Cub Scout Pack 549 Fundraising 2020

Help Support Cub Scout Pack 549

In past years Cub Scouts would have sold Popcorn door to door or in store fronts to cover the costs of our yearly programming. In order to ensure the safety of our community and ourselves, we’ve made necessary modifications to move to contact-less fundraising. Funds raised will go towards a fun virtual Pinewood Derby, recognition awards to reward scouts for their achievements, and supplies for den adventures.

For online popcorn sales that ship directly to you, check out the link below.  Online sales continue until the end of 2020.

Pack 549 Fundraising September 2020

Since 1930 Cub Scouts has provided children with an opportunity to try new things and face new challenges. Right now, Verona Cub Scout Pack 549 faces the challenge of adapting programming and activities to this “New Normal.” The biggest part of this challenge is in our yearly fundraising campaign. 

In past years Cub Scouts would have sold Popcorn door to door or in store fronts to cover the costs of our yearly programming. In order to ensure the safety of our community and ourselves, we’ve made necessary modifications to move to contactless fundraising. 

We have established a webpage to allow for online popcorn sales that ships directly to you.

We understand that this may not be the most convenient way to support our local pack
so we have also established a GoFundMe Page to allow you to make direct donations
to our pack. https://www.gofundme.com/f/pack-549-20202021-fundraiser

Information about Cub Scout Pack 549

Information about Cub Scout Pack 549

Do you know a boy or girl in grades K-5 who is interested in joining Cub Scouts?  If so, we would love to give you some more information about Cub Scouts---specifically Pack 549.

Pack 549 is a Cub Scout Pack for boys and girls in Verona, Wisconsin.  Our Pack (a large group) meets once a month during the school year.  Our meetings are usually the third Thursday of the month at Glacier Edge Elementary School.  We also have den meetings (small groups divided by grade) that meet a couple times a month.  The meeting days/locations vary by den.

In addition to the meetings, our Pack participates in several other activities.  Some examples of things we have done over the years are sleepovers in a WWII submarine, the National Mississippi River Museum/Aquarium, and Lambeau Field, tubing at Cascade Mountain, a day trip to the EAA museum in Oshkosh, day and overnight camps, and Pinewood Derby races.  There are also opportunities for Scouts to help their communities.

If you and your scout want to sign up to join us, applications can now be completed online at BeAScout, find us under zip code 53593, Cub Scout Pack 3549. You may also contact our Cubmaster Jeff Schwartz or our Committee Chair Christina Pier through email at any time. 

Thank you and we hope to meet you soon!
