Cub Scout Pack 88

WELCOME TO THE CUB SCOUT PACK 88 WEBPAGE



What a great beginning to the new scouting year!  We have lots of new faces, help and ideas.  Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, and extended family who have stepped up to make this a great year.  

We have 10 scouts this year.  This is up from previous years.  That is a great sign.  We are making the program more formal this year and hopefully this will make things much smoother.  

Because our pack is so small we are going to be having combined Den Meetings on every Wednesday beginning November 5th.  These will be from 6pm to 7pm.  The location will vary from the Lamoine School to the Lamoine Fire Department. 

We have added a Camp Scholarship Committee this year to help out with sending out scouts to camp.  This Committee will be asking local businesses for funds to give to a few of our scouts to pay for camp expenses.  

We have also added a Fundraising Chair to our Committee.  Jeanee Smart will be working with outside businesses to get great fund raisers for us to make money for miscellaneous expenses and camp expenses.  She has a million great ideas and we are very happy to have her with us.  If you have any idea or suggestions for her, please contact her at jbc_smart@yahoo.com

We are making the training program manditory for all adults that will be helping out in any way with the pack.  This is important because it gives us the information we need to make the program succeed.  Our first training will be on Sunday, January 11th at 6pm during our normally scheduled committee meeting.  This is basic training and mandatory for all adults involved in the scouting program.  

We are also encouraging as many committee members and den leaders to attend the monthly roundtables offered by the Katahdin Area Council.  These are held on the third Thursday of every month at the Ellsworth Middle School.  This is a chance for us to share ideas with other area packs and get new ideas.

We will also have the pleasure of having 2 MDI High School students helping us with the program this year.  Will Dickey, a current Seascout, and Joseph Fallica.  These two young men have been an amazing addition to our pack.  They add a young outlook to the program and the scouts absolutely love being with them.   

We have had a wonderful beginning to the scout year and are excited about the coming months.  We have a lot planned for next year.  We will see everyone on Wednesday, January 7th at 6pm at the Lamoine Fire Station!

Happy Holidays!!!!!
