Parent-Son Camporee is coming soon!
Who: All Cub Scouts and Parents
What: Parent Son Camporee
Where: Camp Raven Knob
When: Oct 11-13
Why: Lots of fun for the boys!
Cost: $25/parent. Cub Scouts are paid for by the Pack!
Details are available by hovering over Pack Events in the menu above, then click on Parent Son Camporee.
Signups are only for one week, 9/10 – 9/17.
This is not a family camping trip. Only registered scouts and their parent(s) can attend.
I would like to welcome our new members to our Pack! We had 20+ boys sign up last week. Every Den except for the WebelosII’s have new members! Existing scouts, please make sure our new scouts are welcomed into your Den.
This week would normally be a Leader Meeting. But the Pack Leadership decided over the summer that it wouldn’t be fair to get the boys all excited at the kickoff meeting and then make them wait 2 weeks for a Den Meeting. So we will have a Den Meeting this Tuesday and the Leader Meeting the following Tuesday.
So here’s our schedule for the remainder of the month:
9/10 7pm Den Meeting
9/17 7pm Leader Meeting
9/24 7pm Pack Meeting
We will have Committee Members available to direct you to the correct room this Tuesday.
Also, the Leader Meeting is open to all parents. In the meeting we discuss and make plans for upcoming events. We also will be providing Den Leaders with the following month’s Core Value. If you would like to provide input on how the Pack is run, this is the time to do it!!!
Here’s some important dates coming up:
8/20 7pm Leader Meeting
8/27 7pm 1st Den Meeting
9/3 7pm Kick-Off! Bring a friend!
Also, sign ups for Parent-Son Campout will begin on 8/27. Parent-Son will be at Camp Raven Knob 10/11-10/13.
Someone left these shoes at Resident Camp. Please get in contact with me if they’re yours.
We have been assigned the Seton campsite. This is an adirondack site. Each adirondack has 5 beds in it.
