No Meetings

There will not be meetings in June or July; for Roundtable, OA, or the Camp Tahuaya Committee. They will all resume in Augusts, with the Roundtable having a new location; the CTC Planetarium.

Consider the ideas of the Cub Scout Law

A Cub Scout follows Akela
A Cub Scout helps the pack grow
The pack helps the Cub Scout go
A Cub Scout gives goodwill.

Now liken those same ideas in conjunction with the pack and district
A Cub Scout Pack follows Leon Valley District
The Pack helps the District grow
The District helps the Pack go
The Pack gives goodwill.

Are you a Pack that follows the ideas of the Cub Scout Law? Come to roundtable and find out what is happening in your district and recieve on going training and ideas for the coming month's theme. Roundtable is the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm at Immanual Luthren Church. Hope the see you there.
