Announcements

Welcome to our new Cubmaster, Mr. Rich Lawlor!!! Most of you know him from his duties at school. He’s great with the kids, and knows how to keep things moving while making sure everyone has fun! We wish you luck in your new position!

Blue and Gold: Our Blue and Gold Banquet was held on Saturday April 19th. By all accounts, it was another rousing success. The boys got lots of recognition, the food was great, the desserts were amazing and the entertainment was outstanding! Thanks to everyone who had a hand in planning our biggest event of the year!

Sign-ups! Yes, it’s time to sign up for next year. If you didn’t already sign up during Blue and Gold, you have a second chance on Friday, May 9th from 6 to 7:30 pm. Come to our open house at the St. Andrew school cafeteria. The cost for retruning members is $35, and is $47.10 for new members (the extra $12.10 covers registration for the 2nd half of 2008).

Dress-down! Once again, we have been given permission for all Scouts (Girl-, Boy-, Cub or Brownie) to wear their Scout uniform to school on Friday May 9th. Don’t forget to tell your friends about the registration open house that night!

Trenton Thunder: Our annual sleepover on the field of the Trenton Thunder will be held Friday June 20th. Come watch the game and (if you like) bring a tent to camp out on the field (weather permitting) after the game. Family and friends are welcome to join us…just send an email to
