Monday, March 26th is the annual Blue & Gold Dinner at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church (839 W. Market Street). The cost for this dinner is $5.00 per guest—Scouts eat for FREE! Children under the age of 5 also eat for free.

Tickets must be purchased in advance of the event.  

The Blue & Gold Dinner event is a dinner, awards ceremony and a whole lot more! Troop 19 & Troop 23 will have information about their local Boy Scout Troops, so you can have your Scout join when they are in 6th grade! There will also be a table with items from the Scout Store that you can purchase for your son’s uniform and other goodies!

This is the biggest and most important event of the year – you don’t want to miss it!
Please keep an eye out for the invitation which your Scout will be bringing home from program. RSVP’s and money are due no later than March 19th!

You may have seen postings that the York City Fishing Derby was being held on April 7th. This date is incorrect!       The York City Fishing Derby at Kiwanis Lake will be held on March 31st, from 8am until noon! Make sure that when you arrive at the lake you check in with Miss Jess at the Scout Table so your Scout can get credit for attending, and work on the requirements to earn his fishing belt loop!

The Mall Show is this Saturday, February 4th from 10am until 4pm at the York Galleria Mall. Scouts can participate in various activites, crafts and games and even earn some requirements toward Belt Loops!
Scouts in Uniform will receive discounts at various stores in the mall. Make sure to check in at the registration table in the center court area to hear about those opportunities!
If you have a pinewood derby car and would like to race it, bring it to the Mall Show! Check in with the Derby Track to sign up for the next available race! This is a GREAT event that you do not want to miss!

The Cub Scout After School Program is back in action! Programs have begun this week and will continue until the end of Apil. Please note: If there is a school closing due to weather, we will not have programs.

Your Scout will be bringing home a paper copy of the calendar and all the dates that programs will meet. Please keep this somewhere visible so you know if and when your son has Cub Scouts! If you need another calendar, please email Jessica Yaden at jessica.yaden@scouting.org.

Also, don’t forget to check out the newsletter to find out about upcoming events and chances for your Scout to work on various awards! The Mall Show is February 4th  and we are still looking for volunteers to help us at our booth.

SEE YOU SOON!

Please note that if there is a half-day or early dismissal due to weather, the after school program will not meet! If you aren’t sure whether or not there will be program, feel free to call Miss Jess at 717-827-4564.
