I wanted to share an update regarding paying for ice skating tomorrow. 

To receive a group discount, the pack will be paying for the event and will require reimbursement via Square, cash, or check, for any non-scout participants.

• Date: Saturday, January 10, 2026
• Time: Please arrive by 2:45 PM to get fitted for skates. Our ice time is from 3:00 PM - 4:45 PM.
• Location: Sno-King Ice Arena Snoqualmie, 35323 SE Douglas St, Snoqualmie, WA 98065
• Cost: $14 per person (includes skate rental and ice time).
  • The Pack will cover the cost for all registered Scouts.
  • Families are responsible for paying for siblings and parents at the time of the event. 

• Wavier:  All participants need to complete the waiver prior to skating.  If a participant is under the age of 18, then their parent/guardian must complete the waiver
• Waiver Link:  https://apps.daysmartrecreation.com/dash/index.php?cid=snoking&action=kiosk-iframe&facilityID=3&nocart=1&tags=Cub%20Scout%20Pack%20568&quickkiosk=1&nocheckin=1

 What to Bring/Wear

• Wear your Pack activity t-shirt with warm, comfortable layers: It's cold in the rink! Sweaters and jackets are recommended.
• Socks: Thick, tall socks are best for comfort and warmth.
• Gloves or mittens: Great for keeping hands warm and safe.
• Helmets (optional): Helmets are encouraged for all, especially younger or new skaters.
• Water bottle: Skating can be a workout, so staying hydrated is important.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!!

We are excited to announce the launch of our annual See's Candy holiday fundraiser!  The fundraiser will run from November 1 through December 5.  While there’s no obligation to join in, See’s candies make wonderful holiday gifts.  Orders ship as they are placed and should all be delivered by Christmas. 

The proceeds from this event help cover our operating expenses, fund Den and Pack activities, and provide scholarships so all youth in our community can participate in scouting. To keep our efforts focused on scouting, please take a picture or video of your scout in full uniform and highlight that all money raised supports our Pack. Sharing is simple: create a post or send an email to friends and family with your scout’s photo or video, mention the great activities we’re doing this year, include the purchase link, and thank them for supporting scouting. All items are shipped directly to the address provided at checkout. Please note, this is an online-only event—no in-person sales. 

As a note, our pack receives 50% commission on the “Festive Ornaments Box” and “Santa’s Helpers Box” (the first two items in the storefront), 15% on gift cards, and 20% on all other items.   

This year we will be running a Den competition to see which den can sell the most candy!  The winning den will be announced at the December pack meeting.
