Greetings Pack Families,

We were just made aware of an opportunity to volunteer at the Disney 1/2 Marathon on Sunday, September 1st, and earn a free Theme Park Pass!  Scouts must volunteer for the event and enthusiastically cheer for the runners for 3+ hours in order to receive the pass. Siblings and family members are also welcome to attend, but they are not eligible for a ticket. The one catch – the deadline to sign up is TOMORROW, MONDAY AT 3PM. Scouts must be at least 6 years old.  

Please sign up HERE right away if you think you even might be able to attend!

 

Here are more details from the event website.  Thanks to Karyn Reed who made us aware of this opportunity.
