Fall Leaf Cleanup at the Church, Nov 16th at 9.00am

On Saturday November 16th, we will be participating in our annual pack-wide Fall Leaf Clean-Up. This event serves as our way of expressing gratitude and giving back to the United Methodist Church for generously hosting our meetings at their facility.


Not only is this a fun time to bond with fellow Scouts, but it can also contribute to your scout's rank advancement if they need to fulfill community service requirements with their dens. 


And, as an added bonus, there will be Donuts and Coffee!

Time: 9.00am to 11.00am 

Location: United Methodist Church at 273 Vernon St, Wakefield, MA 01880

Pack 722 Fundraiser - Coming to a close November 8th! 

 

Our candy fundraiser is drawing to a close. We hope you all had successful sales, and there's still time to get out there and sell some final bars of chocolate! The fundraiser will officially end on November 8th, at which point all funds are due.  Please turn in your money in the form of cash, check, or Venmo to your Den Leader


Reminder there is a helpful handout that will guide you through the process:


In December, we will honor and recognize scouts who went above and beyond in their efforts! There will be fun awards at both the den and individual levels to celebrate outstanding achievements. We have some standard categories like "Most Sold" and "Rookie of the Year," but we're always open to creative ideas! Feel free to share any special stories/pictures with your den leader and nominate any exceptional scouts.

Thank you for your outstanding efforts in making this fundraiser a success!
