July Pack Meeting - Rockets and Campout

Just a quick reminder that we are having our Pack meeting, "Make a Rocket" night for the pack along with a overnight campout/bonfire coming up on Saturday, July 19 at 6PM at the First Baptist Church Shelter house/fields at 3301 Orders Road, Grove City. For our main pack activity we are going to do model rockets for the scouts to make, shoot off and enjoy. After the rockets, families are then welcome to camp overnight in the fields behind the shelter house. The Pack will also bring along fishing gear (there are ponds on the property) and then we will do a big bonfire and S'Mores that evening. Also please make sure you eat dinner prior to the meeting, the pack is only providing snacks later that night.

Spring Campout

The Pack Spring Campout at Tar Hollow was a great time this year. Check out the pictures. The stations were great and the campfire was a fun time. Thank you to the Troop 136 scouts for helping with the compass station. If you missed this campout our next pack family campout is the first weekend in October at Camp Falling Rock. Mark you calendars!

April Pack Meeting

Just a quick reminder about our upcoming Pack meeting this Thursday, April 17. We will not be meeting at First Presbyterian Church this month. We will be meeting at the Orders Road Fryer Park Eagle Pavilion for a Fishing and Kite Derby. The meeting is starting a little earlier at 6:30 PM to give us maximum sunlight. Adults and kids can participate in the fishing derby as fishing licenses are not required for fishing in the Fryer Park pond. All scouts will also be receiving a kite to build and fly for the kite derby but siblings are also welcome to bring their own.

March Pack Meeting

The March Pack Meeting on March 20 is going to feature a visit from the Ohio Wildlife Center (OWC). The OWC, is a premier non-profit wildlife rehabilitation organization, and is nationally recognized as an authority on native Ohio wildlife issues. Every year, almost 5,000 injured, orphaned and sick wild animals, representing over 100 different species, are admitted to their emergency facility. OWC is also the only wildlife center in Ohio equipped with immediate and continual veterinary expertise and services. This definitely fits with our theme of Compassion this month. Come experience the OWC as they bring in some of Ohio’s wildlife for us to learn about and enjoy.

Cubmaster Message

This month’s Core Value is Compassion: Being kind and considerate and showing concern for the well-being of others. What better way is there to plant seeds of kindness and to show compassion to others than to provide service?  Not only do the actions of our Scouts enhance the lives of those they serve, but their attitudes encourage others to be better people and show acts of kindness in their everyday lives. Along the trail of Scouting, we promise to “HELP OTHER PEOPLE,” and that “THE CUB SCOUT GIVES GOODWILL.” It is important for a Cub Scout to gain an understanding and experience the satisfaction in helping those less fortunate than himself.
