Reminder: Pack Meeting May 20, 7PM

2010-05-12T23:00:00.000-04:00

Just a friendly reminder that our last Pack meeting of the 2009-2010 Scouting year will be held on Thursday, May 20th at 7PM. Please be sure to attend as the Scouts will be crossing over and there will be a lot of information shared regarding activities taking place over the summer. Lots of exciting stuff!!!

Reminder: Scouting for Food

2010-05-06T11:10:00.000-04:00

This is just a friendly reminder about the Scouting for Food program May 6-8 (non-perishable items only please). Remember you can hand out your flyers/bags to your neighbors and friends today and tomorrow (May 6 and 7). It may be best to hand the bags to them personally, but you can also leave them in the mailbox or on the door. The people should have the food in the bags and ready for pickup by 9am Saturday morning (May 8). This gives the scouts and parents some flexibility on Saturday to pick up the food bags between 9am and noon. Please drop your collections off at the church between noon and 1pm on Saturday. I believe the food bags will be weighed and the scout that collects the most food will get a prize at the next pack meeting.

Good luck and be safe!

REMINDER: Kalamazoo Holiday Parade this Saturday (Nov 14th)!!!

2009-11-13T05:06:00.000-05:00

This is a reminder that the Pack 294 Cub Scouts can participate in the Kalamazoo Holiday Parade this Saturday in downtown Kalamazoo. The parade starts at 11am. We are position number 77 (out of 108). Since they close the streets at 10:45am, I would probably get there by 10:30am to be safe. We meet in the Pfizer parking lot on the corner of Portage and Lovell Street. For parking, there are some parking lots between Portage and Pitcher and also down on Pitcher. For parade lineup, there is usually a table setup at the entrance to the parking lot. The people there can instruct you where to go. The scouts from the various packs usually all walk together.
The parade route makes a big square in downtown Kalamazoo. We go from Lovell to Park Street to Michigan Avenue to Pitcher and back to the Pfizer parking lot on Lovell. The parade usually takes about an hour. Here is a link to the parade information:
