What’s happening at the October pack meeting

pack meeting

Due to a scheduling conflict, we’ll be meeting in the Camp Creek Elementary School cafeteria instead of at Mountain Park United Methodist Church. The meeting time remains 7 p.m.

This meeting will be your last opportunity to sign up for fall family camping, so make sure to reserve a campsite for your family at the registration table at the pack of the meeting room! If you haven’t paid your fees for camping, please remember to bring a check payable to BSA Pack 564!

The pack is planning a variety of activities, including opportunities to earn belt loops and a  pack dinner and campfire. Volunteers are needed to run belt loop sessions. Please contact Cubmaster Lance Wallace if you’d like to help.

You’ll also be able to sign up to attend the Pack Night at the Gwinnett Gladiators on Jan. 10.

And den leaders will be choosing a neighborhood to distribute Harvest for the Hungry food collection bags on Nov. 1, with pickup one week later.

Finally, don’t forget to bring your popcorn forms and money! We’ll be tallying up sales since the last pack meeting and raffling off more prizes.

Webelos Woods is coming up

Webelos logoThe Northeast Georgia District is once again offering Webelos Woods camping at Scoutland.

Having been in the past, it’s a great way to help your Webelos scouts earn activity badges and meet their requirements. It’s also just a lot of fun.

There are already Webelos from Pack 564 going, so if you are planning to attend, let me know so we can get the group together.

Fall family camping registration begins

This is one of the highlights of the year, so you won’t want to miss it.

In addition to all the regular camping fun, we are planning to offer some belt loop clinics and a pack campfire, as well as the traditional Saturday night pack meal. All scouts, siblings and parents are welcome to attend. The cost is $8 per person per night, plus $2 for Saturday evening dinner.

An online registration and payment system is coming (hopefully!), but for now, you’ll need to register and pay in person before or after the pack meeting tonight or the Oct. 14 pack meeting (the registration deadline is Oct. 15). Please look for the registration booth in the back of the pack meeting room.

Please bring a check made out to BSA Pack 564 for payment of fees.

If you have questions about registration, please use the contact form and choose “camping” in the “I need information about” field.

Please let your den leader know if you are new to camping and need information, advice or assistance with gear.
