Camp Stove

The AOLs spent some time learning how to make a camp stove and cook some delicious food!

Pizza Card

Pack 46 needs your help raising funds for camping equipment, program supplies, and more!  We are kicking off our Fall Fundraiser, Papa John’s Nifty 50 Pizza Cards!  Each $15 card sold gives the supporter 50% off their entire regular-priced online purchase at participating Papa John’s Pizza stores.  Scouts can collect cash or checks written to Cub Scouts Pack 46 using the sales packets distributed at the August pack meeting (due September 17), or they can direct supporters to www.pack46.com/pizza to purchase online until October 15!   
 
This fundraiser is completely optional but is a fantastic way for Scouts to develop confidence, interpersonal skills, and work towards achieving a goal.  We are also offering some exciting incentives for scouts to participate…
 
Scouts who sell at least 5 cards will receive a special Pack 46 pizza patch!
 
Scouts who sell at least 15 cards will get free entry to a Pack 46 Skate Party! (Date/Time TBD)

Scouts who sell at least 25 cards will have their Spring Dues or January Campout at the Zoo paid for (1 scout and 1 adult).  Scouts who sell 50 cards can get both!
 
Prizes for Top seller in each Den and Top seller in the Pack!
 
Paper packets with cash/checks are due at the September 17th  pack meeting and online sales will end at the October 15 pack meeting!
 
Frequently Asked Questions:

When are card orders due? Paper packets with cash/check payments are due September 17th – the next pack meeting. Online sales will stay open an additional month and end at the October 15th Pack Meeting.

If my scout sells 15 cards does that cover just the scout or parent for the Skate Party? The 15 cards sold covers one skater. Parents will be able to attend for free if not skating, and tickets will be sold to everyone who would like to attend regardless of number of pizza cards sold.

How do we get the code for the discounts? Individual cards will be distributed with a unique code that is good to receive 50% off an entire order online (only applies to regular-priced items) and can be used 18 times with an expiration of July 31, 2025.

When do we get the cards? The exact date and time are to be announced but it will be AFTER the September 17th pack meeting. We are hoping to distribute cards to scouts who turned in paper packets in September at the October pack meeting.  Scouts will then distribute cards to their supporters.

 How long are the cards good for? Cards expire 7/31/2025.

Which stores participate? Stores all across Florida and Twin Cities in Minnesota. Full list of store locations can be found at www.pack46.com/pizza.

Can I sell more than 50 cards? Absolutely! Sell as many cards as you can to be the overall highest winner in your den or even the pack!

Can people purchase more than one card? Yes! People are welcome to purchase as many cards as they would like.  If they do not wish to receive all or any of the cards they purchase, they may donate directly to the pack and scouts will still get credit for every $15 donated. This has been a popular option for family and friends out of town purchasing on www.pack46.com/pizza that still want to support Scouting.  Each scout will receive credit for every $15 sold regardless of whether a supporter wishes to receive a card.

How have Scouts been successful selling these cards in the past? Great question! Here are some ideas:

First, practice your pitch – Include who you are, what you’re selling (Papa John’s Nifty Fifty Cards that gives 50% off online orders 18 times until July 31st, 2025), why you are selling it (to raise money for your Cub Scout Pack), and how it benefits you (Camping trips, cool adventures, etc.). 

Look sharp!  Wear your uniform or Pack 46 T-Shirt when you are out and about asking for support.

Start with friends and family – These folks WANT to support you, and they are great for practicing your pitch!

Make a video asking for support and post it on social media – Include the link to www.pack46.com/pizza so people all over can support your effort.  Make it clear that if they live out of town, they can still go online and support Scouting and donate to the pack!

Thank you to all who were able to stop by and participate in the first Pack 46 meeting for the school year! We had an amazing turnout and had the pleasure of meeting some great families! The kids had a blast with the planned activities, and hopefully the registrations went smoothly for the parents. On that note, it’s never too late to join the pack!
