Every year, we have a terrific October Pack Meeting. We spend the month building new games or repairing our old games. Then, for our Pack meeting, we get to play all of the games and have a great time. This year was no exception. All the boys enjoyed themselves, there were some great costumes, and plenty of candy for everyone!
Thank you everyone for making this year's Halloween Pack Meeting one of the best ever.

Popcorn Take Order
Scouts, we have accomplished a great task! We have completed the take order portion of our popcorn sale. We took over $15,000 in sales, which means that after we complete the sale, a portion of that money will be available to us to put on the best program we can.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Upcoming Events...
Dear parents and scouts,
This is Roger Pugh, Cubmaster for Pack 101. I heard from some parents that they were at the church on Tuesday (the 29th) but no Tiger Cubs were there, and we had no meeting. They were concerned that we weren't having a meeting and they weren't informed. I want to say I'm sorry if there was a mis-communication, and I know our schedule will take a little getting used to, but we weren't supposed to have a meeting on Tuesday.
Here's how the schedule of meetings goes: On the first, second, and third Tuesday of the month, Tigers have either our Den meeting, or a Go See It meeting. Wolfs and Bears meet on the first, second and third Tuesdays for their Den meetings. Webelos I and Webelos II have den meetings the first, second and third Mondays each month. On the fourth Tuesday of the month, we have our Pack meeting, in which all Dens get together. This September, we had a fifth Tuesday. That happens a couple of times a year. Unless otherwise noted, we do not have meetings on a fifth Tuesday in a month. We consider it an "off" week. At the previous Den meetings, and at the Pack meeting, I made the announcement that the Tigers would not be meeting on Tuesday the 29th. We'll meet four times a month, unless we agree in advance for some special event, and if we do that, I will call or email everyone. So, sorry if that message didn't get to everyone, and rest assured that we are committed to providing a great program for the boys!
Here is our schedule for October:
OCTOBER 5: Den Meetings for Webelos I (7 pm) and Webelos II (6 pm) up at the Methodist Church.
OCTOBER 6: Den Meetings for Tigers, Wolfs and Bears. Their individual Den meetings this time will be special. Instead of meeting at the church, each group will meet at 6 pm at the Fort Massac Visitor Center and Museum. We are going to take a self-guided tour of the museum.
OCTOBER 12: Den Meetings for Webelos I and Webelos II up at the Methodist Church.
OCTOBER 13: Den Meetings for the Tigers, Wolfs and Bears. Each group will meet individually at the Methodist Church at 6 pm.
OCTOBER 19: Den Meetings for Webelos I and Webelos II up at the Methodist Church. Popcorn order forms are due to your leaders at this time and no later.
OCTOBER 20: Den Meetings for Tigers, Wolfs, and Bears. Each will meet individually at the church at 6 pm. POPCORN order forms are due to me on this night! I can not take them any later than this night!
OCTOBER 27: Pack Meeting. We will meet at the church at 6:30 pm. Note, this is earlier than we normally have a Pack meeting, but our Halloween/Fall Festival meeting generally takes a little longer to complete. We will meet, give out any advancements and awards, and then we will commence to have a great time playing games and winning candy and prizes!
I look forward to an exciting October for the boys!
We have only a couple of weeks left to take orders for popcorn. Let's work hard to get as many orders as we can. You can Achieve the goal you have set for yourselves! Remember, there are lots of prizes to work for, as well as cash back bonuses that we pay directly to scouts who sell more than $500 in popcorn. Sales will also qualify your scout to be entered into drawings for scooters, a computer, and an XBox! Popcorn sales provides the community a great opportunity to support Cub Scouts, and we generate the funds we need to put on a great program each year! Thanks for your hard work! Every little bit helps!

Welcome to Pack 101!
This August we had a terrific Cub Scout Round-up. We signed up nearly 40 new scouts, which makes this year one of the best years we have ever had for new scouts.
There are several important pieces of information I need to communicate to everybody: First, meeting times and places.
Tigers: Methodist Church, 1st and 2nd Tuesdays, 6 pm; 3rd Tuesday, Go See It, 6 pm.
Wolfs: Methodist Church, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Tuesdays, 6 pm;
Bears: Methodist Church, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Tuesdays, 6 pm;
Webelos 1: Methodist Church, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Mondays, 7 pm;
Webelos 2: Methodist Church, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Mondays, 6 pm.
ALL DENS MEET FOR OUR PACK MEETING ON THE 4TH TUESDAY OF THE MONTH, 7 PM, AT THE METHODIST CHURCH. This month we are having our Pack meeting on September 22nd.
My contact information is as follows: Roger Pugh, 113 Lindsey Avenue, Metropolis, IL. (618) 524-8340

Note there is no “www” in the address.
All new scouts should be progressing towards the Bobcat badge. If you are not sure what that is, please see your den leader or contact me, and we’ll get you started. You should also have the right handbook for your group. You might be putting your uniform together right now, too, which is great. Here is a list of parts for your uniform.
Hat (for specific den); Neckerchief and slide (for specific den); Shirt (1st-3rd: Blue shirt; 4th and 5th, please contact your leader about which shirt to buy); Shawnee Trails Council Patch; World Scouting Emblem Patch; Pack Numbers (101); Den Numbers (Tigers: Den 4, Wolfs Den 1, Bears, Den 2, Webelos 1 Den 3, and Webelos 2 Den 5); Belt and Buckle (for specific den). Handbooks and uniform parts can be purchased from Hoopers in Paducah, downtown on Broadway.
Our popcorn kickoff begins with your dens’ first meetings. In order to provide the great program we deliver to the scouts, we have a popcorn sale fundraiser. Last year, our Pack sold almost $17,000 in popcorn! This year, if each scout meets their dens’ sales goals, and also reaches his own personal goal, then we can easily exceed last year’s record-breaking effort, even in these tough times! The company we work with provides really high quality prizes for scouts to help motivate them to reach their sales goals. Our Council also adds incentives, such as drawings for an Xbox 360 and a laptop computer. Our Pack also adds a cash bonus incentive for each scout. If a scout sells more than $500 in popcorn, he will get 5% of his sale back directly to him in CASH, in addition to any other prizes he earns. Last year, one boy sold more than $2500 in popcorn and qualified for a college scholarship in addition to his prizes! He didn’t have a “magic touch;” he went out, and sold door to door. He was confident, courteous, wore his uniform, and in just a few days, he had taken that much in orders. YOU CAN TOO!
When you get ready to take popcorn orders, do so safely. Go with your parents. Don’t go into a stranger’s home alone. Wear your uniform. Remember, we are TAKING ORDERS ONLY at first. We do not take money now, only when the order is delivered. Get to know what it is you are selling. Recommend what you like to potential customers. Show them that there are many options available if they don’t particularly like popcorn, including a military donation, in which their contribution buys popcorn treats for our soldiers. Most everybody who is approached will place an order, because people in our area really do support the Cub Scouts. Make sure and thank them for their orders. When you first approach them, you might say something like, “Hi, I’m with Cub Scout Pack 101 and I am taking orders for popcorn to help support my Pack. Can I show you what we have to offer?” That’s all it takes! Taking orders for popcorn will conclude on Sunday, October 18th. I need to have your completed forms by your next Den meeting, (either October 19th or 20th, depending). I look forward to seeing everybody at the Pack Meeting, September 22nd, 7 pm, at the Methodist Church in Metropolis.
