Dear Pack 183 Families,

Our Camp Card Fundraiser is well underway!

Please note the following:

  1. If you have not yet checked out your 25 cards from your Den Leader, please make arrangements to do so at your earliest convenience!  Each Scout is being asked to sell 25 cards to help fund the Pack.  50% of the proceeds on the first 25 cards will go to South Florida Council, while, Pack 183 will receive the remaining 50%.
  2. DUE AT MARCH 6TH PACK MEETING – Please submit your money to settle up for your initial 25 cards that you have sold.  If you are unable to attend the Pack Meeting, please find a way to get your camp card money to your Den Leader before March 6th.
  3. IF you choose to sell more than the initial 25 cards, I will need for you to tell me the quantity of cards you would like by March 7th, and you must pay up front for them.  There will be no refund for unsold cards.  Remember:  For all camp cards sold after your initial 25, you will receive 50% into your Scout Account, while South Florida Council will receive the remaining 50%.
  4. If you should have any questions, please contact your Den Leader or Jennifer Phillips.

Thank you all for supporting our favorite Scouts!

Cut the Car Night

Posted on by

Attention Scouts, Parents & Leaders

Tonight, February 27, at 6:30 PM is our first CUT THE CAR NIGHT at Manatee Bay Elementary for the upcoming Pinewood Derby…  If you have not yet received your Official Pinewood Car Kit from your den leader the kits will be available at the school.

Each registered Scout receives 1 free official car kit. Additional kits can be purchased for $5.00 each for Siblings or Parents who wish to build a car and enter it in the derby… We will have several race divisions including a Sibling division and an Adult division during the Pinewood Derby on April 11th, trophies will be awarded in all divisions…

During the Cut the Car night activity you will have the opportunity to trace your car design pattern onto your car and have it cut out on the band saw, then it will be up to you to sand, paint and individualize your cars for Derby day…

We encourage everyone to try to make it out to the 1st Cut the Car Night to give the scouts as much time as possible to prepare their cars for the derby…  If you can not make it this Friday we will have one more Cut the Car Night before the derby on Thursday, March 12th…

I look forward to seeing all of you there…

Thanks,

The Pine Wood Derby Committee

Food Pantry Volunteers

Posted on by
Hello Pack 183!

The food pantry we donated to in December, Bread of Life Food Pantry in Pembroke Pines http://www.aplaceintime.org/bread-of-life-food-pantry/ , has invited 10 of our scouts and a parent each to assist in their monthly food distribution on Saturday, February 28.

The food distribution is from 8am – 12pm.  You need not stay the entire time.  Scouts can help fill boxes of food 8am-9am; give out donuts to the guests as they arrive, sweep and help clean up afterward.  Webelos could help carry boxes of food to people’s cars with assistance.

There’s a short worship service at 10:00 for 20 – 25 minutes. It’s usually 2 songs and then a message of hope. Everyone is welcome to sit in, or they can remain at the front if they prefer not to take part. After the worship service, people ‘shop’ for clothing items if needed and food boxes are carried out to the cars.

If you are interested in attending with your scout, please contact me at pack183chair@gmail.com.

Thank you – Julie Romaniw, Pack 183 Committee Chair

BSO celebration

Pack 183,

The Broward Sheriffs Office is celebrating their 100 years of service protecting the good people of Broward County and will host a centennial showcase event on Saturday March 7th, 10am to 4pm, up in Markham Park.

It would be great to see everyone there, in scout uniform if you can, to support the BSO and help show our appreciation for what they do for us as Pack 183 but for the communities in Broward as a whole.

More details on the attached flyer.
