Family Camping has moved! The Pack will not be at Satterwhite Point campground at Kerr Lake this weekend. Instead, we will be at Rolling View campground at Falls Lake. Don't show up at the wrong campsite! The Pack will be camping from June 7 to June 9. Note that you can come on Friday night (bring your own dinner or eat on the way) or Saturday morning. Don't miss out on the fun! |
Awards Ceremony and Cookout - On Saturday, May 18, we had our final Pack Meeting at Piney Woods Park. After a wild game of kickball, Scouts and their families chowed down on hamburgers, hot dogs, all the fixin's, and ice cream! Special thanks to Assistant Cubmaster Barron and Webelos Leader Buchner for their grilling expertise, and to Ms. Powell for taking care of dessert. After dinner, our Tiger Cubs showed all they'd done this year with their Tiger advancement poster, and then participated in a special graduation ceremony. They're all ready for the Bobcat trail now! We also handed out Community Service awards to four Cubs, Wolf and Bear badges to another four Cubs, gold and silver arrow points, Webelos activity pins, lots of service pins, and even an attendance pin! Way to go, Michael! Special thanks to the adult leaders for their service all year long.
Cub Scout Day Camp - This will be held at Forest Hills Park in Durham. Cub Scout Day Camping is fun and filled with adventure. Scouts can have fun outdoors while working on achievements, electives for arrow points, and Webelos activity pins.
Cub/Adult Overnighter - This year's overnighter is on the weekend of June 29 and 30. Cubs and parents (or other adult relatives) can spend Saturday afternoon and night at the Scout camp at Camp Durant. Activities include BB guns, archery, nature activities, swimming and crafts. Dinner is supplied on Saturday night, followed by a campfire. Scouts and adults sleep on cots in two-person tents supplied and set up by Camp Durant personnel. Cereal, juice and fruit are served at breakfast on Sunday morning.
Raingutter Regatta - Packs 486 and 495 will once again join forces to have a Raingutter Regatta this summer. Starting at 8:30 on Saturday morning, July 13, at a shelter at West Point on the Eno, the boys will make and race sailboats in 10-foot long raingutters. The boats are powered by Scout-breath! After awards, the raingutters are drained, cleaned, lined, and used for a huge ice cream feast! This was a great summer event last year, and should be even better in 2002!

Pool Party, Cookout and Space Derby - Yet another summertime opportunity! The Pack will sponsor a pool party at Woodcroft from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 10, with opportunities for Webelos to work on the Aquanaut pin and for all Scouts to earn the Swimming belt loop. After the pool party and a lunchtime cookout, we'll have Pack 486's first-ever Space Derby, where the Scouts make rubber-band-powered rockets and race them. Watch for more details in the summer newsletter. |
