• Baloo Training (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation) - Date is September 28th, Saturday, at Camp Sam Hatcher from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm. Someone from each pack is required to take the Baloo course in order to camp out as a pack.
• Leader Books - The pack will purchase needed books for the leaders, 1 per family. Approximate cost is $300 for Leader books, Program helps, and possibly how to books.
• Popcorn sales - Popcorn sales officially started September 1st!! Get your boys out there selling! Many neighborhoods are already done, many have not been done. We will award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd top sellers of pack scout bucks $60, $45, and $30. Encourage them to sell popcorn, but also mention the buyout of $40 per family. Popcorn sales for the pack ends October 17th. All order forms and any collected monies should be turned in to leaders or popcorn chairman. Checks are made payable to pack 460. The popcorn should be in by November 8th, Friday. We will need help from a few to pick up the popcorn.

  • Our event at activity time - One was chosen for us at the campout meetings, but Scott has an idea for one if this one doesn't work out.
  • Meals - Do we have the dens cook for themselves? It was decided to continue to cook meals by ranks like last year, otherwise everyone would be busy cooking 3 times a day. It will be $10 per family due by October 8th leader's meeting and this is payable to the pack. We need head counts of those attending so we can purchase enough food.
  • Cooking - Breakfast will be done by wolves. Lunch will be done by Tigers and Bears. Dinner will be done by Webelos.
