It’s time once again for the leaders to band together (picture at right are some of them–you know which ones you are), eat some sandwiches and plan the 2009-2010 calendar. And if you would like to be a leader, you are more than welcome to attend as well. The more the merrier.

If you did not get an Evite, please email me (mikemenn13@yahoo.com) ASAP so we can get a good headcount. Also, please write if you have anything you want on the agenda.

Pack 1776 will participate in this event and we hope you and your entire family can come out.  Look for the Den 11 flag (bright blue flag on a cross-T) somewhere in the throngs of people there. All scouts should wear their Class A’s. No Class B’s for this very serious and somber event. Below is the event info from the district:

—————————————————-

Scouts from all over the Atlanta area will join together to pay tribute to fallen soldiers at the Marietta National Cemetery on Saturday, May 23, 2009.
Uniformed scouts will be given flags to place at each grave; they will then step back and salute the flag and the grave. Each scout who participates will receive a community service patch, provided by the National Memorial Day Association of Georgia.

Registration begins at 8:00 am at the cemetery entrance, located at 500 Washington Ave., Marietta, GA. A brief program will begin at 8:30 am and concludes with the placement of the flags. There is no registration fee. Parking is available at the Cobb County Main Library, which is across the street from the cemetery. (Map Link: http://tinyurl.com/pps6a2)

All scouts, including girl scouts, are invited to participate.

Our next (and last) pack activity for the 2008-2009 is the glorious and wonderful Cross-Over Picnic. This year it will be held at Terrill Mill Park on Saturday, May 13 beginning at 4:30 pm. There will be food and fun and we’ll advance or young cubs up a level when they “cross over” on the bridge.

Bring water, chairs, sunscreen, cameras, etc. and have your cubs wear their Class A uniforms.
