Final Summer Event! Come join Pack 125's first annual Good-bye Summer Pack Bike Ride!

What could be a better farewell to summer than friends, on a trail, enjoying the fresh air? We'll probably even spot some wildlife!

We will have a short bike safety talk and then we will ride! The trail is 3.1 miles, but there is an option to turn back about halfway if you need to! Several families with small children (pre-K aged!) have biked this trail before and report that it is easy and appropriate for all ages!
Bikes, scooters, wagons - all are welcome, but the trail is a shell/ rock trail so keep that in mind when choosing your mode of transportation.

Class B. Remember water (we will have water bottles for those who need it), sun protection, and bike helmets!

See you 9am on Saturday August 13th!
Please register/RSVP by clicking the link to right so we don't leave anyone behind! You can also remove your name if you are unable to make it.

While we have not had our official popcorn kickoff, you CAN register on the trails-end app and start selling online! Registration is mandatory for all Scouts! You can reach out to our Popcorn Kernel Jeff Fogel (jeffrey@justfour.us) with questions!

Here are basic instructions for registering on the trails-end app:

2) We are the Gulf Stream Council.
3) We are the Everglades District.
4) We are Pack 125. (**NOT** Troop 125)

Please use an email address that you check! This is where prize information is sent at the end of the season!

Four Scouts from Pack 125 already show as making sales! Luca looks to be on a mission to get his name engraved on the Pack 125 Popcorn Staff a 2nd time! Let's male this another amazing popcorn season!

We have been approved for Binks classrooms recruitment rallies on Wednesday Aug 24, 2022 ⋅ 8:30am – 9:30am.
We need several uniformed leaders or excited parents in a Pack 125 t-shirt to do the classroom rallies - it is an easy 2 minute scripted speech! We like to send 2 adults into each room and we leave flyers with the teacher. EASY! Please sign up on the website or reach out to Tonya with questions!

School Night for Scouting on Thursday, Aug 25, 6:30pm - 8:00pm.
I need all hands on deck for this event! *All* leaders need to be there to talk to potential recruits and welcome newly joined members. We also need leaders to run the stations - more info on this soon! If a few adults are interested in helping with Spanish speaking families, that would be great! We will also need adults to run youth activities while parents go through the stations and ask questions.

We asked Council to let us handle recruiting our way after last year's SNFS and they said yes, so let's do this! They will not be sending a representative to either event so we need to get LOTS of volunteers lined up to make it a successful recruiting season!

Did you collect books for our summer service project?
Ms. Kim is holding a drop-off event at Okeeheelee Park this Tuesday, July 26th from 6:00 to 7:00 at Alligator Pavilion (the first pavilion on the right after you enter the park). Stop by with your donations and be sure to let her know how many service hours you worked! If you need to make other arrangements, reach out to Kim Webb at 352-870-8696 or kwebb529@gmail.com.

Who doesn't have books laying around their house the kids have outgrown or don't want anymore? This summer, Pack 125 is collecting books ranging from infant to adult (including your old pregnancy books!), in any language!
We are going to fill the free little libraries around town and donate to schools/ foster homes, etc in need. Reach out to neighbors, family, school friends, and post on your community board!

Attached is a flyer for you to customize - add your own contact information and and donation due date (everything in RED is customizable).

Once your scout collects the books, contact Kim Webb 352-870-8696 or kwebb529@gmail.com and I will come pick them up from you! You will hear from either myself or your den leader in August about book distribution.

All books are due by Friday July 29th!

Congrats to the Pack 125 Pinewood Derby Winners!

1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place winners in each den can race in the District Pinewood Derby. I have registered everyone that reported interest in attending and you should receive details from Council soon.

A Scout is Thrifty.
If you have Scout uniform items, t-shirts, or handbooks that you no longer need, consider donating them to the Pack! We will have a collection box set up at Pack meetings. We plan to set up a 'store' with items for trade or donation to anyone who needs them!

Need new Pack 125 merchandise? We have t-shirts for $15, water bottles for $5, and Pack 125 stickers for $1! You can buy them at any time by contacting Kim at kwebb529@gmail.com.
