Baseball Game and Swim Party UpdateThe post-game campout on the 19th of July has been canceled. Also the RSVP deadline for the game has been extended to NOON Thursday, July 10. Please make sure to email Bob Mason and let him know how many of your family would like to see the game, and which of your scouts will be coming. Please have your scout(s) wear their yellow scout T-shirt to the game. Bob will be handing tickets out at the gate and also collecting money for the tickets. If your scout does not have one of the T-shirts, Bob will have a few extras available for purchase, as well as the new T-shirts that parents may have ordered last month. He will be collecting payment for the shirts at the gate also.
Lastly, the swim party previously scheduled for the 19th of July has been moved to the 26th of July. This event takes place at the Buckner Aquatic Center from noon until 5pm.

Swim Party Update (Again)The grilling area for the cookout at the swim party was not available to us on the 26th, so we have rescheduled this even for Sunday, July 27th instead. It will now begin at 2:00pm and run until about 6:00pm. The pack will be providing Hotdogs and Buns, starting at 4:30pm. We encourage everyone to bring something to the cookout (chips, soda, potato salad, etc). Please RSVP by July, 18th to Lynn Boon and include what you plan to bring to the cookout.
The swimming pool is not free. The admission fee is: 2 and under $0, 3-12 $4, 13-59 $5, and 60+ $3. If you do not want to attend the swimming portion, but still want to come to the cookout we'd be happy to have you and your scout there.

T-shirts! Lynn Boon is planning to place an order for t-shirts the week of June 23. The tee’s are yellow with navy graphics and are made of 100% cotton. Sizes are available in Adult sizes S-XXL and Youth sizes XS (2-4), S (6-8), M (10-12) and L (14-16). Here's the logo on the backside of the shirt:
Please be aware that the Youth tee’s seem to run small. For example, the Youth size Small (6-8) seems to be more adequate for children wearing sizes 5 and 6 rather than those wearing sizes 7 and 8. Therefore, you may want to consider ordering up one size for your child.
Please let Lynn Boon know by Friday, June 20 if you’re interested in placing an order. If so, please send her the number of shirts you wish to order along with the appropriate sizes. Please specify Adult or Youth. The cost per t-shirt is estimated to be $7 per shirt.
P.S. The logo t-shirts are acceptable attire for den meetings, “go-see-its” and other scout activities!

A Few Announcements... We would like to welcome the newest scouts and their parents to Pack 998. Also, congratulations to the scouts who received tons of awards, badges, medals, pins, and various advancements during the last Awards Ceremony. Our scouts worked hard last year and it showed at the ceremony.There has been a "change of command" in the leadership of Pack 998. Our new Cub Master is Bob Mason, and his new Assistant Cub Master is Stacey Powell. If you have any concerns to address with the overall Pack 998, these are the folks to contact. Also Kenny Hays has stepped down as the webmaster of our website. I (Jason Powell) have now taken over that duty. If there are any questions or concerns about the website, please feel free to contact me at jason.powell@insightbb.com. A new Pack 998 Roster has been created. If you have not received this and feel that you should have, or are not on the roster and should be, please contact Lynn Boon at lboon@sypris.com.
Campout this weekend! Don't forget, we have a campout this weekend at Morengo Cave in Indiana, June 7-8 from 3pm Saturday, until 3pm Sunday. Emails should have gone out, but with the new roster, some of you may have not received it. Let me know if you are not getting event emails.
Content! We've always seemed to have a hard time getting content for us to post on our pack website, namely pictures. Now, I know most of us have digital cameras by now, so it's time to figure out what cable plugs into where on your computer and your camera, how to load the imaging software, and start sending us pictures of your scouts in action!
Finally, for anyone interested (and not attending the campout), the annual Wings For Kids Kosair for Kids charity event is scheduled for this weekend, the 7th and 8th. This is an event where some of the top model aircraft pilots in the country come together to fly extremely expensive model aircraft in a spectacular demonstration of aerobatic skills and precision flying. These are NOT $30 Radio Shack styrofoam aircraft! These are miniature versions of the real thing...if you can call an 8 foot wingspan "miniature". The price of admission of course goes to our local Kosair for Kids charity fund, so it is for a good cause. If you can't make the campout, this is a good event to take your scout to. The admission is a suggested donation of $3 per person or $10 per vehicle (no matter how many are in said vehicle). The event takes place at E.P."Tom" Sawyer State Park in Louisville. For more information on the event, please go to the Wings for Kids '08 website.
