Back to Pack Fishing Event - Saturday, August 22nd, 10am-12pm

posted Aug 15, 2020, 4:30 PM by Cub Master

Dear Parents,

Join Pack 129 for a Back to Pack Fishing Event on Saturday, August 22nd from 10am until 12pm at the Scout Hut (4217 N Park Drive, Tucker).  Our very own Cubmaster Morgan will teach our Scouts some fishing skills in the Scout Hut backyard, and then we'll walk over to the Kelly Cofer lake to test out our new skills.  Please bring a fishing pole, if you have one.  We will provide bait and will have extra fishing poles available.  Masks are encouraged and we will social distance.  

During the event, you'll also have an opportunity to register for the fall Scouting year.  Dues for returning scouts are $125 for the 2020-2021 scouting year and include the BSA registration fee, advancements (belt loops and pins), Raingutter Regatta kits, Pinewood Derby kits and event, and a t-shirt for the Scout.  The annual dues do NOT include the cost of the scout book, uniform, camping trip, overnight trip, and any additional costs for adults in the Lion den.

You can pay your dues electronically before the event to save time using one of the payment methods below.  Make sure you include your Scout's name and den (e.g., K-Lion, 1st-Tiger, 2nd-Wolf, 3rd-Bear, 4th-Webelos 1, 5th-Webelos 2) in the comments/notes section when submitting your payment.
