New Council MapAlso, you may have heard leaders talk about Pack 24 being part of the “Des Plaines Valley Council (or DPVC for short).”  The DPVC is in the process of being merged into a new group of four councils in the general Chicago area.  The name of this new entity is going to be called “Pathway to Adventure Council” and more information on this entity  is available on the following website:  http://www.betterstrongerscouting.org/

Your den leaders will be distributing popcorn starting on Saturday morning (November 15), so be sure to pick up your scout’s order and distribute to your customers.

Finally, be sure to mark your calendars for the following upcoming pack events:

  • Pack Meeting, Tuesday, December 9.  Pinewood cars will be distributed and we’ll have pie-in-the-face for top popcorn sellers
  • Pinewood Derby, Saturday, January 24.  More details will follow but we have check in during the morning and the race begins at 1pm in the upstairs RPC Gym.
  • Blue & Gold Banquet, Sunday, February 22.  The Arrow of Light Ceremony and Cross-Over for our Webelos II.  We’ll also have a special entertainer.  The venue is the Riverside Golf Club.
