It is time for the 4th of July parade in Gleannloch Farms and Pack 1999 will as always be in the parade.

This is the plan:

• We will meet at Hassler in the morning 10am to decorate the trailer. It is expected to take max. 1 hour.
• We meet again at 5:15-5:30pm to get ready for the parade.
• Please also have each of your scouts being a bag of candy to throw out to all the folks on the parade route.  
• The parade starts at 6:00pm from Hassler and ends at the sports complex.

Below are some pictures from last year

Dear Parents, We have created a closed facebook group for Pack1999. Please join here.

Friends of Scouting is an opportunity for families, friends, and alumni, to support Scouting.

Help us provide the resources necessary to make sure every youth can benefit from Scouting’s fun, exciting, adventure-filled activities that foster character, honesty, respect, and life-long values. The $24 annual Scouting registration fee goes directly to the National Council office of the Boy Scouts of America. Our Pack dues stay with our Pack to help pay for supplies, advancements, and our great program activities.  None of that money helps the Sam Houston Area Council. In order to keep Scouting affordable for all youth, our council runs an annual Friends of Scouting fundraising campaign.

Our Pack has a long history of being one of the most generous supporters of Friends of Scouting.  Our campaign will start with our FOS presentation at our Pinewood Derby.  Let's shoot for 100% participation!  

Friends of Scouting helps:

• Recruit and train youth and leaders
• Provide assistance to those in need
• Keep our camps and activities affordable
• Enhance programming and facilities
• Provide communication tools for volunteer leaders

Friends of Scouting contributions provide approximately 24% of the support the council receives each year. The success of Scouting depends on those who support it. Please help Scouting provide the resources necessary to make sure every youth can benefit from Scouting’s fun, exciting, adventure-filled activities that foster character, honesty, respect, and life-long values. Your generous tax-deductible gift to the Boy Scouts of America provides direct funding for educational initiatives and active learning that program fees alone do not cover – is a statement about your belief in Scouting, our programs, and our properties; and in our belief in educating the entire mind of the young people.

If you need to turn in your pledge card (or if you need a pledge card), contact FOS@pack1999.org .

Hey Pack 1999,

We need you!

There is no better way to ensure that your son has a quality Scouting program than for you to be a Pack Leader!  Your son deserves to see you in a leadership position!! 

Here are some positions that are open:

Details about the positions can be found here.

If you would like to be a Leader, or if you know of someone who would make a great Pack Leader, please Email LeaderRecruiting@pack1999.org to discuss.  Leadership transitions need to happen as soon as possible so our new Leaders can have the benefit of working with the person currently in that position.

Training provided . . . plus, you get to wear the snazzy uniform!

We also need volunteers to chair the following activities:

Dear Parent,

Please start using the Pack1999 mobile app to track your scouts advancements. The setup instruction can be found here

PS: Remember that updates are only possible via the mobile app for parents so the leaders can approve the advancement updates on the website. Also remember to sync the app once you have made updates so we can see the changes in packmaster.

 Every boy deserves the Adventure of Scouting!

 We are so glad that you are involved in Scouting. Whether you are a parent, a leader, or a volunteer, you make a tremendous difference in the lives of young people through your commitment to Scouting. 

 We are excited about the new Scouting year and all of the fun that is in store for kids. Wouldn't it be great to have some of your friends or son's best friends involved, or maybe neighbors, or teammates? 

Let's invite them to join the adventure of Scouting. Check out this video that explains Scouting and the potential it has to build men of great character for our country's future. 

Feel free to share this with your friends!  And, while you're at it, invite them to visit our next Pack or Den meeting!
