Spring Family Campout

One of the things all boys look forward to in Cub Scouts is CAMPING and it's almost time! Make plans to join us for our Spring Family Camp Out April 9-11.

Are you a little “camping-shy”? Don’t let it hold you back!! Do it for your Scout– they’ll love you for it!!

Unless you have an open-ended bank account, don't run out and buy every piece of gear you think you need at REI (but if you just want to, please let me know and I'll give you my list, too!) The best thing to do when starting to acquire gear is to start small and simple so that you can discover what your family needs... grow from there. There are plenty of seasoned camping veterans in our pack that have gear to spare so don't hesitate to put the word out if you need to borrow something.

To begin, you need something to sleep IN, something to sleep ON, something to wear, personal toiletries and light. (Oh... and toilet paper! Don't forget the toilet paper! That's definitely something you never want to not have and need -- if we learned anything from 2020, let it be that you should never want to run out of TP.)

Cub Scout family camping is also referred to as "car camping." With a large enough vehicle, you're fortunate enough to be able to take just about everything AND the kitchen sink with you. But for the amount of time you'll be there, it's really not necessary. Though, a few creature comforts are definitely worth it!

For our campout at Worth Ranch, you won't necessarily need a ton of supplies.

Camping is definitely one of the highlights of any Cub Scout's year. Campouts are fun occasions where we get to come together as a Unit and we all have a blast. We have great food and a fun experience for the whole family. 

Be sure to complete THIS ONLINE REGISTRATION FORM and submit payment no later than April 2 to Treasurer, Trish Chell.  My apologies for the email today about the registration deadline -- the deadline is FRIDAY (not tonight).  

We will take a day hike up Kyle Mountain, have a campfire, let the boys whittle (who have their Whittling Chip), share in some stories and good food.  Be sure to check out the camping event on Scoutbook for more information.  This will be our last camping event for the 20-21 Scouting year.  The next opportunity to go overnight will be aboard the USS Lexington in September and our next campout will be in October/November this year.  So be sure you have the day saved and are ready to join us!

District Roundtable is Thursday

Leaders and parents, don't forget to join us this Thursday via Zoom for the Mustang District Roundtable training event.  Check Scoutbook for login information.

Leaders, please be in full field uniform with your cameras on.  If you can change the name designation on your Zoom account to read First Last - Pack 1910 that will enable the meeting host to ensure you are quickly added to the proper breakout room.

District Roundtable is where we discuss events, deadlines and news from BSA National, our Council and to talk about Mustang District events.  Once the large group announcements and discussions are made, we break into smaller rooms -- yours will be specific to Cub Scouts.  Our Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner will lead us in a discussion on a predetermined topic, conduct some training and THIS is where the tribal knowledge is shared. This is where the magic happens.  

Please join us -- my ONE WISH before leaving Pack 1910 is to win back to back attendance awards at Roundtable which means we have the most uniformed leaders at Roundtable.  Can we make it happen this month?  Join me and find out!

Community Service Event

 

We are having a 🧩 PUZZLE DRIVE 🧩 for our March community service project!!
