Cub Scouts Page 6 Greetings from Pack 19. We have opened our new year with many new faces due to in school recruiting. September kicked off with our annual campout at Wells Lake and the Janet Huckabee Nature Center. This close to town campout gives new scout families the chance to experience camping while still having access to conveniences. The highlight of this trip is the Coke bottle fishing derby. Scouts use a bottle and fishing line as their tackle instead of a pole. Sept 17 was the kickoff date for annual popcorn sales. Scouts sell Trails End popcorn to help support the Scouting program. 73% of the proceeds goes back into Scouting. Sept 21 was our first ever "Show and Sell" at Quick Discounts on Jenny Lind. Scouts had popcorn products on hand for customers to purchase or make donations to send popcorn to American service people overseas. The month wrapped up with the "Webelos Woods" campout. This campout is for Webelos and Arrow of Light ranked scouts. Scouts camp away from parents (but with lots of supervision) to give them an idea of what it will be like when they move to a Scouts BSA troop. If you know an interested child please invite them to come visit Pack 19. Yours in Scouting’s Best, Justin Cates Wesley UMC Newsletter October 2019
