What: Distribute Fliers to assigned homes for the Annual Scout Food Drive


Watch for emails for more information and contact people.  Please read the directions.  Your den leader will be your main contact.


Cub Scout Pack 549 will distribute flyers to assigned neighborhoods per den.  You will be provided with flyers to hang on the doors.  Council will provide the flyers.   The den leaders will hand out assigned streets and maps with the flyers to their den members.  Your den leader will be your contact for the assignments and flyers.  On March 20 your den leaders will have the flyers and specific street maps so you know where to hang the flyers.   Once you are finished please contact your den leader.

The flyers must be hung on the doors of the homes prior to Saturday, March 28, 2015.  Verona Boy Scout Troop 349 will pick up the food on Saturday,  March 28, 2015. 

If your scout wants to hang more flyers than the assigned amount, contact your den leader for extra streets to cover.

If you are unable to finish your assigned streets, please let your den leader know so the streets can be handled by another scout.   Also, we must provide the BSA Troop with the specific streets for picking up the food.  This is always a very large food drive for the Food Pantry.

 What are we doing?:

Snow tubing is an excellent activity for the whole family. Imagine the thrill of sliding down an 800 foot chute on a truck tire tube and then standing on the Magic Carpet Lift for a ride back to the top of the hill. No experience is needed; just hop on and enjoy the ride. More information about snow tubing: http://www.cascademountain.com/index.php
