Cub Pack 443 set for busy holiday season

In November, some of the boys participated in the Veterans Day parade in Salisbury, Advancement Day, and went to Horizons for a planetarium show.

The Core Value for December is “Respect,” where the Scouts will develop an appreciation and respect for different families and traditions.

The Core Value for January 2012 is “Positive Attitude,” where the boys will participate in various activities and come to understand that all things change and they can make a difference in how that change affects their lives. A positive outlook will provide hope and excitement for their future.

Regular Monday night meetings will be held at St. John’s on Dec. 5 and the pack meeting will be Dec. 12.

The January Monday meetings are Jan. 9, 16 and 23 with the pack meeting on Jan. 30. The Bear den meets from 6:30-7:30 p.m. All other dens meet from 7-8 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.
