Pinewood Derby

It's that time again! It's the Annual Pinewood Derby! The scouts were issued their Pinewood Derby kits at the November Pack Meeting. With preparations for the big race underway, there are some important dates to keep in mind! During the January Pack Meeting (January 19th), we will hold a practice run for the Derby cars. Inspection and impound of the cars will be held on January 26th. The Pinewood Derby Race will take place on Saturday, January 30th! Good luck!!

Help Wanted

We are always in need of volunteers to make this organization go! We are currently seeking someone to head our spring fund raiser. To sign up, please contact Patty Young at payoung@cinci.rr.com.

Baked Goods Auction

We will be holding a baked goods auction during the December Pack Meeting in order to raise money for the pack. Any and all tasty treats are welcome, so pull out your favorite receipes and lend a hand! Please show your support and let us know what goodies you can bring by contacting Christina Weber at 889-1406, or via email: christinaweber12@yahoo.com.

Cub Scout Caroling

In December, the scouts will be going Caroling. This fun evening of singing will be followed up with a dinner at Richard's Pizza. Each scout will receive their own personal pizza, but families will have to purchase their own. Please plan accordingly.

*The original date was scheduled on the 19th of December, but may be changed to the 12th. An announcement will be made once the final date is determined.*

Pack Dues

Pack dues ($40) will be collected at the December Pack Meeting. In addition to traditional payment methods, payments can also be made by using the funds in your Scout Account.

Pop Tabs

Following tradition, we are collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House charity, which focuses on assisting with health care for families and children in need. For the den that collects the most pop tabs, each scout within that den will be awarded $5 Scout Bucks, so save those tabs!

Popcorn Update!

Popcorn orders will arrive and will be ready for pick-up on November 21st. Please contact Patty Young (payoung@cinci.rr.com) to schedule a time. This doesn't mean that the sale is over- Popcorn can be sold throughout the year! Just go to scouts.trails-end.com and set up an account for your scout.

Possum Run Campout

In response to the requests for directions...

It’s on West Sharon Road, close to Mill Road. It’s almost exactly across the street from the Mill Course golf center. If you are coming from Fairfield, you would travel up Mill Road (Old Winton Road near Rt. 4, turns into Mill after Nilles, travels past the Fire Station, Today homes and the Fairfield golf course on John Gray Rd.) until you get to West Sharon Road and take a left and it’s shortly after you turn, on the left. There is a sign out front that says “Possum Run”, but it’s past the campground driveway and a little hard to see. Anyway, there is a driveway there and you have to drive back a little way to even see the campground.
