Packs- - ensure this event is on your calendar and your Webelos "save the date". We are looking for volunteers (adults or older boys) to help with teaching activity badges or helping with lunch). If anyone is interested please contact white.margaret@gmail.com or southward1@msn.com and let them know what badge you have a passion to teach. The boys that attend this event really enjoy it and learn a lot, let s help them out again this year. Sleep in Card board boxes? Yahoo! Troop 83 will host Card Board City again. The date is still being determined but tentatively sounds like it will be either 10/27 or 11/3. St Thomas Aquinas church has given us permission to hold event on their site. All boy scout or girl scout units are invited and we encourage webelos to attend as well. We'll have a campfire running all night and take any donations that are dropped off at our site, but most needed are cash donations and paper products. So start saving those big boxes - contact appliance stores, or similar as those are great resources. Any questions, please contact Margaret White at or white.margaret@gmail.com.
