Step right up and have a ball. The Pack 110 Cub Carnival will be fun for one and all.
Our Bear Den 4 has been working hard to plan out a night full of fun and exciting carnival games and yummy snacks for their fellow Cub Scouts.
We will see you on Friday, November 17th, at 7:00 in the Hillsdale Gymnasium for the Pack 110 Cub Carnival! Our goal is to make sure all Scouts, leaders and parents leave with a grin!
Back by popular demand! Please join us of Friday, October 27th, at 7:00 for the second Pack 110 Great Pumpkin Carve!
After the opening ceremonies the Scouts and their families will be given 30 minutes to carve and decorate your pumpkin. Once all of the pumpkins are decorated, we will display them to give the Scouts a chance to see the creations that their friends made. Pretzels and water will be for sale for all scouts and parents.
Necessary Supplies for this meeting
Please Remember to bring a hollowed out pumpkin ready to decorate and the necessary tools for your carving / decorating.
We strongly reccomend picking up a couple of Pumpkin Carving Kits similar to the one pictured below. These actually work very nicely and they are much safer than kitchen knives. They can be purchased for a couple of dollars at most stores that carry Halloween supplies. The tools do break relatively easy though, so you may want to consider multiple kits.
This is our big New Member night, so there will be lots of fun activities. We are counting on a BIG turnout from our existing Scouts to help make a BIG impression on our new and potential Scouts. This first meeting will really set the tone for this year and will focus on Family Fun!
We will be collecting dues for existing Scouts and applications for new Scouts. All new Scouts that register at the opening meeting will receive custom Pack 110 t-shirt. Additional t-shirts for existing Scouts (and parents) can be purchased for $5 per shirt.
Bring a Friend! Any existing Scouts that bring a friend that is interested in joining the pack will receive a special prize. Existing Scouts should introduce their guest to Mr. Comolli in order to receive their prize.
The Den Leaders and Pack Committee are excited about the upcoming year.
Lion Scout Pilot
Pack 110 is proud to be participating in the Lion Scout pilot program. The Lion program weaves traditional Scouting concepts of character development, leadership skills, personal fitness and citizenship into activities that are age-appropriate and fun for kindergarten boys and their parents.
Thank you to all our volunteers! If you are interested at all in helping out Pack 110, please do not hesitate to contact any of the Pack Leadership. We can always use more hands to ensure that we have a solid program in place for the boys.
We have a lot of fun and exciting things planned. There will be camping trips, a hayride, an overnight at Adventure Aquarium plus some fun, social activities for you and your families. We will also have our old but true favorites, such as the Pinewood Derby, Cake Bake and Rocket Launch!! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Den Leaders, Lauren Buckalew (lauren.buckalew@nullgmail.com) or Josh Comolli (cubmaster@nullcubpack110.illomoc.com / 215-919-9447).
We are looking forward to working with all of you to make this a great year for our kids, our families and our community!
