Important Cub Scout Fall Round Up Update

It's Fall Round Up time and Signal Hill District has been very busy getting new kids in Cub Scout Packs. This year we ask that you please take advantage of the free Brian Urlacher Cub Scout patch, by turning in your applications right when you have them completed.   This helps our Registrar with quick processing of your new boys so they can participate in the great adventures of your pack. 

 

Remember, as more Cub Scouts continue to register with your pack, up through October 15^th, when you turn in your completed applications at NWSC, your new boys will receive the free Urlacher patch.  PLEASE continue to encourage your registered Cubs to ask their "non Cub Scout" friends to join and the "recruiting" Cub Scout will ALSO receive a free Urlacher patch.

 

We are asking that all packs highly consider getting another round of flyers into the school/s you serve to gain more boys. By gaining these additional Cubs and aparents, this will allow packs to maintain a strong parent/Leader and youth base, for future years after you move up to a Troop.  This is very important for future pack success, especially if your pack had a small turn-out at your Fall Round Up.  Signal Hill District Director, Pete Stikovich, can easily have another round of flyers printed for you and will get them distributed in the schools.  Pete has had successful experience working with Administrators and schools are very open to additional flyers being distributed. Please contact Pete to go over the details for your flyer. You can simply have new boys attend your next pack meeting and not add another meeting night to your pack's schedule. Contact Pete Stikovich at (847) 854-4225 pstikovich@msn.com

The Fall Camporee Committee has been meeting and is looking forward to an exceptional event this year.  The Camporee will run from October 10 thru 12 at a very nice camp, Camp Crown in Wilmot, Wisconsin.  The focus will be on preparation of the pioneers as they settled America.  Registration forms were distributed at the August Roundtable.  Please register ASAP to attend this event.

 

The program will include the following:

Cub Scout Whooporee  Is Right Around The Corner!!

Don't forget to registrar soon for the 2003 WHOOPOREE!!  A mailing recently went out to registered Cub Scouts in Signal Hill, so please remind your pack's members to reply soon to get in on the fun.  The Whooporee date is Saturday, October 18^th and Sunday October 19^th and the Whoop Committee has been working very hard to "repeat their performance" and make this another year of the best fun there is in Cub Scouts in the great Signal Hill District.  Council Camp Lakota is our location and will be very fun! Registration forms were also distributed to packs at the September Roundtable. Please be advised that Tiger Cubs (1^st grade boys) are highly encouraged to attend the January 17^th Tiger Time Fun Day, and they aren't invited to participate in the Whooporee.  Whooporee is designed for older Cub Scouts.
