Open letter to all Pack 695 members

As I reflect back over where our Pack has come from and what we have accomplished I find it hard to believe I will be starting my 5th and final year with this great Pack though I am filled with tons of emotions from the thought of leaving this wonderful Pack to entering the world of Boy Scouts with my Son,  I know I can do so due to the great foundation I helped to lay since joining with Keith in 2009.  (In 2009 we had a total of 7 Boys!)  Since then the group of parents that have joined and answered the call to lead has been astounding in every aspect of Scouting/Friendships!! The ride has been a roller coaster at times and a scary Haunted house at others and everything in between, and I would not of wanted it any other way! 

Parents who are attending the Sea World Sleepover, during friday nights Meeting Jeff handed out forms that
must be completed and turned back in to Jeff no later than April 26, 2013! if you did not receive these consent forms
Jeff will have more next Friday.  Sea World requires each and every participant to have a form completed and sent in with our
final payment. Participants who do not turn in these forms will not be allowed to Sleep over and will forfeit their funds per Sea World use policy
PLEASE GET YOUR FORMS COMPLETED AND TURNED IN TO JEFF!

Greetings parents, once again we ask that you please utilize the web site registration for events etc.
this is a very vital tool for us leaders when hosting events.  We use this to ensure that we have adequate leadership for the amount
of participants as well if need be we have adequate provisions i.e. Water etc for those events the Pack supplies them.  
We can not stress enough how much we need this done.  On that same issue if you are not attending we asked that you also state
that under the registration page  by clicking "REGRETS" again this helps in several ways, one being we use this as to see how popular an event is
to see if we host it again in the future. many events have a minimum and a maximum and we use the registration as well, if an event has
a maximum cut off of 20 scouts but we get 30 that show up we run into several problems, and the same go's for minimums.
Leaders have to apply for a trip permit from the district for each event and they need to know as well how many people are going
for insurance purposes. So please help us serve your Scouts by taking a few minutes and completing the registrations
one way or the other.  Thanks  Your Pack Leaders
