Wednesday May 31st 5pm GLF Rec Pool, Gleannloch Farms Community Pool ( https://goo.gl/maps/1YZhAtFnBPFq4WPF9 ) 

The school year is coming to an end but scouting does not stop over the summer. The first event we have planned is the pool party on Wednesday May 31st the Gleannloch Farms Recreation pool (next to tennis courts) from 5-7pm.  This year we will provide pizza + water.

Please register at https://www.pack1999.org/node/3615  to help us plan for food and prizes, and don't forget to bring a friend who maybe interested in joining our pack. 

This event is during normal neighborhood pool hours so it will not be pack 1999 exclusive and you can come earlier or stay later.  If you are not a resident of Gleannloch Farms it is ok - come to the entrance and we will sign you in as a guest.   If you are a resident, try to pick up your key fobs to enter the pool area from the Gleannloch Farms CA Onsite office located in the Equestrian Center 19240 Champion Forest Dr. .

Please join us for the 2023 Rank Ceremonies and Crossover
