We are planning to retire our 50 plus year old Pack Flag and have the committe present a new one. (Cost about $100) We were going to fund raise to buy the flag but a former cubmaster and district comm has offered to buy the flag for us. We are going to see if the local museum will expect or old retired flag as we were the first pack in the region. Jonathan Hill Bear Den Leader Pack 47 Westwood, NJ

During sign up I asked if they wanted to do this, those that did I get their cell numbers and providers at the same time. Most people have unlimited texting these days.

You get their cell numbers and providers from then and then add the tel numbers to following.
