On behalf of your sons, I would like to thank each of you for introducing them to scouting. The Boy Scouts of America is a wonderful organization. I grew up in Scouts; and, I owe a lot of who I am to the experiences I had during those years. If it weren't for my dad and mom's involvement, it would not have been the same.
I looked over the paperwork we were handed the other night and realized that it's hard not to be overwhelmed. There is a lot of stuff to go through; and I already have a packed schedule with work, family, etc... If it were not for the experiences that I had as a boy, it would be hard for me to commit to such an organization. The truth is that the best experiences that I had with my dad came from Scouting, and I want that for my son and I as well!
More than likely I will make some mistakes, and may even frustrate you once or twice; but, I promise to, "DO MY BEST". Maybe some of the old stuff will come back to me and we may just have some fun. I know the boys will!
Uniform Information
Here is a list of the items the pack requires that each boy have:

Uniform Information
Here is a list of the items the pack requires that each boy have:
Blue Cub Scout Uniform $22.99
Tiger Cub Neckerchief $4.99
TC Slide $2.99
Erie Shores Council Patch $3.40
Troop Number 209 Patches 3 x $1.19
World Scout Crest $1.49
TOTAL = $39.43
These are the prices I saw at Woodville Surplus on Woodville Rd.; however, all Scouts do get a 10% discount. You can also get them at the Toledo Scout Shop in downtown Toledo, or The Scout Shop in Findlay off of I-75.
My wife (mom of 4 & bargain hunter) did a little online research and found some sites that sell gently used scout uniforms for much less. If you are still in need of a uniform, and would like to save a few bucks, send her an email (gopjamey@bex.net) and she'll be happy to assist!
See you this Thursday at our first pack meeting.
