Parent Meeting January 13

PARENT MEETING JANUARY 13, 7:00 PM

Welcome back Pack 1776! It’s a brand new year filled with brand new excitement for our scouts!  Ordinarily, we do general announcements after each meeting, but this Monday, January 13, we will be holding a parent meeting while our scouts are enjoying their activities.  We have a lot of important information for you, so we are really counting on you to be there.  Topics will include changes, improvements, plans for the pack, upcoming events and our winter awards service.  We hope you had a wonderful holiday break and we are looking forward to seeing you Monday at 7:00 PM!

Prehistoric fun with the Wolves

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!

FALL FEST 2019 – November 1-3 with the pack OR any other time on your own

Hello, fellow scouters and parents!  Just a few quick important things about Fall Fest.  This is an activity with a lot of flexFall Fest 2012ibility.   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!

Goings On in the Wolf Den

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…
