Splash Universe: We Need Your Vote Splash Universe is not open on Wednesday, Dec 7th, so we have to reschedule the event. The committee wants you all to have a vote since it can be a very busy month. Of course, siblings are welcome to this very fun event. Cost: $11 per swimmer, $3 for non-swimmers...4 hour block of time in the Water Park. It is a great deal since a regular ½ day pass is $25 per person. You will find a survey on the home page. Please vote for 1 option:
Let your voice be heard...Vote today!!! Scout Bucks A final tally of “scout bucks” earned per family is being conducted and will be communicated next month (see Tim Dorweiler). If you participated in Popcorn fundraising you can estimate how many “scout bucks” you’ve earned with the following: Scout Bucks Earned = [(Total Door to Door Sales) + (Total 2x4 Kit sales) + (Hours worked at Grocery Stores * $46.54)] * 30%...I know, I know it’s the engineer in me…Basically 30% of your total popcorn sales. Summer Camp Registration & Deposit Tony Guajardo our Camp Coordinator will be making reservations in early Nov for summer at Camp Munhacke for all current Tigers through Webelos 1 scouts. At the Nov Pack Meeting he will have more details on the dates of Camp. The cost of camp is $125 per camper. Camp is a good value and with our “scout bucks” program, it can be affordable for families. We need to get your reservation and deposit at the Pack Meeting. Please communicate your reservation intentions and whether you wish to use some of your “scout bucks” towards your deposit or bring a check for $40 per camper (typically $80 per family) made out to “SSA Pack One”. SSA Pack Fees There are still a few families that haven’t registered or paid the Pack Fee for this year. Please register your son and make a check payable to “SSA Pack 1” for $70 per scout and turn it in at the Pack Meeting or you can mail it to me at:
