Gas prices have risen to be a big expense this year, making it
expensive to go to Scouting events. The cost for summer camps this
year ranges from $73 to $240, so the boys have a lot of work to do.
Cubmaster Jason Schafer, who is leading the effort, has a passion to
make Scouting accessible and affordable to any boy who wants to be
involved. Many of the boys in Pack 111 would not be able to afford
to go to camp if they couldn’t earn it, and some would not be able
to be in Scouting at all if they could not earn their way. Some of
the boys are earning their entire way through Scouting.
The pack has placed orders for over 30,000 candy bars and has
already sold over 20,000.
The pack will be at the Lincoln Walmart this weekend for the last
time this season. Please support the boys by buying $1 candy
bars when you see them at Walmart or other places around town.
Any boy going into first to fifth grade this fall is eligible to
join Cub Scouts. Call Mr. Schafer at 217-737-3068 for information
about joining.
