Richfield Cub Scout Pack 157 Newsletter – September 2023

WELCOME TO THE 2023-2024 CUB SCOUTING YEAR!!

Hello Scout Families!!!

Hopefully everyone’s transition back to school is going smoothly!

Although none of us want to see Summer come to an end, we all should be happy because we are now in the 23-24 Scouting Season!

That means a whole new group of Scouts joining our Pack and a new calendar of events, with new overnights and new venues for our annual events!

In this newsletter we will cover:  JOIN SCOUTS DAY, FAMILY NIGHT, UPDATING YOUR CONTACT INFO, NEW PACK T-SHIRTS, AND THE THRESHEREE!

SEPTEMBER 5TH is JOIN SCOUTING DAY!

REPRESENT OUR PACK AT SCHOOL ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 5TH!

We are asking that all Scouts to go to school with their Class A Uniforms on to show pride in Pack 157! We highly recommend that you DO NOT have them wear a neckerchief as that could get lost during the day.

FAMILY NIGHT 2023

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH: 6 – 730pm

Please stop by to help us welcome the new families that will be joining our Pack!

This event is for NEW & RETURNING Scouts.


Returning to our Pack this year?

Please feel free to stop by! Leaders will be readily available to answer any questions you may have about this year’s Scouting Program. We will also have printout of this year’s Calendar of Events, Pack Dues and more info about the Fall Product Sales at Piggly Wiggly.


Looking to join our Pack this year?

Our leaders will be on hand to help you fill out the Scout application, medical forms and much more! We will have more information on our Scouting Program, our Calendar of Events, our Pack Dues & Budget and the available Volunteering Opportunities within the Pack.


We look forward to seeing everyone at FAMILY NIGHT 2023!!

THRESHEREE & HARVEST FESTIVAL – SEPT. 16-17th

Our Pack is now a part of the Richfield Historical Society’s Thresheree & Harvest Festival!

This will be a fundraising opportunity for ALL SCOUTS to earn their Pack Dues.

We will be selling Steamed Sweet Corn & some of our Cub Scout Popcorn.

This fundraiser will work exactly like the Piggly Wiggly Popcorn Sales.

All Scouts will earn credit for the time that they work at the event.

Be on the lookout for an email from the Pack with a Sign Up Sheet for each day.

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CONTACT INFO TODAY!

We need EVERY SCOUT FAMILY to update their contact information EVERY YEAR, even if it has stayed the same. This ensures we always have the most current information for each Scout Family. THANK YOU!
NOTE: We hate to see anyone go….BUT If you do not wish to continue with our Pack, you can indicate so on the form linked above. We will remove you from future emails.
