Pack's Parent Guide and Interest Survey

1 - We would like to Provide the Parent Guide for New Families and also for everyone's review. If you are a New Family and you did not get a Pack 549 Shoulder Patch let me know. We added 18 new scouts... so welcome our two new Tiger Dens (6 and 7) and the Wolves and Bears that joined active Dens. We will also have a fall recruitment event. So be sure to ASK families and friends to join Pack 549! No.1 Parent Handbook 2008.doc

A parent interest survey is to be completed and given to your Den Leader and Pack Trainer . The Pack will then have a copy for planning. If your Den is traveling for various events together then your Den Leader will appreciate having the form with car information. Parent-Interest-Sheet with Travel-Car Information. source online.pdf

2009 Hometown Parade Info

Scouts (and their Leaders) are invited to march in the Hometown Days Parade, to take place this coming Sunday, June 14th. Scouts will march along with a decorated truck/trailer. The older scouts will likely take turns carrying the Pack 549 Banner.

Sunday, June 14th
Parade Line-up/Scout Arrival: 11-11:30 AM
Parade Begins at Noon
Class A Uniforms Required

Getting Your Scout There:
Legion St (behind Wildcat Lanes) will be the best route to our line-up location on S. Nine Mound Rd.
Look for entry #21...a truck, trailer with a tent, and scout uniforms...near Industrial Drive and the Bike Trail Crossing on S. Nine Mound Rd.
Plan to arrive between 11-11:30, as there will be closed roads and plenty of traffic to maneuver.

Picking Your Scout Up:
Discuss plans for meeting your Scout after they finish marching and/or at the end of the parade. (The parade route ends near Wildcat Lanes.)
Provide them with a cell phone and/or phone number to reach you as a precaution.

Other Important Details:
Class A Uniforms are required for all Scouts and Leaders marching. Consider the weather--undershirts for chill, raingear, etc.
Skateboards, scooters, Healy's, etc. are NOT appropriate.
Restroom visits (limited availability) and snacks (it will be lunch time) should be planned around the parade schedule. Water will be available.
