Cub Scout Day Camp Planning Session

Director: Cub Master Pack 779

Date – March 20, 2008
Time – 7:30 pm
Location – Coats Baptist Church Fellowship Hall

As with everything, it takes us all to make it successful.

Scoutmasters you have a very vested interest in offering your time and experience as well. If the cub scouts do not stay interested in the program, your troop’s growth becomes very limited. You may not be able to provide time to staff it, but you may hear of something they need that you could help provide.

Wayne is working hard already to make this the biggest one yet, and I believe if we get behind him with our support it easily can be the best.

If you are interested in helping, but can’t attend please contact Wayne for more information.
