Walk of Champions

A reminder that the Walk of Champions is this coming Sunday, May 6th!  We will be meeting at the Quabbin Reservoir for 9am.  Please make sure you are wearing your "scouts for survival" tshirts as well as your pack 118 hat if you have one!  Bring a water bottle--it's supposed to be nice and warm!  To date we have raised about $850, which beats last year's total!  Way to go Pack 118!  Hope to see all of you there!

Ecotarium trip on Saturday!

Hopefully everyone is getting super excited about our special trip this weekend!  It's our Ecotarium overnight!  Some things to remember...we all need to meet at the Ecotarium no later than 6:30.  Our program will start right at 7pm, so we need to be on time!  Please remember to eat dinner before you arrive!  Also remember that we will be sleeping on the floor of the museum, so if you want to bring air mattresses, feel free!  We will have a late night snack which will be provided to us, but if you'd like to bring your own, that's fine too.  Breakfast will be provided in the morning as well.  Be sure to bring warm clothes as we do embark on a very early morning hike and Sunday morning is supposed to be cold!  Be prepared!  Boys should wear either their actual scout uniform or at the very least, their Pack 118 tshirt and hat.  For more information, please see the Ecotarium page to the right or give Ryan a call at (508)867-8367 or email him at evannpd@charter.net 

*We do have a couple spots left if anyone else would like to join us.  Please call Ryan ASAP so we'll know to expect you!  Again, the cost is $10 for cub scouts and $30 for an adult or sibling. 

Weekend Campout

As some of you may have heard, we're planning a weekend family campout!  It's still about a month away (May 18, 19, 20th) but that gives you all plenty of time to prepare!  This awesome event will be held at Outdoor World in Sturbridge and is actually a campground that has running water, showers, a pool, etc.  There will be sign up sheets going around at den meetings so if you're interested in going, please sign up!  Since it is the entire weekend, please feel free to come and go as you want.  We'll plan some meals, games, activities, etc.  It's going to be tons of fun!!!  There will eventually be a page to the right dedicated to this campout, so check back soon!

We also have another camping opportunity in June, but more information on that will be coming out later!

Walk of Champions

Even though the Walk of Champions isn't being held until Sunday, May 6th, Amy Gray (our team coordinator) is asking that anyone donating money present that to her no later than next Tuesday, April 24th, as she has to turn it in at the end of the month. 

Remember that if you would still like to walk with us you may even if you haven't signed up to, and if you can't walk but want to donate, please feel free to do so! 

Any questions, don't hesitate to get in contact with our Cubmaster, Ryan, at evannpd@charter.net

Cake Bake a Success--sort of!

We have to give a HUGE thank you to the 13 boys, yes, 13 boys, that attended our cake bake Friday night.  The cakes looked amazing!  You all used your creativity and imagination and they came out fantastic!  Even though we only had 13 scouts attend, our generous attendees were able to donate just over $300 to little Malia!  Hopefully everyone had a good time and had some good laughs!  Yuuuuup!!!

Tommy & Justin were the high bidders so they got to do the honors...

Cubmaster Ryan is a great sport!

last day for cans!

Don't forget our cake bake this coming Friday, but don't forget that it's also the last day to donate your returnable cans and bottles to our can "camp"aign!  We've raised about $60 so far, and we still have about 5 bags to turn in!  A HUGE thanks to the bear den as they've turned all those in!  Also on Friday, we'll be announcing our winners of the essay contest!  You don't want to miss that!  Join us at 6:30 Friday night for lots of fun and excitement!!

Cake Bake Auction on Friday

A friendly reminder that our annual cake bake auction is being held this Friday, April 13 from 6:30-8pm at the Elementary School.  Boys are asked to bake and decorate a cake (keeping with the theme of "going camping") at home and bring it to the event to be auctioned off.  All of the money raised will be going to our little friend Malia who is still receiving treatment for her cancer.  We will also have a jar that we are challenging everyone to fill with change.  If the jar is full at the end of our meeting, Ryan will receive a cake right in the face!
