May Pack Meeting Crossover

The May Pack Meeting is on May 15 at 7PM at FPC. This is our annual Crossover. We will be celebrating all of our scouts’ advancement and crossing over into their new ranks. This year we are doing a Dessert share so everyone is being asked to bring a dessert to share and enjoy, the pack will be providing the drinks. We’ll also be doing a slide show of the last year’s activities. So come celebrate all of the great achievements our pack has done over the last year.

Spring Cub Scout Sign Ups

Do you have a younger brother just finishing up kindergarten? Do you have a friend that you would like to join cub scouts? The Pack is having a Cub Scout sign up night on May 8 from 7-8PM at FPC. Bring your friends or younger siblings to join our pack and if they sign up you can earn your Recruiter badge. The cost to join scouts for the remainder of the calendar year is $48.

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.

Blue and Gold Banquet!!

We had a great Blue and Gold!! Congratulations to all of our scouts who achieved their ranks and awards.  Many of the scouts looked great in their Rank Ceremony Face Paint.  We had some great cakes and skits! There were also some great table decorations. Den 4 was the winner of the Table Decoration Contest with their Star Wars Table and gets to line up first for meals at Spring Camp.  Congratulations also to our Webelos 2 scouts who got their Arrow of Light Awards. Way to Go!!

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.

Blue and Gold

It’s time to get ready for the Blue and Gold Banquet! The Blue and Gold is going to be held at First Baptist Church 3301 Orders Road on February 28th from 7-8:30 PM. 

The Theme for this year is Galactic Trek. This should be a great event with Den Skits, Advancement Ceremonies and some other surprises. To help with FOS we are doing a Cake Bake Auction this year with all proceeds going to FOS so all scouts are asked to bring in a cake for the Cake Bake Auction. The Theme for cakes goes with the blue and gold theme or scouting.

The Dens will also be competing for best centerpiece. Each Den will get a table to decorate and to put their cakes on. The Pack will be providing a additional dessert and drinks.

Cubmaster Message

Happy Birthday Scouts! I know it may not be your birthday, but February is the month that we celebrate the anniversary of Scouting. Do you like to be remembered on your birthday or do you give someone a present on their birthday? I bet you do. We like to celebrate one another on days of recognition. Recognizing Scouting is no different. Take the opportunity to REMEMBER the importance of being a Cub Scout this month. Wear your uniform to your place of worship on Feb 2nd, wear your uniform to school and tell others about your Scouting program.

You can also give BSA a birthday present. Talk to your parents about giving a gift to Scouting by donating money to the Friends of Scouting. In fact we are all encouraging scouts to bring that birthday cake to our Pack Cake Bake at the Blue and Gold. As a Pack, we will celebrate BSA’s birthday at our Blue and Gold Banquet—our pack meeting this month, where we will eat together, celebrate each other’s accomplishments, and have some fun.
