The Fall Family Camping trip is quickly approaching. This year we’ll be attending the Spooky-Ree at Bert Adams Scout Camp on the weekend of October 14-16. To find out more about the Fall Family Camping trip see here.

Popcorn sales will kick off at the September pack meeting. For more information about the popcorn fundraiser, see here.

Our back to the pack pool party is on Saturday, August 6th at the Mountain Park Aquatic Center from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. We have the entire outdoor area rented so please bring the whole family and enjoy it with us.  Please RSVP here, even if you are undecided, so that we have enough lifeguards on hand.

When: Saturday August 6th, 2022, 6:30 – 8:30 PM

Where: Outdoor Leisure Pool at the Mountain Park Aquatic Center

If your child is a rising 1-3 grader bring a snack to share (usually desserts are popular) and if you are a rising 4-5 grader bring drinks to share. The pack will provide paper goods (plates, cups and napkins). 
The park system has rules for swimwear so make sure you wear an actual swimsuit if you plan on swimming; no swimming in athletic shorts or  street clothes. If swim diapers are worn you must have a vinyl cover over them.
Dress Code for the Pool (including rules about swim diapers)

Remember, non-swimmers and children in life vests must have an adult in the water with them, and only pool noodles and Coast Guard approved life vests are allowed (no inflatable rings, floats, etc).  
Pool Rules, including what you can bring and rules for non-swimmers

We will be holding our Summer Campfire at 7 pm this Tuesday (July 12th) at Mountain Park United Methodist Church. Please bring a camp chair, something to drink, and a few songs to sing/skits to perform! The pack will be providing s’mores!

Each year we celebrate the Birthday of Scouting with some scouting history and trivia, recognize the volunteers who make our program possible, and everyone’s favorite Blue and Gold Cake Bake!

The Cake Bake is a friendly dessert decorating competition.  Taste is not part of the judging but we WILL EAT the entries after the meeting.  There is a division for Lions and Tigers, and these scouts can decorate their entries any way they want.  The older scouts will compete in the Cub division, and there are four categories for entries: Holidays, Transportation, Sports, and Scouting.  The rules and details can be found here: https://www.bsapack564.org/resources/cake/  Participation in the Cake Bake is OPTIONAL – and even if you don’t enter a dessert, please come help us celebrate and eat the desserts afterwards!
