Cub Scout Pack 564 - Lilburn, GA
Preparing young boys and girls to become responsible, participating citizens, and leaders.
Scout Day at the Braves is coming up Sunday, Sept. 21 at Turner Field!
In addition to attending the game, scouts and their families will get a chance to walk around the field before the first pitch.
Tickets for new scouts are complimentary and $10 for everyone else. Purchase at the Scout Store, 203 Swanson Drive, Lawrenceville.
See the attached flyer for more details.
Registration has opened for fall family camping, Oct. 24-26 at beautiful Stone Mountain Park.
This is one of the highlights of the year, so you won’t want to miss it.
In addition to all the regular camping fun, we are planning to offer some belt loop clinics and a pack campfire, as well as the traditional Saturday night pack meal. All scouts, siblings and parents are welcome to attend. The cost is $8 per person per night, plus $2 for Saturday evening dinner.
An online registration and payment system is coming (hopefully!), but for now, you’ll need to register and pay in person before or after the pack meeting tonight or the Oct. 14 pack meeting (the registration deadline is Oct. 15). Please look for the registration booth in the back of the pack meeting room.
Please bring a check made out to BSA Pack 564 for payment of fees.
If you have questions about registration, please use the contact form and choose “camping” in the “I need information about” field.
Please let your den leader know if you are new to camping and need information, advice or assistance with gear.
Thanks for a great turnout at the kickoff. Now, get ready to sell! Visit our new popcorn page for all the details on the campaign, including key dates, frequently asked questions and resources such as selling tips, incentive details and forms. If you haven’t already, make sure you sign up for a shift at a military donation booth. Here are some other ways you can help boost sales:
Don’t forget, if your son sells $300 in popcorn and military donations, their pack dues will be taken care of for the year. Sell more, and your family can earn Cub Bucks to help offset the cost of pack activities such as Fall Family Camping and the Spring Trip. Plus, there are lots of great incentives the scouts can earn, as well!
As you have heard we are doing Popcorn Sales differently this year. I hope you will all make it to Monkey Joe’s on September 4th to learn what we are doing.
One of the things we are doing to help you reach your sales goal (which is set at an amount that will help you pay for scouting without having to pull a penny out of your pocket for pack events) is setup donation booths at the local Krogers. Below is a link to a sign-up sheet. We are asking every scout and a parent/guardian to work at least one 2 hour shift. with a limit of 2 scouts working each shift.
All the money raised during your 2 hour shift will be split between the scouts and credited on their sales forms to help you reach your sales goal. The first weekend in September we have 4 locations. That means 64 scouts can work the first weekend. ( Please do not sign up for two shifts on the first weekend.) Those who work will have a better chance at winning something at the September Pack meeting (hint hint).
I am looking forward to a GREAT year of scouting. And you can enjoy it WITHOUT paying a penny out of your pocket. I’ll tell you how onSeptember 4th.

Pack 564 is taking a brand new approach to funding our activities in 2014-2015, and it all starts with the Popcorn Kickoff, 6-8 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 4, at Monkey Joe’s in Tucker.
Would you like to go through an entire year of scouting without paying any money out of pocket? Plan to attend the kickoff event and learn how.
Bring your scouts and your calendars so you can sign up for time slots at local Kroger stores to begin selling and earning sales credits for your scout. The pack is doing everything possible to make scouting financially feasible for everyone.
