You've had a great Roundup!  There are still some boys out there that  want to join your Pack and be Cub Scouts.  Why not give them the chance?  Here's an offer you can't refuse.  A two for the price of one and they are FREE (you're not likely to get his offer often)!  Advertise your Pack Meeting or an exciting Pack Event and the fabulous

Call or email your friendly District Exec with the time, date, place, Pack contact info and number of flyers required to take advantage of this amazing, limited time offer.  You'll be glad you did! email of call:

Back of Card

Here's another idea to grow your pack.  Post "get it all" posters at the elementary schools that you serve to let the boys and parents know that they can join Cub Scouts ANYTIME.  Don't forget to include contact information for interested parents and boys to call.  We've got limited number of 17 x 22 posters and lots of 8.5 x 11 flyers that you can use with YOUR message.

Follow-up with the official "BRING-A-FRIEND-TO-CUBS-KIT.  Have your boys invite their friends to join the Pack.  Call or email your friendly District Exec with the time, date, place, Pack contact info and number of flyers required to take advantage of this opportunity to offer more boys the opportunity to participate in YOUR quality Cub Scouting program.

Popcorn Pickup - A BIG THANK YOU!
...to all of you that participated in the Popcorn distribution on Friday , September 23th.  Your patience and your unsolicited assistance made an otherwise difficult task into just another thing that the folk's of Dunes Moraine have accomplished 100% (with class as always).  Your patience allowed us to distribute 35 pallets of popcorn to 16 units without error and that's amazing.  We were just 2 cases of popcorn short due to damage.  Special thanks to Alan Mayernik,  Ann Ballinger, Ed Witte, and the Malcolm family and all the unit Popcorn people who pitched in to make Scouting happen.  Finally an extra special thanks to Paul Burczak and the folks at Rexam who have continually exceeded all expectations in every way imaginable in order to help us out. YOU FOLKS ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!

Dunes Moraine - What is it?
In Porter County we are
standing on a flat bit of earth upon which two things have been piled:

  • Sand

  • Rocky glacial till

The piles of till, called "moraines", tell the story of advancing glaciers that deposited them in conveyor-belt fashion. The sand piles, called "dunes", tell the story of a lake that shrank by stages after the glaciers disappeared. The glaciers had pushed south; the lake receded northward. If you'd like to know more, visit the the Indiana National Lakeshore or click here.  The Dunes Moraine District Patch reflects geology of our district.
