Our boys have worked hard this past year and it is time to make sure their uniforms are in check and up-to-date. I, like many other parents, have problems remembering where to put patches on the uniform. So I would like to share with you a couple of common uniform patches.

Common patch placement

1. Outdoor activity patch - Right pocket flap. The same pocket the achievement beads hang from.
2. Arrow points (for Bears and Wolves) - Under the left pocket. Start with gold arrow just under the rank they belong to followed by a double row of the silver arrow points.
3. Service star - Just above the left pocket centered.

I will be posting the full inspection sheet later.

It's a new year but it's never too late to join the Cub Scouts.

School night to join Scouting will be held at the Ehrhardt Elementary cafeteria September 9th from 7 pm - 10 pm.  This event is for new scouts and their families.  That evening we will talking to the adults about the program as well as showing your new scout what it is like to be a Cub scout.

Don't forget, you are also invited to join existing scouts at our annual pool party at the Spring Creek Forest pool Sept. 5th from 6 pm - 9pm.  We will have music, pizza and fun.
