Pack 722 Prepares for the 2027 year!
(and see the bottom of the newsletter for Sept Kick off dates)
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to complete our Pack Planning Survey. Your feedback helps shape the adventures, meetings, and experiences we create for our Scouts.
Our planning group met at the end of June to review responses and start prepping for the 2027 Scout year. We'll share the full plan at our September Kickoff, but here are a few early highlights:
Pack Meetings: Families told us they're working well! We're exploring new ways to make announcements more engaging for Scouts, while spending more time on activities, speakers, and the fun parts of the meeting.
Trips & Camping: You love getting out and exploring, so expect more of it! We'll continue planning exciting adventures and look for opportunities to expand our camping program.
Communication: The emails, website, and in-person updates are working well. We're also planning to make information easier to access during Pack meetings by adding QR codes, quick links, and event information at the back of the room.
Thank you for helping make Pack 722 even better.
