First Pack Meeting

On Thursday night we had our first pack meeting of the school year. In addition to officially kicking off our annual popcorn sale, we were visited by Gary the Traveling Reptile Guy (not his official title). He was an interesting character that showed us all his rare COLLECTION of reptiles that he has rescued from pet owners over the years. There was the Bearded Dragon, the rare Sail Finned Iguana, several snakes of all sizes including a 10 foot albino boa constrictor and my favorite the Black and White Jaguar something-another. He also gave parents some advise about which critters NOT to buy for our young Scouts and which ones we should consider. He sure wound up the boys, who could barely stay in their seats. Next month we have the Rain Gutter Regatta which was a lot of fun last year. Each of you should have received your boat kits at the meeting and you all have a month to complete them. I will send out reminder as we get closer to the meeting. This week we are meeting at Frank Elementary School at our normal time. Each of the boys should be bringing in an example of a collection that they have. We are also going to create a den cheer so, if you and/or your sons have any ideas please bring them to share with the den.
