It was good to see everyone at the Pack Family Camp Out at Northbrook Church last Friday. Unfortunately not many of us were able to spend the night due to a torrential downpour. However, the beef brisket was fabulous and Den 11 officially crossed over to Wolf Scouts. For those of you who were unable to make it, Tiger Scouts were presented with an official Wolf Book and a new neckerchief. From now through next May, Den 11 will be working on Wolf Achievements and Electives (If you still need yellow beads from Tiger, I have some left). In addition, Cub Master David Janes announced that Pack 471 had earned the Centennial Quality Unit Award this year (see picture). A Quality Unit Award Ribbon will be added to our Pack Flag and all scouts and leaders will receive a Centennial Quality Unit Patch that they can sew on their uniform.
The camp out also was the last Pack Meeting of the year until next fall. However, there are still lots of other activities on the calendar. We will add two additional Den Meetings over the summer and work on Cub Scout Values with fun at the top of that list. We will also work on earning the Emergency Preparedness Pin. Other events include:
Memorial Day Flag Ceremony; May 29, 2010 - Pack 471 will take part in putting flags on the graves at Marietta National Cemetery. Uniform is Dress A with jeans or jean shorts (no sports pants or shorts).
District Day Camp: June 14-18, 2010 (there is still time to sign up
but must have all paperwork in by 5/31/2010).
4th of July Parade: Scouts at Day Camp will be building a float for the Marietta 4th of July Parade. All scouts are welcome to participate though in the parade. Uniform is Dress A with jeans or jean shorts (no sports pants or shorts).
Pack 471 Pool Party. We are looking for a date in July to hold the Pack 471 Pool Party at the Jefferson Township Pool - stay tuned for details.
Annual Planning: Pack 471 will hold its annual planning meeting in June. More details will be coming out soon and all interested Pack parents are welcome.
