Scouting for Food a Big Success!

Thank you to all the scouts and their families who helped with our service project, Scouting for Food.


As a result of your hard work and the generosity of the Royal Oaks neighborhood, we were able to deliver more than 500 food and personal care items to the Emergency Food Pantry at Sunshine Place.


As we learned during our short tour of the food pantry, the shelves are very bare - especially considering the upcoming holidays - and the donations we delivered today are very much appreciated and needed.


Thank you again for your volunteer effort and your commitment to Pack 443!

Scouting for Food - Part 2

Saturday we will be completing the second half of our service project for the Sunshine Place Emergency Food Pantry.

Please meet in the parking lot of Royal Oaks at 1:00 p.m. where we will distribute maps for food pick up. This process should take 30 mins to 1 hour. 

Once the food is collected, we will count the items donated and deliver them to the food pantry.

Please return unsold popcorn to Mark this weekend or Monday morning

The sale ends today!  Congratulations and thanks for your work.

Per my email below, please return unsold popcorn this weekend

(or Monday morning).

I have to return it to the Council office before the end of the day Monday, or else we are stuck with it!

I'll be around most of this weekend (afternoons and evenings are best, Sunday morning is booked), or feel free to call (my cell phone is working again) and set up a time for this weekend, or Monday morning if you are out of town this weekend.

Also please bring in your money and order forms, and let me know what PRIZES to order for your scouts. I'll email the prize information again in case you don't have it.
I have to make prize orders to the Council by end of day TUESDAY.

Also by the end of day Tuesday, I have to order any popcorn

that you sold that either you didn't have in stock,

or I don't have in my garage.  So let me know if you need

anything along those lines.

I think that's it.  Thanks again!

Scouting For Food

Pack 443 will be holding our annual "Scouting for Food" drive over the next two weekends and we need your help!

Saturday Oct 22nd - Distribute Flyers
We will meet in the parking lot of Royal Oaks School at 1:00 pm to help distribute flyers to the Royal Oaks neighborhood. The process should take 1-2 hours depending on how many families we have participate.

Saturday Oct 29th - Food Pick-up
Again we'll meet in the Royal Oaks parking lot at 1:00 pm to begin the food pick up. This process goes much faster and should take no longer than one hour.

The food donations we collect will be taken to the Sun Prairie Emergency Food Pantry at the Sunshine Place.


If you have any questions, please contact Rebecca Dodson

Pack Meeting Thurs. Night 6:30 at Aldo Leopold Nature Center in Monona

Hello Families,

For this month's pack meeting we will be doing a night walk at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center in Monona, beginning at 6:30. Please dress for the weather.

It takes around 20 minutes to get to Aldo Leopold from Royal Oaks School, so last year we did some carpools from the school which left at 6:00 p.m. Please email comchairpack443@gmail.com if you can drive on Thursday night, and also email if you are looking for a ride for your scout.

Directions to Aldo Leopold and a map can be found at http://www.naturenet.com/alnc/direct.html

Here are the directions:

Take the South Beltline (Hwy 12-18) to Monona Drive. Exit North and continue past the Monona Drive/Broadway Street intersection.

Turn East on Femrite Drive and pull into the driveway after the Monona Meadows sign on the North side of the street. There is a sign for the Aldo Leopold Nature Center and Monona's Woodland Park.

Follow the driveway up the hill; the Nature Center is located just south of the main parking lot. All buses must park in the first parking lot. This is also where students will greet the Naturalists.
