The first order of business for new scouts is to get your appropriate Den handbook, which you can get from Hoopers, over in Paducah, for about $8. During the first meetings, we will talk about uniforms, our uniform exchange, and the costs for uniform parts.
Every meeting, we collect 50 cents in dues, to begin to pay for registration for next year.
I will be sending out a September/October newsletter sometime next week.
We will begin our popcorn sales shortly. Each year, cubscouts participate in one fund raiser, which covers our costs for everything we do for the upcoming year, and allows the boys to earn prizes for their hard work. You will get information about popcorn sales very soon.
If you missed our sign up, please attend the den meeting that fits your son's grade, and we will be glad to sign you up at any time.
I look forward to a great new year in scouting!
Roger
