Cub Scouts Pack 280: News

Fall Rally

We had a very successful Fall Rally and had 15 new boys join us! We are anticipating a wonderful year. Please join me in Welcoming all our new boys.

Preparing for this year

The Pack Leadership would just like everyone to know that we have had our meeting on creating the Calendar for 2009-2010. We have scheduled lots of exciting activities for the scouts and the Site Calendar will start getting updated this week.

In addition, the site will soon reference a different Calendar so that District events will also be displayed as well as the Pack events.

The Leadership is excited about the new year and we hope that the scouts will be excited as well.

Spring Campout 2009

I just wanted to say what a great Camp Out we had. What a great bunch of families are in our Pack.

I want to especially thank Beth Bergeron for planning our Walking Stick activity. What a creative plan. All the boys loved it.

Thanks to Glea Shields and Mathhew Guess' grandfather for bringing out their leather working supplies and stamps. I think the boys learned a lot and the siblings had fun too.

Thanks to Drew Leaumont for leading the fising and to Peter Brown for taking on the bike ride and bike safety.

With all the wind dinner was a little on the wild side but thanks to all who pitched in to make sure the hot dogs and burgers were ready to eat.

Thanks to Drew who managed to get a safe campfire going despite the wind.

Thanks to our Webelos for the Flag ceremony, we look forward to the fall for another one (hopefully without the wind).

Congratulations to Peter Brown our new Cobbler Champion!

Our next big activity will be the Bridging at Danny Mim's on May 16th.

Pinewood Derby

Thanks to Phil Hanus from http://www.pwderby.org/ for providing the track and electronic equipment to time the races. The scouts were excited to watch their cars race down the track and cheer on their fellow scouts to victory.

View the Photo Album to see the creative work on the car designs.

Trophies will be presented at the Blue and Gold.

Popcorn Winners Pie Throw

For every $500 in sales the scout was able to throw a pie at the Cubmaster or Den Leader. It was an exciting event for the kids especially the top seller that was able to throw 1 pie at the cubmaster and 2 at their den leader, their father.

Everything was great!

Each scouts was able to experience things that are certain to leave a lasting impression, especically the Rhinos.
