The Pack needs your help!

July 16, 2009 by

Pack 803 needs new leaders to replace our out-going leaders. The pack can only be successful if parents take the time to support the scouts in the pack. Without volunteers the pack will be forced to simply not run specific dens until leaders step forward.

We currently have the following positions open:

We will not be having a Webelos I, Bear, or Tiger Den this year if we do not get parental volunteers for those open den leader roles listed above.

For those interested in volunteering for any of our open positions please contact Matt Hess at (303) 747-5607 or mxhess (at) gmail (dot) com. Refunds for all direct training costs will be provided for those showing course completion/certification. Resources are available to aid in guiding den leaders with activities, ideas and plans. All leaders are exempt from being asked/expected to volunteer with other pack activities such as coordinating specific events.

July pack family camp out

June 18, 2009 by

Due to a lack of interest and partial payments collected the pack’s family camp out scheduled in July will be canceled. All who paid will receive a refund. We apologize for any inconvenience. This was a financial decision made by the committee based on low sign up numbers. We may possibly try again for later this year or to hold a camp out next year depending on feedback collected by den leaders.

ScoutTrack -> ScoutManage

May 27, 2009 by

We are moving our scout tracking information to a new system at www.scoutmanage.com. All parents (that we have on record) have a new userid for the new website in the format of (firstname)(lastname). Your password will be your lastname with a 1 on the end.
Example:

Name: Joe User
user: joeuser
pass: user1

There are some usernames in the format of (first letter of first name)(last name) due to length limitations. If your first name and last name combined total more than 14 characters then your login will be the following example.

Example:
Name: Joe User
user: juser
pass: user1

The move will save the pack money and give us better capabilities to track awards earned/given out. Handle online event registrations, offer a more public calendar that ties in with our website and many more features to better support the pack! This is a step forward for the pack and your continuing support is appreciated.

The move officially happens after the pack graduation (June 6th) and scouttrack will be disabled for all users at that time. This information is being offered in advance in the hopes that the transition will be easier.

Please input all new information after the end of May 2009 into the new scoutmanage system.

There is a large amount of information for help in getting around the new system offered online at The ScoutManage Online Wiki.

Pack 803 Graduation

May 22, 2009 by

Our graduation picnic has been organized! We will be having it on Saturday, June 6, from 10 am-2 pm at Castlewood Canyon State Park (see below for directions). We will have 1 of the main shelters for our party. The pack will be providing grilled hamburgers & hot dogs, as well as drinks, and smores for everyone attending. The rest will be potluck, and we’re asking that each family bring either an appetizer, side dish, or dessert to the party.

We will be providing a sign up sheet at this month’s pack meeting. That’ll be the only opportunity to let us know that your scout & family will be attending, & what you’d like to contribute unless you otherwise reply by email. We would like to get a somewhat accurate head count so that we may be able to provide enough, so please make sure to visit the sheet that evening or let us know through email.

Besides the actual graduation & picnic, we will also provide numerous activities to entertain. It should be fun for the whole family. We’re also providing many volunteer opportunities to help us make this graduation a success, so please let us know if you’d like to provide your services to help us in any capacity. We would greatly appreciate it & we’ll discuss this more at pack meeting.

Our tentative schedule is as follows:

* Pre-graduation hike organized by Paul Schaum. If any other adults is interested in helping Paul with organizing this & he’ll appreciate the help, please let him know. Also, if you’ll be interested in joining the hike group, please let him know. More details about this should follow.
* 10 AM-Picnic officially starts. If there is any one that would like to help with receiving & organizing the food and subsequent buffet please let either Ann Adams or Maria Chen know.
* 10:30 AM-The pack will start grilling. If you’d like to help out on the grill, please let us know.
* Eating & being merry should be around 11-ish to noon-ish.
* 1 pm-Start of our Graduation ceremony.
* After ceremony, there’ll be some important pack announcements + pack graduation photo.
* 2 pm-End & Clean up. We would appreciate any one interested in staying a little behind & helping us to clean up. Let us know.

Throughout the picnic, & besides the other things to do at the park, there’ll be other activities we have organized such as a Scavenger Hunt, games, & general play for both the scouts & lil ones. Please see Maria Chen if you’d like to be a part of this. Any help in this department would be greatly appreciated.
