Upcoming Pack 722 Events

Hello Pack 722,

This coming Friday, December 16th at 6:30PM at the Wakefield-Lynnfield Methodist Church is our December Pack Meeting.  This meeting, we recognize our top fundraisers from the fall candy sales in our Pie-a-Palooza event where each den's top seller gets to "pie" a pack leader, parent, or sibling.  Here are the top sellers :

BY RANK:

Tiger - Ian Lander

Wolf - Brady Rafael

Bear - Alex Theisen

Webelos - Nicholas Nou & Trent Savage

AOL Den 5 - Sylvan Sheau

AOL Den 8 - Christian Guild

AOL Den 14 - Leah Ellis

TOP THREE SCOUTS: Matty Belyea (Overall Winner), Ian Lander, Alex Theisen

TOP DEN: AOL Den 8

One of our top three sellers will also get to have a pie thrown in their face - to be drawn at the meeting.  We do ask that everyone throwing a pie at the pack meeting give their pie-recipient fair warning so they can come prepared.  For all of you new to the Pack this year, Pack 722 has a tradition of using whipped cream with chocolate - so plan accordingly, including wearing clothes you will not mind potentially needing to retire.

Scouts will also receive their Pinewood Derby (PWD) kits at the pack meeting.  Please see your den leaders at the end of the pack meeting to pick up your kit so they can keep track of who has received it and who has not.  If you cannot make it to the pack meeting, your den leader will have the kit to give to you at your next den meeting.  A separate email will be sent out with the rules for the PWD.  In addition to the scouts racing, we also have a family race for any family members that are not scouts (kids or adults), so they can pour all of their imagination, desires and skill into a car of their own for racing.  Family cars are held to the same rules that the scouts' cars are required to meet.  The pack will have some additional kits available for purchase at $5 each, whether for an entry into the family race or a "just in case" kit to have.

Friday, January 6 - 5:30PM @ Wakefield-Lynnfield UMC - MOVIE NIGHT: Popcorn will be provided but not pizza.

Friday, January 20 - 6:30PM @ Wakefield-Lynnfield UMC - Blue & Gold Pack Meeting

Pack Meeting & Leaf Clean-Up

Hello Pack 722,

This is a reminder that we have a Pack Meeting this Friday, November 18th at 6:30PM at the Wakefield-Lynnfield United Methodist Church.  As it is the season of Thanksgiving and scouts are Kind and Helpful, we are running a Food Drive and are asking that scouts and scouting families bring a non-perishable item or two for donation to the Wakefield Food Pantry.  Here are the current suggested donation items:

The following day on Saturday, November 19th from 9:00 to 11:00 AM, we will reassemble at the same church to be helpful and show our gratitude to the church for supporting us and allowing us the use of their space by raking, sweeping, and collecting the leaves that have piled up around the church during this fall season.

We look forward to seeing you all at the two upcoming events!

Yours in Scouting,

Pack 722 Committee

For those wondering about the Dutton Center event, in the past, we have had a group of scouts go to this adult day health center to do skits and play games with the clientele.  It is usually about an hour or two and the folks at the Dutton Center have really enjoyed being able to interact with the youth.  More information to follow.

- Pack Dues are also being collected this weekend.  Dues can be paid via check made out to "Pack 722" or via Venmo @wakefieldcubscouts.  Please reach out to this email and/or your den leader if you are in need of financial assistance.
