Fishing Derby

Now that you are hooked on Scouting... Pack 1910 is having a Fishing Derby on Sunday, January 17 from 2-4 pm at the Keller Town Hall pond.  All anglers should bring safety goggles, sunscreen and a hat along with their gear.  Don't forget your drinks, too!  Adults need to have a fishing license on their person as well.  Please be sure to RSVP on Scoutbook so that Mr. Eric James can plan accordingly.  Please contact him with any specific questions.

This would be a great opportunity to invite a friend to some of the fun that we do in Scouting!  If they join, your son receives his RECRUITER patch to wear proudly on his uniform!

Bears have the opportunity to earn their A Bear Goes Fishing Elective Adventure Loop.

This is a great opportunity, however, for ALL scouts to work on the requirements for the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award.  This is an award that can be earned EVERY YEAR!

Cub Scouts can earn the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award in each of the program years as long as the requirements are completed each year. The first time the award is earned, the boy will receive the pocket flap award, which is to be worn on the right pocket flap of the uniform shirt. Each successive time the award is earned, a Wolf Track pin may be added to the flap. Leaders should encourage boys to build on skills and experiences from previous years when working on the award for a successive year.
