Pinewood Derby

The Pinewood Derby is coming!! Who has started making their car??  Don't wait until the last minute!  Cars take time and effort and shouldn't be rushed.  If you have not received a car yet or if you're missing pieces, please contact Amy ASAP.

The pinewood check in night will be Friday, March 17 from 6-7:30 at the WB Town Hall.  This is just a weigh in/registration night.  You will not be there the entire time.  Please come at a time that is convenient for you.  We will weigh the cars on our "official" scale, give it a race number, and then hold the cars overnight  to ensure they stay safe.  

The pinewood derby itself will be Saturday, March 18 from 3-5pm at the same location.  If you cannot attend on Friday, please arrive at least a half hour early on Saturday so that your son's car can be weighed and checked in.  We will be having a fundraising bake sale during our pinewood so if anyone feels like contributing, please feel free!  We will also have popcorn and other treats available at our concession stand.  All the proceeds will go to help our boys attend summer camp.  

Remember that all cars must follow our official race rules which can be found on the link to the right.  Any cars not meeting all our specifications will be disqualified from winning prizes, although they will still be allowed to race.  

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Blue and Gold Banquet RSVP/potluck list

Our Blue and Gold Banquet is quickly approaching on Saturday, February 4 starting at 5pm.  We will be having a potluck meal, but we'd still like to have an RSVP list.  Below, is the list of who has responded so far.  If your name is not on the list, please email Amy at 49all80@gmail.com to let us know how many people are attending for your family and what dish you'll be bringing.  If you cannot attend, please let us know.  Thank you!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Pack 118!!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a fun week off from school.  Now that 2017 is upon us, it's back to school, back to scouts, and back to the fun!!

Keep an eye on your inboxes as the January Cub Scout Courier will be emailed to everyone within the next day or so.  We have a ton of fun stuff coming up in the next couple months so please be marking your calendars with all the important dates!

Happy Fall!

We hope now that all the dens have had a chance to have a few meetings that everyone is having a great time so far in scouts!  We have lots of new boys this year so we're excited to show them what we're all about!  Keep in mind that anyone who still wishes to join, may do so at any point during the year.  Our doors are always open!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our kickball game a couple weeks ago.  We certainly hope everyone had a good time, even though it was dark!  Our monthly newsletter, the Cub Scout Courier, has been mailed out to everyone.  Please take a moment to look over this newsletter as it will keep you up to date on what's going on with events, fundraising, reminders, etc.  If you'd prefer to receive this newsletter electronically, please email our cubmaster, Amy LaRoche, at 49all80@gmail.com

We recently had our monthly pack committee meeting and it came to our attention that our adult membership is starting to be depleated.  We are putting the plea out to all our families, if you'd like to try serving on our committee, please feel free to visit at our next meeting, which will be held on Friday, November 11 starting at 6:30pm.  Meetings usually last about an hour and a half.  We plan all the pack events, fundraisers, field trips, etc, but we also discuss new ways to keep the program fun and exciting for the boys.  We have some key positions we are trying desperately to fill such as our secretary and treasurer positions as well as our pack trainer position.  If a position sounds too daunting to you, we will always welcome new members to our group to simply participate in idea sharing and discussion.  If you'd like more information about our committee, you can email our committee chair, Melissa Brown, at melissabrownster@gmail.com

Our next pack meeting is our Cake Bake Auction, being held on Tuesday, November 1 at 6:30pm.  (Information is detailed in your Cub Scout Courier) We hope to see everyone there!

Den meeting schedules

We wanted to make everyone aware of a few changes to weekly den meeting schedules and we want to apologize for all the confusion regarding this.  Please see your den's specific page to see the correct den meeting day and time.  

Also, please watch your mailboxes as the October edition of the cub scout courier will be mailed out early this week.  

For all of our new families, welcome to pack 118!  If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact Amy LaRoche, our cubmaster at the following email 49ALL80@gmail.com

Registration Continued

Welcome back to scouts, everyone!!

Did you miss our registration dates last week?  Still interested in signing up for cub scouts?  Not a problem!!  We will welcome boys any time of year!  Most of our dens begin meetings this week, so if you'd like to still register, simply come to one of the meetings.  If you'd like more information, you can email our Cubmaster, Amy LaRoche at 49ALL80@gmail.com

It's going to be a great year!!

Cub scout Registration Dates

Happy back to school everyone!

With school back in session it's time to start thinking about Pack 118 Cub Scout fun again!  We will be holding 2 registration nights this year.  The first one will be on Tuesday, September 13 from 6:30-7:30pm behind the school and we will also be at the school's open house on Wednesday, September 14 from 6-7.  

The cost for registration this year is $30 for returning scouts and $45 for boys joining the pack this year.  (the $45 includes a hat and neckerchief that are part of the uniform)

Cub Scouts is open to boys in grades 1-5, with the possibility of opening it up to kindergarten boys in early 2017.  Cub Scouts have a den meeting once per week (see the den specific pages to find out when) and one pack meeting per month.  The cub scout program helps boys learn new, exciting things while fostering citizenship, respect, kindness, duty to others.  We have fun outings, camp outs, our pinewood derby, and other special guests and activities.  

If you have any questions about registration or cub scouts in general, don't hesitate to contact Amy LaRoche at 49ALL80@gmail.com  You can also "like" us on Facebook under Cub Scout Pack 118

We're all looking forward to another fun year!
