Pack 9 Families -
A reminder to our Scouts from last year and an invitation to our new/interested Scouts for this year! The weather for Saturday is looking great, so please join us!
We'd like to kick the year off with some fun, so Pack 9 is planning a beginning of the year activity on Saturday, August 19 at Camp Drake. Parents and siblings are encouraged to attend and participate!
We will have a day of activities and the option to camp overnight with Troop 9, if interested. Here's the details:
10:30 a.m. - Gather at the Friendship Circle area (near the dining hall and main parking area).
10:45 - Noon - Hike to help familiarize the boys with Camp Drake. Please bring a small garbage bag (Wal-Mart, Meijer, etc. would work fine) to pick up any trash we see as we walk.
Noon - 1 p.m. - Lunch and socialize - everyone is asked to bring their own sack lunch and water bottle. The Pack will provide cold water and lemonade.
1:15 p.m. - ? Wood Badge Beading ceremony for Pack 9 leaders John Farney and John Karduck and Troop 9 leader Peggy Loftus, followed by Pack 9 Den awards and Troop 9 Court of Honor.
3 p.m. - 5 p.m. - We have reserved the swimming pool for a Pack/Troop swim time.
Things to remember - WEAR SUNSCREED, BRING A LUNCH, BRING A WATER BOTTLE, BRING A GARBAGE BAG, BRING YOUR SWIMSUIT! Remember, the whole family is invited to attend.
Scouts should wear their Pack 9 T-shirt for the hike and lunch. Please have your Class A Uniform available to wear for the Wood Badge Beading and Court of Honor. If you need a new Pack 9 t-shirt, please contact Cubmaster John Karduck at pack9cubmaster@gmail.com.
For those interested in camping overnight Saturday, August 19- Sunday, August 20, Troop 9 has reserved the Hickory Haven campground. In order to plan for meals and evening activities, we need to know how many people will be staying. Please RSVP for overnight camping to me at pack9committee@gmail.com. Details will be forwarded to those who will be staying overnight.
Hope to see everyone there!
