It’s been a rough few months on all fronts. Pack 611 is still here, and we’re making plans for how best to start up the Scouting year this Fall. Our Cubmaster, Brandi Gill (cubmaster@pack611.org) is working with our Den Leaders to establish a program using distance methods.
If you’re new to Scouting and are interested in joining, please feel free to email myself (committeechair@pack611.org) or Brandi for more information.
Below is the list of activities for March. If you have any questions, please let me or Brandi Gill know.
