AOL moms, please don't forget your ribbons for them to pin.

Tonight we celebrate Scouting, fellowship, friendship, Pack 1910, our founder Baden Powell, our Chartered Organization - UMC Keller and the successes of our AOL Den led by Chase Muery. Tonight is the final step in their Cub Scout journey and in a week they will bridge to Boy Scouts and begin their new path from adult-led to boy-led programming. I can attest that these boys are prepared to do great things and I thank each one of you who has played even a small part in their journey... from planning the hikes to cooking at the campouts, and from shuffling papers to running stations at our Pack events. All of these little cogs MAKE Scouting work and --for that-- I'm thankful to each of you for what you do to get them to this day!

We should all be proud seeing these young men move on.

Congratulations to our AOL Den Members and their families. Job well done!

Don't Forget Dessert

Our Blue and Gold Banquet is right around the corner so be sure you have your plan NOW to decide what you want to bake up for your Scout's winner.  All desserts need to be decorated in line with our theme - Military Appreciation.  So give it your best shot and let's see what ya got!

Be sure to bring a labeled server and we will have serving plates ready to go after the votes are in. 

Good luck to all our creative kiddos.  I can't wait to see (and taste) all the entries!!!! 

Helping Our Australian Scouts

Scouts have been known time and time again to help those in need. Therefore, when our Unit heard that our Australian Scout Councils created a patch to help rebuild, our Committee voted unamiously to support our scouting friends down under by purchasing one for every registered scout in our Unit.  What a great way for these kids to show their support.

Thank you to our new Assistant Cubmaster, Michael Ford, for spearheading this endeavor not just for Pack 1910 but for all UMC Units.  

Blue & Gold 2020

The Blue and Gold Banquet is this month! The annual celebration of the birth of Scouting in America as well as a themed party and chance for us to bid our Arrow of Light Scouts farewell as they leave our Unit to begin their journey in Boy Scouts!

This year's theme is American Heroes - Military Appreciation!

Pack 1910's Blue and Gold Banquet is Friday, February 21, 2020 at 6:30 pm at the United Methodist Church of Keller's Family Life Center (the gym where we hold Pack meetings). Doors open at 6pm for cake check in, finding your table and helping with any last minute set-up needs.

Your entire family is invited.  Full field uniform is required of Scouts.

Please RSVP on the Scoutbook event to ensure adequate reserves of the main entree as well as enough supplies for everyone.

February 7 is the deadline.

We will have a BBQ dinner and are requesting sides and drinks.  The sign up form for the pot luck sides is HERE.

The cost is $5 per person with a max of $20 per family (who reside in the same household). You can pay via Payments page HERE. Please note the PayPal processing charges are worked into these amounts so if you choose to pay via PayPal there is about a $0.50 surcharge on each person to cover the costs we are charged.

It's important for every den to be represented in the planning and execution of this event so that YOUR son's den is well-versed in the planning and prep for when it's his turn!

Cake Boss

Are you and your Scout ready to take home the title of CAKE BOSS?!  Dust the flour off those aprons and start your planning now!

Each year at the Blue and Gold Banquet, we have a cake-bake competition where we ask as many Scouts that wish to participate, to create a THEMED dessert (obviously, in line with our Blue and Gold theme -- American Heroes, military appreciation, etc.,) to bring for voting (and EATING) the night of our banquet.

Our entries are the evening's dessert but not until the voting has been completed.

Be brainstorming of what you'd like to have for your scout's entry this year and see if YOU can take home the title of CAKE BOSS 2020!

Make sure you and your family have RSVP'd for the banquet, signed up for a side dish and made payment to either your den leader, our treasurer or through the Payments page on this website (PayPal).

Blue & Gold Deadline

The Blue and Gold banquet is the annual celebration of Scouting in America. Each year our 5th grade den chooses a theme to build our celebration around. This year is...

A M E R I C A N    H E R O E S

we will be honoring all 5 military branches with special themed decor and contests

Great choice by our Arrow of Light Den! 

While the event itself is a little different each year, the purpose is the same -- to come together as a Pack family and bid our Arrow of Light Scouts farewell for this will be the last event they attend as Cub Scouts.

The purpose of the Blue and Gold is to commemorate the organization of the Boy Scouts of America in 1910 and to celebrate the birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts organization. The banquet is traditionally held in February because Baden-Powell was born February 22, 1857. The term "Blue and Gold" is the name because those are the official colors of the Cub Scout organization. Blue represents truth and loyalty, and gold represents good cheer, happiness, and helping others.

Your den leaders should be contacting you to verify how many from your family will be attending. The cost is $5 per person with a max of $20 per family. Everyone is asked to bring a side and enter a themed desert in our Cake Bake competition.

Our Blue and Gold will be Friday, February 21, 2020 at 6:30 pm. at the United Methodist Church of Keller's Family Life Center (the gym where we hold Pack meetings).

Another fun component we like to incorporate during dinner is our annual slide show. To make this successful, we need your photos! Please upload any photos you've taken of your scout at den meetings, Pack events, campouts, hikes or Pack meetings HERE! We want them all!!! They LOVE seeing their faces up on the screen!

Please RSVP through the links provided on the e-mail sent through Scoutbook no later than  Friday, February 7.

Scout Sunday 2020

Scout Sunday is an observance of the connection between the BSA and its religious-oriented chartering partners.

As part of our commitment to giving back to our Chartered Organization, our units (Troop 1910, Crew 1910, Pack 1910 and Troop 1920) provide volunteers at each of the services held Saturday, 2/15 and Sunday, 2/16 to continually recognize the impact of Scouting within the church body of Keller UMC.

Youth will be greeters/ushers to help recognize and demonstrate our commitment to the Scout Law being Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Cheerful and Reverent.

Participation as a volunteer at our Chartered Organization on Scout Sunday qualifies Scouts to receive the Scout Sunday patch pictured above. Your family needn't be a member of the church for your Scout to participate, just a registered Scout of our Unit.  If you choose to participate in your home church as part of their Scout Sunday services, please communicate that with your den leader.

You will need to officially sign up to volunteer through a link that will be provided on the Scoutbook event so that Ms. Smariga, our Chartered Organization Representative, may track and communicate with volunteers as needed.

For those wanting to participate, full Field Uniform is required.
