Dear Scout, Parents, and Leaders,

Due to severe weather forecasts, including thunderstorms and heavy rain with the potential of tornadoes in multiple forecasts, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our meeting today Monday, March 16th.

The safety of our Scouts and volunteers is our top priority, and the conditions are not suitable for safe meetings.

Thank you for your understanding and for "Being Prepared."

Yours in Scouting,
David Fortunato
Pack 43 Committee Chairman
