IF THE ROOSTER DIES, BUY AN ALARM CLOCK

Join CUB SCOUT PACK 345 and the new BOY SCOUT TROOP in Valmeyer - - If you could give your boy the greatest gift of all, what would it be? It wouldn’t be money or anything money can buy. Whether you are rich or poor, the greatest gift is within your power because that gift is helping a boy become a person with a good feeling about himself and a genuine concern for others. Cub Scouting can help you provide this gift. Boy Scouting helps young boys build character, train in the responsibilities of participating in citizenship and in developing personal fitness. Recruiting for the 2001-2002 Cub Scout and Boy Scout programs will be in Valmeyer School’s Multi-Purpose Room on Thursday, April 19th at 7:00 p.m. Information will be provided, any questions you might have will be answered, and of course sign your son up. If you need additional information about the Cub Scouting program, contact Todd Hildreth at 935-0500. If you need additional information about the Boy Scouting program, contact Rick Roever at 935-2628.
