Following is a list of upcoming Scout Days/Nights:

05/26 (Sat): Scout Night at Brentwood REI
06/17 (Sun): Oakland A's Scout Day (vs San Diego Padres)

Scout Days/Nights are not Pack 1776 events but rather community events open to Scout groups.

Last year, in addition to having a great time, we were able to raise enough money to keep our annual dues at the same low rate in previous years, while earning extra cash to present fun, new events, like the Raingutter Regatta and the Chabot Outdoor Pack Meeting.

In an effort to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to participate, please note the following guidelines:

1.) At least one parent is required to be with their participating scout in this fundraiser but the entire family is most welcome to join and have fun.
2.) Each shift must have at least 1 Scout Leader present. There will be no more than 4 scouts present inside the booth during any shift.
3.) Try to remember to maintain a Scout attitude while participating in this fundraiser. Don't forget that you are all perfect 1776 Gentlemen. We should always thank those who we have asked and always wish them a good day, to encourage proper attitude demonstrating good manners and conduct. Class A uniform.

As a reminder, we are participating in a Memorial Day grave decoration this year at Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno on Saturday, May 28th. This is typically one of the most meaningful events of the year, given the importance of the holiday and direct involvement the scouts will have in honoring our nation's fallen heroes. The ceremony will begin promptly at 8:30am and we will likely be completed with the flag planting by 10:30am.

Please take a moment and RSVP for this event so we know how many patches to order for our pack. You can do so through the evite link below:

The Giants are proud to support Boy Scouts of America with our annual Boy Scout Night! Come out early to enjoy a pre-game Scout tailgate for all scouts, their families, and friends, located in Seals Plaza (directly behind the ballpark by the ferry dock) from 11am-1pm. Additionally, all uniformed scouts and scout leaders in attendance are invited to participate in a pre-game honor ceremony on the field (Line will form on the Portwalk, adjacent to Seals Plaza). Everyone who purchases the Boy Scout Day special event ticket will also receive a Giants-themed Boy Scout patch, only available through this ticket offer. Partial proceeds from each special event ticket will be donated to Boy Scouts of America, benefitting scouts in the Bay Area and nationwide. Bring out the whole troop for what is sure to be a special day for Scouts of all ages!  Learn more and buy tickets here.

Sending a quick reminder the Raingutter Regatta pack meeting is tonight at 7:00pm, and class B (pack t-shirts) are the attire. Usual location...Coyote Creek MPR. Boys will probably get a little wet, so no need for the full class A uniform.

The event tonight will be a lot of fun, and our goal is fun and SAFE! With water comes some risk. Our priorities are safety first, then fun, and we will have both! Most of the leaders will be busy running the races, so please help us keep the boys safe by monitoring the boys and areas around the tracks for spilled water. If you see water on the floor please help keep the floors around the track dry. There will be towels and a mop.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight!

Thanks,

Steve

Don't forget, we have a Pack Meeting tomorrow, Wednesday evening at the MPR, 7:00.

Many of you will be advancing to the next levels of scouting. You have worked so hard this year in your den meetings under the guidance of our World Class Den Leaders and parents, that you have completed your achievements.

Awards Chair Ammy Pluth picked up all of the necessary awards. (She loves to shop, by the way).

Tigers are graduating to Wolves

Wolves are graduating to Bears

Bears are graduating to Webelos I's

Remember at our last meeting, Webelos I's graduated to Webelos II. Pretty cool, now it's your turn.

We will sing a couple of songs. Since you guys are grown up, I say we pull out the Marshall Amp and Gibson Les Paul, save the acoustic for camping.

Plus, Committee Chair Steve and I have a surprise graduation present for you. It's a surprise. That means you have to see it for yourself! You'll need it for our last pack meeting of the year in May.

Get Ready to Rock and Roll Forward Tomorrow!
