HIKE AT SHELBY FARMS.

The Tiger Den will be hiking their third and last hike at Shelby Farms for their Leave No Trace badges Monday, April 18 at 5 p.m. I'll be sending out an email soon to let you know where we'll be meeting at SF or some of us can meet at the church and ride together. I'll bring some bags for the trash pick up service project. The boys have been doing a great job cleaning up the local trails... and have found some tabs along the way! Way to go, guys!!

LAST CALL FOR KIA KIMA!!!!

There has been no interest shown by anyone wanting to attend Kia Kima resident camp July 8-11. We have a site booked, but registration fees from boys were due last month and registration for camp courses begin Monday at 6 p.m. Let Jason know ASAP if you're interested in attending, as the courses fill up fast. Fees are $50 per Scout and $75 per adult. We also need someone to coordinate this event if anyone plans to attend.

CROSSOVER CEREMONY AT NEXT PACK MEETING.

Our next Pack meeting will be Monday, May 9 at 6 p.m. It will be held at W.C. Johnson Park in Collierville at the north end of Byhalia Road. We'll meet at the far end of the park where the greenbelt area is. This is the last Pack meeting of the Scouting year and we hope to see everyone there. We will also have the Crossover Ceremony where the boys receive their new neckerchiefs with their new ranks.

MEMORIAL DAY FLAG PLACEMENT.

On Saturday, May 28 there will be a Memorial Day Flag Placement ceremony at 8 a.m. at West Tennessee Veteran's Cemetery. This is a yearly Scouting function and is a very rewarding service project. Scouts place flags near the graves of our country's Veterans before Memorial Day services begin. The cemetery is at 4000 Forest Hill Irene Road.

CONGRATULATIONS WOLVES!!

At tonight's Pack meeting, all of the boys in Wolf Den 5 were presented with their Wolf Badges. Great job, boys!!

HIKE ON SATURDAY.

Just a reminder that the Tiger Cub Den 3 will be going on a hike at the H. W. Cox Jr. Park this Saturday, April 9 at 4:15.

We're working on our Leave No Trace badge and this hike will fulfill one of the requirements. Let's hope for great weather!!

BOWLING BELT LOOPS.

Tiger Cub Den 3 recently earned their Bowling Belt Loops at Funquest and had a great time doing it. Check out some photos of the boys bowling... some of them even got strikes and spares and it was their very first time to hit a lane! Great job, boys!!

NEXT PACK MEETING.

The next Pack Meeting will be held on Monday, April 4 at 6 p.m. at the church gym. We’ll be collecting 13 gallon tall kitchen garbage bags for the Page Robbins Alzheimer’s Center. The theme for April is “Scouting in the Land Down Under”.

ANNUAL MEMPHIS REDBIRDS EVENT.

May 13th is the annual Memphis Redbirds event. Susan Key has volunteered to head this up for the Pack.

Tickets are $27 per person (adults and children) and are open to the entire family. Please get your RSVP and payment to Susan no later than April 24th.

WEBELOS WOODS.

Webelos Woods is from May 20-22 at Camp Currier for current Webelos and Bears. Contact Shane Miller for information.

PAYMENT FOR SUMMER ACTIVITIES.

It was decided at the last leaders meeting that the pack would pick up the cost of the Cub Scout Day Camp in June, or would give $75 towards Summer Camp at Kia Kima (Tigers/Wolves) or Mack Morris (Bears/Webelos) per Scout!

Adults will still need to pay for themselves, but this represents a significant savings to each pack family. More info on these events will be given soon. This is due to the great job everyone did with our fund raising activities last fall.

CUB SCOUT DAY CAMP.

Cub Scout Day Camp is from either June 13-17 or June 20-24. Rebecca Ellis will be coordinating this event.

KIA KIMA.

Kia Kima is the annual three night camp out for the Tiger Cubs and Wolves. This year it will be June 8-11. We need someone to coordinate the event.
