Lad and Dad Cake Bake: New rules to know about

cakeShipThe November pack meeting is less than a week away, which means it’s time to start thinking about your entry in the annual Lad and Dad Cake Bake!

New rules are in effect this year requiring that cakes be made of predominantly edible materials. They’ll also be sampled, although taste will not be taken into account as part of the judging.

Because they’ll be sampled at the pack meeting, cakes should also include a list of any potentially allergic ingredients. Parents, please assume all cakes contain allergens unless they’re specifically labeled allergen free.

As always, Tigers can enter cakes illustrated any way they and their adult partners please. Other scouts must enter cakes decorated to one of four themes: Scouting, holidays, sports or transportation.

For full rules and inspiration, please visit the Lad and Dad page of the website!

Don’t know what to bring on the campout? We’ve got you covered

cal-0814-cl2-camping-13Fall family camping coordinator Michael Rennick has put together a list of gear that may come in handy for those of you attending Fall Family Camping Oct. 23-25 at Stone Mountain Park.

This list may be particularly useful for anyone new to camping, but it’s also a good refresher for the more veteran campers among us.

Remember, if you’re lacking gear, ask around to other families in your den or the pack before heading out to buy expensive outdoor equipment that you may only rarely use.

Pack-564-T-shirt-design-conceptOur new pack t-shirts are done and will be available at Tuesday night’s pack meeting!

If you pre-ordered a shirt and paid for it, all you’ll need to do is pick yours up. If you pre-ordered but did not pay, or have not yet ordered one, you will need to bring cash or check to the pack meeting. Shirts are $10 each. Limited quantities of each size are available for purchase if you did not pre-order. New scouts and new leaders will receive one shirt at no cost.

These shirts replace the red Class B t-shirts and should be worn under the Class A uniform and anytime the den or pack leader calls for Class B uniforms.

Spring trip: Save the date!

ussyorktownWe expect to begin taking registrations soon for our Spring Trip Feb. 27-28 to the Patriots Point and the USS Yorktown. Please mark these dates on your calendar.

More details about the trip and a registration form will be made available as soon as possible on the event page.

A few things to think about as you mull your travel plans:

  • Overnight camping is $75 per person, with an extra fee for additional programs
  • A parent must accompany each child; berths are separated by gender
  • Children under the age of 6 are not allowed to spend the night aboard ship. You will need to make alternative arrangements to overnight
  • Day passes will be available for $10
  • You should plan on being at the dock before 9 a.m. for boarding. Patriot’s Point wants our entire group on hand before we board.
