Cub Scout Pack 37 News

Thanks to Bill Austin, Otha Britton, Frances Bynum, and John Overby for helping out Saturday at the annual Pinewood Derby race.  We had 8 Tiger Scouts  (1^st Grade), 7 Wolf Scouts (2^nd Grade), and 2 Webelos (5^th Grade) to race.  A great time was had by everyone.  Our next big event is the Blue & Gold Banquet on Monday, Feb. 20. at the Methodist Church.  February is Scouting month, and this is our time to celebrate this event.

Mid-Winter Conference is only 2 weeks away.  Linda Ramsey and Evelyn Blythe will be attending from our club.  A silent auction will be held at the conference to benefit the District Foundation.  If you or your company has any products that you could donate to the silent auction, see Linda and Evelyn for more information. The conference is Feb. 10-12 in Baton Rouge, La.
