Pack 337 Families,

Thank you for another great Pack meeting! Our Scouts had a blast building, launching, testing, and improving their paper rockets during our STEM Night.

If you haven’t completed the Pack 337 Family Information Form yet, please take care of that soon.

Our Pack 337 unit membership fee is $100 per Scout for the 2026–27 program year. This is separate from the national Scouting America registration or renewal fee and helps cover awards, program supplies, activities, and other Pack expenses.

📱 Stay Connected

We want to make sure every parent and guardian receives important Pack information throughout the year.

Please make sure you are connected through:

• Pack email distribution list – Any parent or guardian can be added.
• Pack GroupMe – All parents and guardians should join.
• Your den’s GroupMe – Make sure you’re also connected with your Scout’s den.
• Scouting America messaging – Every parent or guardian should create their own my.scouting.org account and have it connected to their Scout.

If you’re missing from one of our communication channels, please let a leader know so we can help get you connected.

🍿 Trail’s End Popcorn

Scouts can also participate in the Trail’s End Popcorn Sale to help support their Scouting adventures. Scouts can sell at storefronts, door-to-door, or online, and the Trail’s End app can be used to manage sales and payments.

Reach out if your Scout is interested in participating and you need help getting started.

⚜️ Invite a Friend!

Pack 337 is still growing, and one of the best ways to introduce a new family to Cub Scouting is through our current Scouts.

Encourage your Scout to invite a friend, classmate, neighbor, or teammate to an upcoming meeting. Families are always welcome to come see what Cub Scouting and Pack 337 are all about!
