October - Books, Costumes, Popcorn and Pumpkins!

OCTOBER - Fall is upon us (although you wouldn't believe it by the weather!). This month's theme is "Adventures in Books". Time to take a trip down to the local library and check out a few books. If your scout does not yet have his own library card, now is the time to get him one!

Our October Pack meeting will be full of fun. We are having a costume contest, so be sure to wear your costume! We will also be holding our "Pumpkin Auction". Bring your decorated or carved pumpkin and we will auction it off to the highest bidder. This is a fun, great fundraiser for our Pack, and ALL of the money stays right here. If you bring the ugliest pumpkin, you might even get to see it smashed to smithereens! See you there on October 27th at 7 pm.

Popcorn sales continue through the end of October. Keep up the selling! This is our BIG fundraiser for the year. Volunteers do all the work, but supplies, awards and events need to be paid for. And remember, your scouts can earn prizes or gift cards for selling.
