TO Croton's Cub Scouts PACK 28 parents who are going to CUB SCOUT Thunderbirds GAMES:

Please read the below & attached carefully.

*** DO NOT BE CONCERNED IF IT RAINS - looks like there MAY be showers (NOT RAIN) - if it showers, we get a little wet. Showers never hurt anyone. The games will be on - RAIN OR SHINE. Might turn into a scouting Woodstock - less the unscoutinglike behavior. The Scouts will be prepared for rain if it does occur. Managing and embracing precipitation is a big part of Scouting. Just a little commentary.

Webelos parents:

Below are the specifics for the WEBELOS GEOLOGY FIELD TRIP.

**** THIS EVENT IS ON - RAIN OR SHINE. LOOKS LIKE THERE MAY BE SOME SHOWERS, BUT NO RAIN. WORST CASE, WE'LL MEET IN THE PAVILION AT THE PARK, which is right by the parking lot. The place where you see people using the grills inside the shelter.

CHECK OUT ANNOUNCEMENT AND EMAILS - BE PREPARED - BE THERE ON TIME - BRING BACKPACK TO COLLECT SAMPLES - ASK YOUR PARENTS TO LET MR MCGARTY KNOW IF YOU ARE COMING, AS PER EMAIL. I NEED TO KNOW HOW LARGE CROWD WILL BE.
