Another year of scouting is in full swing! The Fall season has been lots of fun for al our returning boys and our new Tigers...
The Pack did their annual caroling at Barn Hill Nursing Home. The patients really enjoyed hearing the boys sing and receiving the homemade Christmas cards.
The Webelos, as well as the rest of the scouts, toured The Sterling Hill Mining Museum. They went on an underground mine tour, saw fantastic displays of "glow-in-the-dark" fluorescent minerals, and the extensive outdoor display of mining machinery.
Our Pack hike at High Point State Park was a huge success. We did a 1 mile hike thru the bog. Then drank hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows over an open fire.
We did our first camping of the season in October at the Cub Family Camp Out. There was lots of activities for the boys - including BB guns, archery, zip line, and arts and crafts. The boys did a great skit at the Council Fire that evening.

Campout Checklist
Page I Don't Want In Search Engines
Cub Family Campout is for the whole family. If you want to take your scout's siblings, then talk to Cubmaster Steve. We will be more than happy to accomodate your whole family.
A full Cub Scout uniform is required for Cub Family Campout. Sturdy shoes that are suitable for hiking will be useful. The following is a list of equipment that will be useful on the campout.
Camping Equipment
Tent with poles and stakes (if you do not have a tent, ask Cubmaster Steve. He can provide you with one.
Waterproof ground cloth or plastic sheet
Sleeping bag, pillow, air mattress or pad
Mesh bag or spare bag for clothes if they get wet.
Clothes Bag
Cub Scout uniform
Poncho or raincoat
Warm jacket or coat (October can get cold, and windy so a heavy coat is recommended as well)
Pajamas or sweatshirt, sweatpants
Underwear
Durable shoes, shoe laces
Hat or cap
Gloves
Extra socks, shoes, other extra clothing
Family Gear
Lawn chairs or fold up chairs
Cooler or ice chest with drinks of your choice, water, and snacks. If your Scout is a picky eater, then bring foods that your scout will like. Snacks must be stored in cars due to Bears.
Toilet Kit
Toothpaste, toothbrush, comb
Washcloth, towel
Soap in container
Toilet paper (extra toilet paper comes in handy for all sorts of things)
Misc:
First aid kit (the pack will have one, but a small bag with a few bandaids, and ointment never hurts)
Water bottle or Canteen (required)
Flashlight, or lantern, bulb, batteries
Sunscreen
Insect repellent
Whistle
Safety pins
Extras
Camera
Binoculars
Sunglasses
Notebook and pencil
Glow Sticks and/or bracelets are a Scout's favorite nightime toy. They are also good for marking tent stakes and lines so they do not get tripped over, and make good nightlights for the nervous scout.
Hot Hands are a welcome item in the mornings and at campfire. Just put a hot hands in your scouts pockets and it makes a world of difference.
Program Options
Fishing gear
Note: Due to Bears and Wildlife in the area, all smell-ables like toothpaste, deodorants, some soaps need to be stored in your car with snacks and food. The Bears will try to come into your tent to investigate smells. So, to be on the safe side please abide by this request.
If you have a cart of some kind like the Radio Flyer type Wagon or a Wonder Wheeler Beach Cart you may want to bring it to help transport your stuff to the campsite. The site is a couple hundred feet up a rocky trail. It is not steep or that far, but it will make it easier for you to take your stuff to the site. Otherwise, that is what the Scouts are for right?? |
