Thanks for your hard work selling popcorn!  Please distribute to your customers as soon as possible.  Also, gift cards have been ordered!  If your scout reached at least $350 in sales, you will receive an e-mail around November 25th with instructions on how to receive your gift card.  

Popcorn pickup will be this Saturday the 16th from 12-5 at 9330 Lochflora Drive (my house).  It would be very helpful to den leaders if you would volunteer to take the popcorn for your den.  You can also let your den leader know you will pick up from my house directly and then they won't have to be responsible for as much popcorn.  If you need to arrange an alternate pickup time, please contact me at 281 904-0406.  Thank you!  Wendy Nelson

Hello Scouts and parents, 

We have our Fall campout fast approaching, November 8^th through the 10^th. We hope that you can make it and we expect to have a lot of fun. There will be activities such as campfire events, skits, den rank requirements, and pack wide adventures. 

If you are planning to campout, or even just visit for a while without camping, please register on the Pack 1999 website so that we have a good idea of who to expect.

Also a requirement is to have the attached medical forms completed for all attendees, and turned into the Pack before you attend or at checkin at the camp.

There are a couple of park-led events on Saturday that dens can consider doing. Please discuss with your den soon as you will need to register for these with the park.

• Snakes! (10A – 11A) - This program is for basic hikers, homeowners, and snake lovers. Learn how to identify local snakes (venomous & nonvenomous) and why a good snake ISN'T a dead snake.
• Freshwater Ecology (2P – 3:30P) - hands-on activities focusing on determining the health of our local watershed. We will inspect samples to see what is living in our water by using nets and buckets to catch and release invertebrates for study.

Here is the link to the Lake Houston Wildness Park should you like to see more detail about the location: http://www.houstontx.gov/parks/parksites/lakehoustonpark.html

Popcorn sales is over! Please bring me all forms, checks and money by this Tuesday, Oct. 29th. This is the final deadline. Contact me at 281 904-0406 or wends15@hotmail.com. I live around the corner from Hassler if you want to do it at drop off/pick up time.
