Popcorn Sheets

Hello Pack 722!

Just checking in on you and your popcorn selling. Popcorn take-order sheets are due to your den leaders next Sunday, October 25th.

Remember that we are only encouraging you to reach out to family and friends and not go door-to-door selling this year. The popcorn fundraiser is our largest fundraiser of the year. We use these funds to fuel our overnight camp-outs and other programs that we run in Pack 722.

Thanks,
The Kernel

Fishing - Postponed until 10/24



Due to the rain and brisk weather (not a good combination), we have decided to postpone our fishing day until Saturday 10/24.  We apologize if this causes any inconvenience, but tomorrow's weather was just not cooperating.

Dues due Thursday 10/15 and Fishing on Saturday 10/17

Just wanted to send out a few reminders for this week.



     The dues for the 2020-2021 year will be $155.00  This can be by check, cash or venmo (@pack722wakefield).  If you use Venmo, please make sure to write your Scout's name and Den Number in the description.  As in previous years, there is a discounted rate if you have additional children in the program, that rate will be $145.00.  This is up from previous years, due to the increases at the national level and because we have decided not to do show and sell popcorn sales.  The $155 is broken down into $87 for National fees, $30 for local council for the adventure card and $38 toward the Pack.  We are asking for all dues to be paid to your den leaders by October 15th.  If for some reason you are unable to pay, we do have scholarships available, please talk to your den lead or our committee chair (Jessica Belyea). 
     Just as a reminder, the adventure card gives free or discounted rates towards various scout and non-scout related activities - here is a link to the council page for reference: https://www.newenglandbasecamp.org/adventure-card/ .



     Come fish with us at Lake Q.  Kids under the age of 15 do not need a fishing license.  Saturday October 17th 7:30am-9am. Please dress for the weather, however if the scouts could wear their Class B uniforms or their scout hats that would be great.  Make sure to wear your masks.  Make sure to bring your own drinking water.

     Bring your fishing gear - if you have any extra, we may have some scouts who are in need to borrow it.  Please let us know.  Also, Walmart does have some cheaper poles for approx $10.  Wakefield also has a local store, Boats and Motors, on North Ave near the dinner.  A stick with string works as well!!!.  The Pack will be providing corn and worms for bait - however, feel free to bring what bait you like to fish with.

We will be spreading out around the lake.  Please see the picture below as to where each group will be.  Pack Leadership will be around to help you.

Bears - The Blue X

Wolf and AOL's - The Yellow X




Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Pack Outdoor & Fishing Weekend - Saturday October 17th

Typically every year at this time we are preparing for our annual Columbus weekend camping trip.  With the way life is at the moment - we did not feel that is possible.

So instead, we are recommending everyone use the weekend of October 16-18 as a Family Outdoor weekend.  Sleep in a tent in your yard (or maybe under a pillow fort in your living room).  Go for a Hike or a Bike Ride. 

OR......
