“Spring into Action!”

1. Pack 5 Newsletter March 2010 “Spring into Action!” “Spring into Action!” is the theme this month. That means going outside and being active and also taking action with our deeds, not just our words. We want to look for opportunities to be active and fit, enjoy nature, and take action in our community and individually to help other people. Way to Go! Pack 5 wrote more than 30 letters to our troops abroad and overflowed the donation box with “urgent needs” such as food, clothing, and hygienic products donated at the B&G.
