Leadership Meeting
On Sunday, May 17th the leadership of Pack 143 will meet to plan the future. We will set the calendar and begin the budgeting process. I hope that as we move forward we can work together to have a strong Pack that helps our scouts grow and learn.
I have always thought it's a good idea to publish goals, so that you can keep them clear in your mind. So here are my goals for the coming year.
1. Increase the flow of information between the leaders, scouts, school and parents
2. Develop a budget that creates growth that focuses on the future
3. Improve participation and recognition of the scouts
I am excited about the coming year.

Blue and Gold Banquet
The Blue and Gold banquet is a big time for all the scouts. The skits (although hokey for most of the adults) are great for the kids. Just think about it, by the time they have to give a speech in high school; these kids will have been up in front of an audience about 100 times. Now that's a life lesson.
Pinewood Derby 2009
The Pinewood Derby
What an exciting time for all the scouts. I think this is the best event of the year. It is hard to explain 150 people in the Murphy Center chanting for a block of wood to anyone who hasn't been there and done that.
