-We are trying to have as many of our parents as possible Youth Protection Trained. Council is going to make this a requirement (if they haven’t already). It used to be only for adults that were registered, but now it is for all adults that are around scouts in general. Therefore, I would like our pack to start the training now, so we are fully ready. It does not take long at all and most of it is just common sense. Should you have any questions or concerns on this, please feel free to contact me. Right now, with only few adults trained, we have to make sure that there are so many trained adults around for meetings and outings per a certain number of children and can limit activities. This will help us when we are planning to know we have enough trained adults. With this training that we are asking you to take, there is nothing more that you will be asked to do during our meetings / outings, etc. It just covers us as a pack. Once you complete the training, please email me a copy of the Certificate of Completion. It is a self-paced course and helps protect our children. The steps are below on how to take the course. Thank you again for your continued support.

***CONGRATS*** We achieved our goal of new scouts.

We do currently have Meat Sticks available as a fundraiser. They are $1.50ea and your scout will get part of the profit in their scout account.
-
Meetings will be every Wednesday from 6:30pm – 7:30pm at the Sanborn Firehall and parents are required to stay. We will ask that all electronics are put away by the start of our meeting so your scout can focus on the meeting. We will follow the Niagara Wheatfield School District calendar. If Niagara Wheatfield does not have school, then there will not be a meeting. Our preliminary calendar for the year is posted on our website.
-
We have a sign-up sheet for snacks for our den meetings and we ask for you to sign up to bring a snack for the pack to enjoy at the end of our meeting. We will notify you if we have any food allergies.
-
Please make sure that you have signed the photo release form for this year and turned it in to Carol as well as the health form and parent survey.
-
A reminder will go on Monday nights with any additional announcements for that week’s meeting (As well as posted on our website and Facebook)
-
We will have a monthly calendar and announcement sheet that will be printed out for you to grab at the den meetings if you prefer paper reminders (also will be posted on our website and Facebook)
-
The calendar on our website is different than last year (I personally think it is better). Now when you see a dot on a date, that means there is something on the calendar (it could be meetings, outings, or a holiday). Click on the date and it will display the event as well as details. You can also choose to click a button to add it to your Google or iCal Calendar. There is also an option to view the location of the event in google maps if it is an outing.
