Thanks Giving Can Food Drive Easy as 1-2-3! :)




Can Good Donations are Due Saturday, November 20, 2010!

Parents,

I know what your are thinking! I don't have the time, I am tired, we just sold popcorn, etc. However I am happy to tell you in less than 1 hour these four Cub Scouts collected all these items from just 1 block!

Easy Tips for Success!
  • Scouts should be in Class A uniform (the uniform is the main selling point!)
  • SAFETY - Go During Sunlight! 
  • Scouts must be accompanied by an adult. Fee free to team up with other scout friends within Pack 133 from same neighborhood or school, etc. 
  • Scout should knock on door, while adult is close by and highly visible. 
  • Suggested Scout Script: "Hello my name if [first name only] and I am with Cub Pack 133 and we are collecting Can Foods for the less fortunate for Thanksgiving. Can you help us?"
  • Scout must say "Thank you" regardless if a donation is made or NOT.
  • Leave BSA Scouting plastic bag affixed to door handle if no one is home.
Every Scout is Successful if He Tries, Even If Not One Can is Collected. I will personally Donate to any 133 Scout if asked nicely at next Cub Meeting.

Do Forget, Channel 6 News will be out at 9am on 11/20 to interview Scouts in Class A Uniform with their Parents or Guardians. Don't worry, adults don't have to be on TV.   

Do Your Best!

Dear Cubs and Parents,

 

Please note that Saturday 13 November the Cub Pack will be attending the Zoo.  For details please be sure to get in contact Mr. Joel Wilson.  Mr. Wilson may be reached via e-mail at joel@jcwcc.com.

 

Please note this Saturday begins our Scouting for Food Drive where we collect can goods for St. Barnabas Mission.  St. Barnabas is a homeless shelter for women and children is located at 60th and Girard Streets.

 

This Saturday we will distribute bags.  The Boy Scout Troop will distribute bags throughout the surrounding neighborhood.  Next week Saturday 20 November, we will need to go back through those same neighborhoods and collect all can goods left outside for us to pick up.

 

Cubs and Scouts are asked to take bags home to distribute through their neighborhood and are asked to bring can goods to St. Thomas next Saturday.  All donations will be delievered to St. Barnabas on Monday 22 November at 7:00 p.m.

 

Please note there will be NO MEETING Saturday 27 November due to Thanksgiving.

 

There will be a Parents Meetings for Cub Scout Parents at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday 4 December.  ALL PARENTS OR REPRESENTATIVE NEED TO BE PRESENT. 

 

Registration for this year will be closed effective Saturday 4 December.  YOU MUST TURN IN ALL YOUR REGISTRATION FEE, REGISTRATION FORM, AND CLASS 1 MEDICAL FORM (No Physician needed on this form) TO BE REGISTERED FOR THE YEAR.

 

Checks or money orders should be made out to CUB SCOUT PACK 133 and turned in to Mr. Walt Livingston, Unit Treasurer. Cash is acceptable, regardless of payment ensure that you receive a receipt for all transactions.   

 

We ask for your cooperation to ensure we have all Scouts properly registered.  We are excited about the possibility of our growth in membership reaching 30 or more Scouts.  This will be the highest number ever of registered Cubs if the tentative roster proves to be true. 

 

In closing I would like to thank Mr. Joel Wilson, the leaders and parents who helped out with our Pumpkin Palooza.  This was a grand success that I hoped everyone enjoyed.  This event is already on the calendar for next year.

 

For up to date information please review the unit blog at http://phillyscouts133.blogspot.com/

 

Thank you,

 

Yours in Scouting,
