Cub scouts tonight
WooHoo !!
Tigers…
Hello Tiger Cub Parents. Tonight we will be taking a walk around church. We need to make sure all Tiger Cubs have their very last requirement to earn their Tiger Cub Badge! They’ll get them at the Blue and Gold celebration in June. So, please make sure boys are in sneakers and uniform shirts tonight. We’ll be having snacks and drinks outside after our “hike” so we can enjoy this beautiful weather. I need parents to come with us too, so don’t forget your walking shoes. 🙂
See you all tonight.

Hello Webelos parents! I am planning on launching the model rockets this Monday, 6PM, at Lincoln field. (Right across the street from our church). If the weather is bad or the winds are too strong, the launch will be canceled until next Monday, April 6th. All scouts are invited to come over and watch. Please bring a folding chair.
Food & Clothing Drive Results
Thank you everyone! After sorting, boxing and weighing the donations, I can honestly say I think we had great success with this food and clothing drive considering the short notice. Here are our total amounts and approximate weights. The apartment fire victims no longer needed clothes (other than socks and undergarments) so all clothing will be going to Purple Heart.
The totals for the fire victims is… food: 65 items weighing 54 pounds, kitchen/housewares: 3 sets of glasses and 7 other items weighing 15 pounds, toiletries: 43 items weighing 31 pounds, crafts: 7 items weighing 14 pounds, toys/instruments: 97 items weighing 62 pounds, books/DVDs/video games: 127 items weighing 52 pounds, towels/bedding: 21 items weighing 25 pounds, shoes: 43 pairs weighing 35 pounds, belts/hats/scarves/socks/undergarments: 118 items/pairs weighing 16 pounds. That’s a grand total of 304 pounds! We are delivering items to the apartment management company (M&M Management) tonight.
The clothing totals are as follows…men: 170 total items weighing 173 pounds, women: 172 items weighing 111 pounds, boys: 177 items weighing 75 pounds, girls: 18 items weighing 18 pounds, infants/toddlers: 63 items weighing 25 pounds and coats: 19 items weighing 23 pounds. That’s a grand total of 425 pounds of clothing!
Thank you everyone from Cub Scout Pack 155, Venturing Crew 1776, Boy Scout Troop 155 and Saints United Lutheran Church who donated their old belongings and their time to those in need.
Fire House Visit
Tiger, Wolf and Bear Parents don’t forget we have an additional meeting next week. We’ll meet Monday as usual, but we will also be meeting on Tues March 31, at 7pm at the FIRE HOUSE. It’s located next to Holmesburg branch library on Frankford Ave (19136). Please have your cubs in uniform.
Let’s help the NE fire victims
Hello Pack 155 families. As I’m sure most of you know by now, there was a devastating fire here in the Northeast. 53 families lost all their belongings. We are organizing a food/toiletry/clothing drive. We will be collecting non-perishable food items, socks, undergarments and shoes for men, women and children. We will also be collecting books (adult and children’s), small toys, they need toiletries(soap/shampoo/conditioner/etc). They do need some clothes as of now, mostly for men and women, they have received a lot of children’s clothes. If you have anything else you’d like to donate, please let me know and I’ll see if it’s needed. The children are mostly younger 4-7 and teenagers. Start your spring cleaning. Remember they have lost everything, so any little bit will help, thanks in advance! There will be a trailer to load any donations onto at Monday’s meeting (3/23/15).
**Whatever is donated that is not needed, we will be donating to Purple Heart and/or Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Any questions please email me Stracey@cubscoutpack1776.org
