November Pack Meeting

The November Pack meeting is on Thursday, November 20th at 7PM at First Presbyterian Church. This year we are doing the Hot Chocolate and Stars! We will be doing Astronomy activities so scouts can earn their Astronomy Belt Loop.

We are asking all scouts to bring in an empty can so they can make constellation projectors. We will also have telescopes to see various objects in the sky (weather permitting) and we’ll have lots of other fun activities. We’ll also have hot chocolate if you need to warm up after the star gazing.

See you all there.

Time for Annual Dues!

It is that time of the year again. We need to complete our pack re-charter with the BSA by December for the upcoming 2015 scout year. In order to complete this requirement timely, it is very important that we complete the dues renewal process at our November Pack Meeting.

The process is very simple because we do all the work for you. At the Dues table, just let us know that your son will be continuing in the Scouting program for the 2015 Scouting year and take care of the associated annual fees as follows:

For Tigers to Webelos 1s: Total Fee - $70

For Webelos 2s: Total Fee - $50

Den and Pack Fees reduced for Webelos 2s since they move to the Troop after 4 months. You can pay at upcoming den meetings or at the Pack meeting with either a check made out to Pack 136 or you can pay with Credit/Debit Card at the pack meeting. Please note there is a $2 fee if you pay electronically with a credit/debit card.

October Pack Meeting - Pumpkin Derby

The October Pack meeting is on Thursday, October 16 at 7PM at First Presbyterian Church. This year we are doing the Pumpkin Races! Bring your own pumpkin decorated and on wheels. We will judge them and then you will race them down the pumpkin ramp. We will be judging pumpkins on originality, race-ability, and many other factors, so Be creative!!! Best design award will be given for each cub scout rank. An award will also be given for fastest pumpkin.

Five simple rules:
1. Pumpkin Size cannot be more than 20 inches diameter (entire race entry cannot be more than 24 inches wide) to fit on the ramp.
2. No carved pumpkins (this gets too messy).
3. Paint/Glue/Decorations MUST be dry.
4. Must have at least three wheels.
5. Owner's name must be visible on pumpkin.
