Pack Meeting Archives - Page 5 of 6 - Cub Pack 110
Back by popular demand! Please join us of Friday, October 26th, at 7:00 for the 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 and we are beginning the celebration of Pack 110’s 40th year of Scouting! 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.
Family Scouting
Pack 110 is proud to be participating in the Family Scouting program. This means that we can open up our awesome Scouting program to boys and girls for the first time. We are looking forward to sharing our program with a larger audience this year!
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!
