Scout Time = Family Time

School, sports, work, church, and everything else has started back up and it is very easy to lose control!  You have probably got at least three different calendars with dates you need to combine and work on transportation for the whole family. 

This is why we as a pack decided to delay scouts until after Labor Day.  Don't get me wrong, we will have a calendar for you too!  But try to think of your scouting time as more of family time. 

Our Pack events are family events, so use these as time away from the craziness to just enjoy your kids.  We encourage you to bring the whole family on campouts. 

Meeting are a great time for some one on one with your son.  I know with three kids . . . we love this opportunity to focus on one boy and what he wants to do. 

Now it can be very hard to walk away from the office and leave the stress there; and that pile of laundry is not getting any smaller; and at some point you need to throw food at these kids . . . and the list goes on and on.  So take a deep breath, walk away, and go to scouts for an hour to have some fun! 

First meetings are 9/10, at Twin Ridge, starting at 6:30 pm.  This is your information meeting, ask the questions you need to, and volunteer!!  Your son will be so excited to have mom/dad help out and lead one meeting, assist with a craft, or even bring snack.
