Welcome our New Cubmaster!
Published April 24, 2012 | We are happy to announce that Pack 991 has a new Cubmaster:
Royal Robinson!
Who is Royal? I’m sure you’ve seen him around. His son is in Den 2 (one of the Bear Dens), and he’s been a participant in many Pack events, including the 4th of July Parade, two years running. Although he was not a uniformed leader, Royal has been a constant contributor to the success of our Pack. For example, in the picture to the right, he’s busy filling out those fantastic certificates that the boys received at the Raingutter Regatta.
Let’s all give him a wonderful welcome to his new role in the Pack. When you see him at the Picnic, take a moment to say hello!
As Big Dave said around the campfire at the last meeting, every family contributes to the creation of a great and sustaining Pack – let’s all figure out how we can contribute our little bit to make the fire just that much bigger.

Pack 991 is Getting Class B Uniforms
Published April 24, 2012 | 
A Class B uniform is a t-shirt or sweatshirt with a Cub Scout logo, and the scout’s choice of shorts or pants. They are perfect for less formal occasions, such as when scouts are not interfacing with the general public representing scouting, and when the scouts are hiking, camping, or sports events.
Pack 991 is purchasing Class B Uniforms for all scouts registering for the 2012-2013 year and we thought that a few parents might also like to order one for themselves or additional sweatshirts for the kids.
ORDERS ARE CLOSED
Serve our Veterans, May 2
Published April 22, 2012 | 
- when: Wednesday, May 2, 2012, 5:30PM
- where: Elks Lodge, Emerald Hills
- coordinator: Lynette van Dell
Pack 991 Cub Scouts have the opportunity to serve our Veterans dinner on May 2nd at the Elks Club. If your scout would like to participate then please rsvp to Lynette van Dell. There will be about 30 veterans so it’s a slightly smaller group this round. We need about 8 Cub Scouts for the event. The vets will arrive at 5:30, get seated and we serve them appetizers, salad, steak and dessert. The cubs and adult helpers will eat after the Veterans are served. This is a great opportunity to serve the community. Scouts and their family who participate get to meet and talk with our vets as they serve them dinner, and earn a great steak dinner for themselves! Full uniform is required. (no holes in jeans or pants).
