Hi Folks,
A few short weeks remain before the end of our Scouting year. List of the year end events are below, and here's few reminders for the summer:

• I look forward to seeing everyone at the Taco Booth in the August at the Fair (more on that below).
• Tentatively plan for the first Pack meeting of next year to be the 3rd Wednesday in September. 

SPRING HIKE - 5/5
Craig Polley will be leading a Pack Hike next Saturday, 5/5.  We will be starting at Camp Marin Sierra, up Highway 20.  The same camp where we host our annual fall family campout.  Please meet at Marin Sierra at 9:45 am, with the hike starting promptly at 10:00.  Meet in the main parking lot.  You can expect the hike to last approximately 4 hours.  Please bring water, necessary food, and hiking gear.

MAY PACK MEETING / ADVANCEMENT CEREMONY - 5/20
Our May pack meeting is actually the end-of-year Advancement Ceremony.  This occurs on Sunday 5/20 from 3:00pm to 5:00pm.  The location is tentatively set for the lower picnic area (near the creek) at Pioneer Park.   This is a special event for the kids as they move on to the next rank.  Typically, the Lion's Club provides Hot Dogs and each Den is assigned to bring various sides to share.

We're still finalizing the specifics - stay tuned as we confirm the location and what each family should bring to share. 

TACO BOOTH SIGN-UP
I think most folks know the drill here - we REQUIRE that each family sign-up for a shift at the Lions Club Taco Booth at the Fair (August 8th - 12th).  The Lions Club supports our pack in a variety of ways - including monetarily.  All they ask in return is that we help staff the Taco Booth.  We will have a Sign-Up Sheet at the Advancement Ceremony.  Please review your schedules and plan to sign up for a time slot. 

OTHER UPCOMING DATES

• Taco Booth at the Fair, August 9th - 13th
