Cub Scout Pack 1776 Mayfair Philadelphia
Philly Cub Scouts
Dues are due! We need our dues paid so we can take advantage of council’s offer and also to order our books!
Tomorrow November 9th is our first Scouting for Food day! Meet at the church 9:30 so we can start by 10:00 am. Dress warm! Dress in layers!!! We are walking around the neighborhood to place the door hangers for the food collection for next weekend. Bring a water bottle.
Congratulations to our Bears for successfully completing the knife safety course and earning their whittling chip! Everyone demonstrated the skills necessary to use a pocketknife safely. I will have their cards at the first meeting after the Halloween Party.
The Wolf pack is on fire! Another belt loop earned! For the past 2 weeks, we have imagined and brought to life on paper brand 
new dinosaurs of our own creation, learned about fossils and the different classifications of dinosaurs, we made our own fossil images, played dino games, and even built an edible soil/fossil layer with 2 flavors of pudding, cookies and marshmallow as a learning device and treat to enjoy. And, yes, they enjoyed it very much! Learning is FUN through scouting!
Hello, fellow scouters and parents! Just a few quick important things about Fall Fest. This is an activity with a lot of flex
ibility. Scouters may attend any weekend it is offered. Scouters may camp for the weekend OR come up for a day. Please speak with any of our leaders if you have any questions. AS A PACK, our leaders have a cabin for the weekend of November 1-3. If you are planning to camp WITH US all weekend, please MEET Dan, Mike, Nora and Regina at MUSSER campsite at 6 PM in the parking lot at HART. ***if you only wish to come up for the day on November 2, our group will be staying at RED FOX – you can meet up with them there, or the mess hall. Whether you make this a full weekend or just a day trip, it is always a blast! It’s always smart to bring your hiking gear/boots and warm weather clothes, rain gear (as a precaution), a good flashlight, some extra toilet paper, a pre-charged phone charger, some snacks and water (though we will have food) and some S’More makings, ’cause what’s a campout without S’Mores! Hope to see you there for all of the fun and comraderie!
THIS MONDAY – October 28 – put on your costumes and let’s PARTY! Halloween is around the corner and we are going to celebrate it with fun and games, music, food and friends. Party starts at 6:30 PM. We had a great turnout for food and drink sign up, so please don’t forget to bring your items! Once again, I am making my signature witch’s potion – it’s simply to DIE for! hahahahahahha
Please join us for a fun filled and educational day out at Fort Mifflin at 9:30 AM on Saturday November 10th. There will be lots to do and great company!There will be guided tours, musket demonstration, and scouts can meet Ben Franklin.
The cost is $10 for adults and $6 for kids under 12 & veterans.
Remember to pack a snack and water and wear comfortable shoes! Thank you Mike Magras for leading this awesome outing!
The year is already off to a terrific and productive start with our young Wolves. With 2 earned beltloops out of 6 required for moving to the next level and some fun electives peppered in, we are really having a great time telling campfire stories, creating new ones of our own, preparing a skit, playing games with a focus on fitness, good sportsmanship and teamwork, and learning about nutrition. Stay tuned for next week’s Wolf Den recap! Until then…
A warm thanks to everyone who came out tonight to the Cub Scout Pack 1776 Open House. We saw many new faces, as well as our dear familiar ones. The children thoroughly enjoyed “SCIENCE!” With Dan, electrical circuitry with Mike, Catapults of Fun and corn hole with Nora and Digging for Dinosaurs with Kristine. We all had an evening of learning through fun, comradery, and laughs. A special thank you to the boy scouts and venturing crew (both of 1776) who assisted us tonight, and of course to Regina, our Cub Master, who met with all of the parents. We really have a great group here, and we very much look forward to expanding our cub community! See you all next week!
**Remember, it’s never too late to meet with us. If you were unavailable for our Open House, you are welcome to swing by any Monday meeting between 7:00PM and 8:00PM!
We are all looking forward to meeting new faces tonight. There is a lot of information and fun planned for this evening!
