In two weeks we will have our second summer pack activity, our 2013 BounceU Summer Get Together. We will be meeting up at the BounceU in Langhorne for a couple hours of fun bouncing all over the place, some pizza and drinks as well. You can find the full details at http://cubpack155.org/x/5a .
This is our only Summer Time Pack Activity for July, towards the National Summertime Award, because of all the Summer Day Camps and Summer Resident Camps going on this month. So now is the time to get us your headcount. We need a headcount for how many will be bouncing and how many not bouncing that plans on eating some pizza.
The cost is $11 per child. Adults don’t pay unless they plan on bouncing and/or eating, in which case it is $11 for both or $3 for just the food.
It should be a fun time for all.
Please send an email to with your headcount. We need your headcount by Monday July 22nd in order to give BounceU a number to expect. Please be sure to get yourself added to the count.
We will also need to collect payments. They can be collected at the event, however we must have them paid before we start. Tom and Tim will be there approximately 30m before the event to collect any payments due.
One more important note: IF YOU ARE BOUNCING YOU MUST WEAR SOCKS! PLEASE BRING CLEAN SOCKS TO BOUNCE
Hey Tom! If I go who should I give the payment to or mail it too? I will let you know if I am going or not ASAP! would love to join you guys! 🙂
I absolutely LOVE how the pack gets together in the summer. It’s great for maintaining continuity and it gives the kids one more thing to do that they probably never would have done, were it not for Scouting!
Corey, we will be updating the post shortly with payment details. Just let us know as soon as possible if you are going to come along.
Gene, we make sure to provide atleast one activity per month over the summer. Sometimes we we’ll do 2 in June/August, always just one in July due to camps.
This not only ensures we have a year round program but it keeps the scouts involved and gives then the opportunity to earn the national summertime activity award each year.
It also helps earn the quality unit award. We earned the gold quality unit award for 2012 and hope to have gold again for 2013.
That’s great! I was the Cubmaster of 155 a few years back, and could never get quite enough support form the parents for that idea. Summer camp was about all we could get together for. Sounds like you have a good group. Best of luck!
We had trials ourselves. We simply took the “If you build it, they will come.” mentality and figured if people show, fantastic! If nobody shows, we still have a quality time with our own kids making it a win/win eiither way.
Ok Tom, great! I will let you know ASAP if I’m going to attend! 🙂
