Balcones Park Clean-up and Pizza Party is scheduled for this Saturday.
This should be an important event for the pack. It is a great service opportunity for the boys, and an opportunity to get the kids together before school starts. It will be necessary to get a headcount if we are doing pizza.
We will start cleaning at 9:30. Plan on eating pizza at 11:30. Wear long pants and long sleeves, bring work gloves, and some water. See you there!
Please let your den leader know if you plan to attend!

DID YOU KNOW? There is a “World Adult Kickball Association” with two chapters here in Austin !
Well we aren’t going to play exactly the way the WAKA play but we’ll have fun none the less.
Attached is the WAKA Rule Book for any of you folks who are really, really board. We will use bits and pieces of the content of this document.
Don’t come expecting to learn “real” kickball . . . do come prepared for fun and interesting twists to an ever growing game that is not just for sand lots anymore.
SO, put on your sun screen, put on your deet, and bring a chair . . . . and have some fun at the “2nd Annual Pack 90 KICKBALL EXTRAVAGANZA! ”
Hope to see everyone there!
