• ·       Pack Table at the Kindergarten Info Night on April 26^th – Michelle Anderson will be handing out Pack Brochures and answering questions about the Lion program for parents of incoming Kindergarten Boys.  If you are planning to stop by that event with your Pre-Schooler, please stop by and help her out.  We are NOT signing anyone up.  We are giving info and collecting contact info to reach out to families in the fall.
• ·       Scouting for Food will start out at 9am at the Hugo Legion.  We will split up into groups along with the Troop and work through a few key Hugo neighborhoods collecting Food and Cash Donations for the Hugo Good Neighbor’s Food Shelf.  Around 11:30, we will meet up in Lions Park for check-in and a Pizza lunch and some games.  Please join us for a great service project and a good experience working as a combined Pack and Troop.
• ·       Family Camping Weekend – May 4-6.  We will have Den, Pack and Troop activities planned, including Archery, Hiking, Bouldering and Games.  Webelos and Bears will work with the Troop all day Saturday and we will have a combined Dinner and Campfire on Saturday night. This is one of the best weekends of the year for our Pack.  With overnight and day-only options available and a reasonable cost, you don’t want to miss out on this weekend.  You can still sign up.  Please reply to this email or contact your Den Leaders to get signed up.
• ·       May 10^th Parent/Leader Pack Committee Meeting – This is the 1^st of 2 Planning meetings in May. We will make final plans for the May Pack meeting as well as put together a plan for Summer Pack events and set dates for Pack events next Fall & Winter.  Please join us to provide you input on what we should improve next year and what New Activities we should try to plan.  We will start at 7pm in the Hugo Legion Hall. Bring your kids with a quiet activity if you need to.
• ·       End of the Year Picnic Pack Meeting on May 21^st.  We are putting together another Taco potluck dinner and will have some end of the year awards and a ceremony to transition each Den to the next Rank Group, including Lions.

• ·       Good Neighbor Days Pancake Breakfast, June 10^th – We will need a group of Scouts to help clean up Lion’s Pack that morning, as well as a group to help parents run the Breakfast from 8-11am.  This is a fundraiser for the Pack and allows us to budget major purchases like our Pinewood Track upgrade last year.  Please plan to volunteer for 2 hours that morning.
• ·       Summer Resident Camp – Denise has covered this in her emails.  This is a reminder that we need those interested to get signed up very quickly.
• ·       Summer Pack Activities – More info to come.  If you want a say in what we do and when, please join us at the planning meetings on May 10^th and 24^th.
