Over the next few weeks, we will be recruiting for Cub Scouts at the elmentary schools in the district.  As a part of that, we can use help with signup nights.  You don't need any special skills or training, just be able to help new parents get registered and get some basic information about things like meeting times.  The signup nights typically happen in the evening at 6 PM and last about an hour, so it is not a huge commitment.  If you think you can help out, contact Howard at hjetmundsen@gmail.com for more information and details.

If you have adults or Scouts in your unit that are proficient in Spanish, their help would greatly be appreciated for Cub recruiting.  The specific need is to have people who speak Spanish on hand at several elementary school signup nights to help people whose first language is Spanish to fill our applications and to answer any questions that might arise.  If you have people that might be able to help, they can contact Howard at hjetmundsen@gmail.com or John Allen at john.allen3@scouting.org.

We are having a kickoff for Cub Recruiting July 19 at 7 PM at the Duluth First UMC Scout Hut.  !  It is VERY important that your pack is well represented at this event, so please plan on having several people there!  We will be talking Cub recruiting, but we will also have other information for your pack.  This will also be a terrific way to meet your peers from other Packs in the district.  It is going to be fun and informative.  To sign up, go to:

Thanks all who attended, and thanks all who helped this past Saturday!  We had a terrific time, and we are planning to do this again in the fall after all the new Cubs are recruited.  If you want to help with that, or if you want to do this for your pack, contact Howard at hjetmundsen@gmail.com.  We have the stuff!
