Bottle Rocket Kick Off Event

Mark your calendars for Sunday August 28th, 3:00-5:00pm--Bottle Rocket/Cub Scout Kick-off Event at the Methodist Camp (top of Elm Street).

New Scouts can register (invite your friends who may want to join--there's a Recruiting Patch!), we will be Swimming (weather permitting), and launching 2-liter Bottle Rockets!

To construct a 2-liter bottle rocket, just decorate an empty 2-liter soda bottle, remembering to leave the top open (where the cap goes). If you want a nose-cone on your bottle, you need to attach it to the bottom of the bottle.

The Pack will provide Lemonade to drink, you can also bring Potluck Snacks, if you like, and we are in need of Drinking Cups if you have some to donate.

This is always a favorite event with the boys--Hope to see you all there!

High Desert District Pinewood Derby Race 2011

Saturday August 20th, sign-in 9:30-10:00am, Races start at 10:00am. Entry fee is $5.00 (ok to pay at the race). You can use the car you raced at our last Pack Pinewood Derby, you don't have to build a new one. Last year it was held in the parking lot next to the Hardware Store. There will be 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and Best in Show Trophies awarded.

Hope to see you there!

Table Mountain Camping & Bridging

The camping trip/bridging ceremony is May 13th-15th. We have a block of sites booked at Table Mountain campground. Most will tent camp in these sites. If you'd like to bring an RV or trailer, we're asking that you book your own spot nearby so we don't have any parking issues for everyone else. We're booked near the ampitheater so if you go online and check out the available reservations, try to camp close to there. If you are not going to camp, the actual bridging ceremony is tentatively scheduled for 3-4pm and the Arrow of Light ceremony (awesome Indian presentation for the graduating Webelos) is from 4-5pm. Please try to make it for most of the afternoon though because we'll be doing skills activities before bridging. And of course the campfire activites will be both nights. It will be a lot of fun, hope you can make it!

Wildfire Awareness Day, Saturday May 7th 10am-3pm

Come see us at the Cub Scout booth! We'll have lemonade & baked goodies. Stop by and learn about scouting.
