thanks for the suggestion. I have used all the cub and boy scout leaders emails posted on this scouter website (appoximately 30-40) for the Mississippi and Lousiana dens listed, and they have bounced back. So I thought I try this method. If I don't get a pack or den through this forum in the next day or so, my next step was going to be to write a snail mail to all councils in lousiana, texas, and mississippi. Thank you for the suggestion. We were just trying to keep it simple pack to pack or den to den, possibly set up penpals after it's all over, could lead to a great cross country friendship.
