Annual crossing-over ceremony for all boys to the next rank, at a great location this year - Loma Vista Island at Contra Loma Park.  Entrance fee to the park is $5 per vehicle.  Good food, fun games, and activities are planned!  Don't miss it!

Do you have uniform, pieces that you no longer need or do not fit?

At Crossover there will be a uniform collection & swap. 

The pack will be collecting the following items:

Do you know the story of Davy Crockett?  How about Daniel Boone?  Ever seen a buffalo chip?  Frontier Days is the theme for 2012!  Step into the past and travel across the plains with pioneer games, songs, buildin’ projects, folklore and book learnin’.

At our recent planning meeting, Pack Leadership voted for an increase in dues this coming year to better cover our expenses and maintain reserve funds.  $97 for Cub Scouts and $71 for Webelos 2's who will be crossing over into Boy Scouts in February/March of 2013.  We hope this will bring less pressure on our fundraising efforts next year, as well.  Even with this increase, Cub Scouting remains a great value as a year-round program, as compaired to many sports programs. Payments are due August 1st, but you may pay early to avoid back-to-school expenses around the same time of year.  Payments are now accepted via PayPal, and may be submitted using the Annual Membership link on the menu on the left of your screen. 

It is this time of year that we bring attention to Friends of Scouting (FOS).  You should have received a letter from the Cubmaster this week.  If you haven't already, please return your commitment card.  Even if you are not able to give at this time, we need your card back to avoid a solicitation call later in the year from the Council.  You can turn it in to your Den Leader, or mail it directly to the Council office.  You may also donate directly at www.bsa-mdsc.org/donate .  If your company offers matching funds, please consider including that option.  Learn more about FOS...
