Thanks to all the scouts and akelas that showed up for 2009's Gold Rush at Medoc Mountain today!  We all had a good time despite the early rain that put a slight damper on the event, but not our spirits.  Be sure to check out the Photo Gallery for pitcures of todays events.

Akelas who were there, if you have additional photos than what I have, please email them to me at admin{AT}bsapack11.org.  Just take out the {AT} and replace it with @. 

Scouts,

We have another opportunity to for a Show and Sell at Walgreen Drug Store on Saturday.  So after we finish picking up the litter at Sunset Park, we can get a bite to eat and then sell some Popcorn.  I have set up a time with the Manager on duty for 2:00 PM through 6:00 PM.  As this is a long time for some of you Scouts, we can work in two shifts.  I do need to know who will be interested and when they plan to work.  This is a uniformed event because you would be surprised how much popcorn that uniform sells for you.

Akelas,

This is an excellent opportunity for your son’s to learn by watching their fellow Pack members “work the crowd.”  The first time I did an event with my children, I made the first few sales and had them watch.  By the end of the evening, they were delighting everybody who came by.
