In addition to our Rank Advancement ceremony, we will be doing a fun project with recyclables at our March Pack meeting. Please start saving cleaned recyclable items that the boys can use to make a "recycled masterpiece." Suggestions include bottles, bottle caps, strawberry baskets, paper towel/toilet paper rolls, cans & small boxes. Then, bring the items to our March Pack meeting (Monday, March 12). Thanks for your help!

As a service project to our school, Pack 623 is planning to partner with PHE to care for a planter or two on the school grounds. Dens will work together to plant and maintain our planter(s), with dens taking turns weekly/bi-weekly to maintain our "garden." We do have a liason with Mr. Rawlins (who has given us permission to plant), but we need a volunteer or two to help coordinate this project (make a plan for the planter, select/purchase soil & plants, show the boys the proper way to plant, etc). Costs will be reimbursed by the Pack ~ we're looking for your time, not your money :) We hope to launch the "Pack 623 Planter" project on the weekend of March 31/April 1. If you might be interested, please contact Doug (cubmaster@pack623.com) or Jill (pack623@pack623.com).

Now that the cold weather is upon us, you might consider adding a Pack long-sleeved t-shirt or hooded sweatshirt to your son's closet (or pick one up for yourself!) The cost is $15 for long-sleeved t-shirts & $20 for the hooded, pull-over sweatshirts (cash or check to "Pack 623"). They are available in children's sizes M & L, and adult S, M, & L. Contact Jill to request a shirt/sweatshirt at pack623@att.net.
