Philly Cub Scouts
I hope everyone had a great Holiday Season and are having a fantastic start to the New Year. Den meetings for the Tigers, Wolves, Bears, and Weblos resume tonight at 7pm. I plan on having a short meeting with parents to discuss the next few months of scouting. Please feel free to bring any ideas with you.
Looking forward to seeing you all this evening.
We wanted to wish everyone in pack 1776 and their families a safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday January 7th.
Just a reminder that Monday, December 17, is our annual Potluck Christmas Party which will begin at 6:30 PM. We have lots of fun and games planned for the scouts.
Thank you to those who have signed up to bring a dish, snacks or other items. We are still looking for additional dishes, side dishes, or appetizers for the party. We are good in the snacks area. Just be sure to let us know what you plan to bring by sending an email to dgriess@cubscoutpack1776.org
We ask that everyone not assisting with setup arrive after 6:30. Those who are assisting should try to arrive around 5:00. We will have an hour and a half to get everything set up so the more help the merrier.
We look forward to seeing everyone next week!

This Saturday, Nov 17th, we will be meeting at the Gym at 9:30am to pick up donations for our annual Scouting for Food Drive. WE NEED DRIVERS, anyone with a vehicle who is able to drive to speed up the pick up process is much appreciated.
Scouting For Food is one of nation’s largest food drives that Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturing Crew members participate in to support their local Food Pantries and Hunger Relief agencies. The Scouts of the Cradle of Liberty Council have continuously exceeded expectations and fully stocked dozens of our partner agencies with bags of canned food.
Everyone will be divided into groups with multiple adults per group and we will go out and pick up the donations within our given area.
The time accumulated this weekend will count as community service for the scouts and maximum participation may help us qualify for the Messengers of Peace award.
Our pack meeting that was originally planned for Saturday at 5pm has been RESCHEDULED for Monday, December 3rd.
Scouts who have participated in Scouting Food are welcome to join us for a lock in at the church. The lock-in will start at 7pm and is $5 per person which includes pizza, drinks, and a small breakfast in the morning.
