Camp Out Supply List

Our first pack camp out of the year is coming up on the weekend of October 4th.  If you'd like to join us, please make sure you email Ryan at evannpd@charter.net as soon as possible.  We are planning lots of fun events including a "mystery belt loop" for boys to work on.  The camp out will take place at our scout camp at Treasure Valley (394 Pleasantdale Rd, Rutland, MA) starting at 2pm on Saturday the 4th.  We will depart on Sunday the 5th by 9am.  We realize that many of our boys play soccer and baseball, which is why you can attend any time on Saturday after 2.  Don't want to stay overnight?  That's ok too.  Come for the fun during the day and leave when you'd like.  We will be supplying dinner, an evening snack, and breakfast.  We are asking families to supply their own waterbottles (preferably reusable ones) filled with water or any other drinks for your family to enjoy (no alcohol please!).  See below for our complete list of what to bring:

A tent
Sleeping bag or blankets
Pillow
Warm clothes (it will get cool after the sun goes down)
Rain gear (just in case)
Air Mattress (optional)
Flashlight
Extra batteries
Sturdy shoes (NO FLIPFLOPS)
Bug spray
Waterbottle with water
Toothbrush/toothpaste
Extra socks
Fishing gear (if you'd like to fish)
Camp chair
Stuff to play with (football, playing cards, etc)
Scout uniforms are not necessary, but boys can wear their hats. 

Check back early next week when we will post a rough schedule of events for the camp out. 

Welcome Back everyone!

Welcome back, Pack 118!!  Most of you had your first meeting last night--hopefully they went great!  We have a lot of new faces this year which is always great to see! 

 

Our tiger and bear dens went home with their October Cub Scout Courier last night.  Everyone else will have them either emailed or snail mailed today.  There is important information on our very first "scouting outing" coming up on October 4th, as well as some other upcoming events.  If you'd prefer to receive your newsletter via email, please let us know by emailing Ryan LaRoche at evannpd@charter.net and we'll add you to our courier group. 

 

Tomorrow night is WBES open house night.  Pack 118 will have a table set up in the cafeteria so stop by to say hi!  If you have any friends interested in joining our group, feel free to send them our way so they can get more information or even sign up!  Any registered cub scout that gets a buddy to sign up (any time during the year) will receive a very special "Recruiter" patch.  We will accept scouts any time--not just at the beginning of the year. 

 

For all the new families that have questions on the placement of uniform patches, follow this link:  http://www.scoutstuff.org/retail/docs/uniform-inspection-sheets and feel free to email Ryan if you still have questions. 

Thank you!!

Thank you all for coming out to our annual registration night yesterday!  We had 21 boys register, including 7 brand new pack 118 boys and 3 new adult volunteers!  Welcome everyone!!  For those of you that missed registration, we will have a table at the WBES open house next Thursday, September 18 from 6-8pm.  If you are a returning scout, you may also register at your den's first meeting. 

 

 

Save the Date!!!

We will have our first pack outing the weekend of October 4th & 5th.  We will be taking the pack camping at Treasure Valley Scout Reservation in Rutland.  Keep an eye on your mailboxes as you will start receiving monthly "Cub Scout Couriers", our pack newsletter, that will have more information on this fun event!  These will be out early next week at the latest. 

 

If you have questions regarding your den, please check out our rank pages on the right.  Each den has it's own information page.  Contact info for each leader is also available here. 

 

Thank you all for joining Pack 118!!  We know you'll have a GREAT year!!  (PS--tell your friends!)
