Hello Pack 196 Families!
A few important updates and reminders:
Scoutbook Calendar Update
We've tidied up the Scoutbook calendar! Apologies if you notice remnant or duplicate events. The good news is that you'll now get event reminders 3 days and 6 hours before each activity.
Click here to download the updated calendar to your device -- bonus that it updates automatically with any changes we apply!
BSA Membership Renewal
Some of you may have received an email with the subject "Your Scouting America Membership is up for renewal." We have contacted families who need to renew manually. Everyone else should be good!
If you are unsure of your status, find out:
Step 1. Log into your My.Scouting.org account
Step 2. Click on the "My Application" tile (top row, third item)
Step 3. If you or your Scout's membership is due for renewal, please follow the instructions in the official email from Scouting America to renew.
November Pack Meeting
Our next Pack meeting is this Tuesday, November 18th at 6:30 PM in Sporting Hill's cafeteria. Please have your Scout wear their Class A uniform. Since we are unable to visit the local elderly care facilities in person, we will instead be writing to share some holiday cheer with the residents.
Pack Store is OPEN!
The Pack 196 online store has reopened for the holidays! Some of our Webelos are wearing shirts that would make Paris Hilton blush, so now is the perfect time to grab some fresh Class B gear.
Get your orders in before the store closes on December 1st!

Note: This is the last time the store will be open for the Scouting year.
New families: If you haven't already, please email us your Scout's name and size at pack196cubmaster@gmail.com so we can get you a Class B shirt!
