AA County Schools Redistricting does not affect Pack 731
To the Scouts and families of Pack 731:
As you may have heard, the new Board of Education has voted on the boundaries for the new elementary school on Nantucket Road.
The leaders of Cub Scout Pack 731 want you to know that this does NOT affect your Pack in any way. Our charter organization is Prince of Peace Presbyterian, and the fact that we meet at Crofton Elementary has nothing to do with what school you attend - we just meet there because they have enough room to contain our large and active Pack!
All boys from anywhere in the greater Crofton/Gambrills area are welcome at Pack 731. At some future time, it is possible that a new Pack will form with the new school as its hub, although we do not know of any plans for a new Pack at this time. Our goal is to provide educational fun that instills Scouting values... for any boy who wants to join in.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

Service Project - this Saturday
Please join us for the Spring Outdoor Cleanup Service Project at Crofton Elementary School Saturday (April 19) - from 8:00AM - 11:00AM.
This project is planned for Tiger and Bear Dens, but Webelos and Wolves are welcome to participate as well.
Bring yourself, your family and rakes.
Breakfast of Donuts, Coffee and Juice- FREE
Pack 731 Class B Uniform for all participating Cub Scouts - FREE
Uniform of the Day: Class B t-shirts or t-shirts optional.
Help Needed:
Neither the school nor the county can pick up the bags of leaves. So we need 2 types of help:
1. If you live near the school, would you let us put bags of leaves in front of your house for regular recycling pick-up? We would bring them by Saturday after the clean-up. If so, please respond by email to Tim Spencer at
den9@croftonpack731.org and provide your address. You do not need to be home Saturday, nor do you need to be present at the clean-up. We just need your curb space!
2. We may need help hauling away bags of leaves if we don't get enough house volunteers- so please be prepared to take a few home.
Remember to bring your own RAKES and see you Saturday!
