Pack 59's Agenda: Our Flag!

Hello Scouters!

Our next meeting is this coming Monday, September 29th at 6:00 p.m. Each Den will be focusing on the United States flag to address den-specified requirements. In addition, I will be choosing facts about the flags creation and construction, I think will be interesting for the Cubs.

We will also be launching our annual Christmas Wreath fundraiser. Packets and information will be distributed.
