BLUE AND GOLD BANQUET

The Blue and Gold Banquet is the highlight of the scouting year. The banquet is held on a Friday evening in February, Scouting’s anniversary month.

CUB SCOUT DAY CAMP

Cub Scout Day Camp is a week-long camp held during the day and sponsored by the District. It is a great week of fun with other Cub Scouts from the district.

The Fall Roundup will be held August 30, 1999 in conjunction with the August Pack Meeting. Roundup is an opportunity to recruit new boys and their families into the pack. Efforts are made to inform the boys of the roundup and Scouting through flyers, school presentations, and Cub Scouts in uniform at school. Many activities will be going on that night including an information meeting for new parents, recreation for the boys, an abbreviated pack meeting and refreshments for all. There will also be displays of crafts made by the boys, Pinewood Derby Cars, Flags, Patches, Uniforms, Books, And More!!

The cars are cut from a small piece of wood to a specific size and weight. The pinewood derby is an exciting morning of racing these gravity-powered cars on a regulation track. The cars will be raced by dens to determine the best in the den. The den champions will then race to determine the pack champion. After the races, the boys may challenge their fathers to match races. Cars will also be judged on best car design. Boys will receive ribbons for participation and for winning competitions. The pinewood derby car kits will be available from the pack in advance of the activity.

Popcorn sales are a very important fund raising activity that assists the pack and the district. Our goal is to sell $15,000 worth of popcorn. The popcorn tastes great and is welcomed in the community. Last year our pack earned over $4,000 for the pack, as well as money for the district. This is the main method for the pack to generate money for operating expenses for pack activities, and it is the only fund raiser our pack holds each year. The sales are from September 24 - October ???, 1999. Popcorn should be available for delivery November ??? and money is due to the pack December ???. Each den will select a parent to coordinate the popcorn sales in their den. The parent coordinator will collect orders, distribute popcorn to Scouts, and collect money.
