Our Pack Hiking Coordinator, Shelly, has set up a fun hike for the Pack on Sunday, January 17th at Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge! RSVP Now!

The meeting time is 10:30am and it will last for 1-2 hours. There will be a ranger guided hike and binoculars provided for all attending! (But feel free to bring your own binoculars if you have them!) Please RSVP on the calendar event so we can provide numbers to the Ranger by this Sunday, January 11th. Every scout is required to participate in at least one hike to earn their rank. Ask your den leader what your Cub Scout should focus on to complete their hiking requirement!

Parents,

If you have power tools that can come to a meeting, please help!

To help with building pinewood derby cars we will be meeting in the church parking lot at 4pm on January 25th. I will bring a band saw and some sandpaper to help the kids make cars. One band saw will not be enough though, so please contact Josh Merdes (814-571-6810) if you have any power tools that can be used to help out. Per scouting policy, and common sense, cubs will NOT be allowed to use power tools. Once I get ahold of district rules I will post them so we are all in compliance.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a relaxing winter break. There are no meetings this Sunday. Please continue to collect those shoes! We are not even halfway to our goal yet. We will be collecting through January.
February 8th is Scout Sunday. Our Pack has been invited to help with the 10:30am service at St Thomas. If your Cub Scout would like to participate (being an usher, carrying in the Pack flag or helping with the gifts) please RSVP to the event on the calendar and comment what your scout would like to help with!

The Holiday Party begins at 4:30pm at St Thomas!

A word from our party coordinators:

As you all know, our holiday party will be this Sunday! We wanted to make sure that you knew that there were some things that needed to be communicated so you could be prepared. Please bring a jacket as a couple of the events will be outside. One of the events will be to decorate the den leader, any extra left-over décor you may have, such as garland, would be greatly appreciated. The more décor the parents bring, the more festive your child’s den leader will look! Also, we could use some parents’ help in some of the stations. Chaos management is necessary in order to keep the kids safe. Lastly, we have about 55 scouts who will certainly have hungry bellies. If you could please bring your choice of snack that would be amazing. Single serving chip bags, juices, fruit and veggie trays and that sort of thing would be great!

The Volunteer, Leader and Committee meeting for this Sunday has been canceled. Den meetings will begin at 5pm.

The Pack will only have use of the classrooms this week so there will be no opening together in Taylor Hall. Please enter into the classroom hallway and go right to your den meeting space.
