As we head into the spring and Blue and Gold banquet, we have quite a few adult volunteers moving or crossing over with their scouts. We are hoping that over the holiday break, you will consider one of these positions. We will need to fill the following positions:

Parents of Pack 127

 As we discussed at the recent pack meeting, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) has significantly raised their annual registration fees at a time when we had already collected most of our annual dues.  We are in the process of re-chartering the pack for 2020. To prevent asking our scouts and leaders to pay additional fees, the committee has reworked our budget and made some hard decisions to reduce our costs. While these changes will not reduce the quality of the program, we have decided to discontinue subsidizing each scout’s annual subscription to Boy’s Life magazine. This is an excellent monthly magazine that the scouts enjoy getting, but it has always been an option to subscribe.

All adult leaders who work directly with youth  must complete BSA's Youth Protection Training (YPT).  We are required to have a registered female over 21 who has completed YPT in each activity where girls are present.  We don't want to have to turn a young scout away because we don't have the necessary leadership in place.  Go to my.scouting.org, create an account, and take YPT (on the upper right portion of your screen, is a red round circle about 3"), click that and away you go. 

Crystal Quinlan is the point person for the sales of our Class B uniform items. So if you need a t shirt, hat, sweatshirt, or whatever, reach out to her at a meeting or at her email address: ClassB@pack127md.org.

As shared to you at our last pack meeting the pack needs a couple of very important people.  I am hoping that some of you will step forward.  Call Bruce (410.456.2500) if you can help.  We need:

I'd like to thank Deb Brown who has agreed to take on the role of Recruiting Chair.  She is sliding over from webmistress of our pack website to fill this critical role in the life of the pack.  Deb has a marketing background and the drive to ensure the Pack recruits our next generations of scouts.  I can't thank her enough for her help.
