Cheap Skate Scout Discount

Hello from Cheap Skate! We are writing to inform you of an awesome special going on at Cheap Skate that many other packs have already taken advantage of. Every Friday night from 6-10 pm we have a Scout Skate! During our Scout Skate we play family friendly music that everyone will enjoy. All scouts must be in uniform to receive the exclusive price of $4.00. This amount covers admission and skate rental which typically adds up to $8. Families and pack leaders will receive this discount too.
