parents of these boys, our goal is to divide them into 2 dens (a more manageable #). I found that I need to review my Tiger stuff...I had a few problems remembering what was in the Tiger book (I forgot to bring mine), I haven't had to study it in 5 yrs, when my Oldest went through. I had the Webelos book practically memorized last year.

Anyway it looks to be a great Scouting year. I'm glad there is so much interest in the Scouting program (boys and girls) since I believe it is one of the best programs out there for children to be a part of. I was a Girl Scout growing up and it has made me a more confident person.
