Richfield Cub Scout Pack 157 Newsletter – February 2023

Hello Scout Families! Spring is ALMOST here…

Unfortunately, the groundhog did not do us any favors…6 more weeks of Winter!

March 20th is actually the ‘Official’ first day of Spring, so we don’t have too long to wait!

In this newsletter we will cover: VOLUNTEERING, our Blue & Gold Event, our Spring Overnight, Pinewood Derby Cars and a Recap of the Winter Fundraiser

GET INVOLVED!

Cub Scout Pack 157 needs you, our Scout parents, to help run the Pack! Find out how you can become more involved by attending one of our Parent Committee Meetings. We meet once a month at either the Richfield Village Hall, or before/after a Pack Event. Everyone’s time is valuable and we try to make the meetings accessible to everyone.
