If you just signed up for Scouting at the Round Up earlier this week, welcome to Pack 126!!! We’re excited to have you! And we’re looking forward to an exciting year in Scouting. The boys are going to have some great fun, learn some important life skills, and make some fantastic new friends this year.
Pack 126 does camping right
This year, we’re planning some fun adventures for the scouts. We’ve got a camping trip planned for later this month.
And the Raingutter Regatta scheduled for later this fall is always a big hit.
The Scouts huff and puff and blow their boats down the raingutter
The Pinewood Derby is a perennial favorite, too.
On your mark, get set, GO down the track at the Pinewood Derby
Stay tuned. You’re Den Leader will contact you soon with more information about your first Den meeting. In the meantime, get ready for some fun!
Clean Up Cruise Delayed August 4, 2009

Sorry Scouters, Capt. Jim Has some problems with the boat this Saturday (it’s all booked up) and there have been reports of some troublesome reptiles on the island (you don’t want to know).
In light of these circumstances we will delay our Scout service cruise until a few of us leaders recon the area after our meeting on the 15th (any volunteers?). If all is OK we will probably return to the island with the Pack in September (after reptile breeding season).
Until then get ready for Round Up and our first Den Meetings coming soon!

Flag Placement Ceremony April 27, 2009

In the Cub Scout Promise, a boy promises to do his best to do his duty to God and his country, to help other people, and to obey the Law of the Pack.
There are many ways we can live out the Promise on a daily basis. And one of them is to honor those men and women of the armed services who have given freely of themselves in defense of our great country.
For the past six years, the Cub Scouts in middle Tennessee have honored our nation’s veterans by placing United States flags on the graves of veterans on Memorial Day. It’s a way to remember those who have fought and perhaps even died for our freedom. It also serves to let the current armed services personnel and their families know that we truly appreciate their great service to our country.
Last year, Pack 126 helped to adorn the graves of over 9,000 veterans at the Veterans Cementery in Pegram, Tennessee. And we’re planning to go back and do it again this year. So make your plans now to join us.
Freedom is not free. So, let’s make sure to let those brave men and women and their family know that we appreciate them.
It’ll be a good time that you will remember for years to come and it will mean a lot to those who have a loved one serving in the military.
When is it? Saturday, May 23rd, 2009 at 7:30am.
Where is it? Middle Tennessee Veterans Cemetery
7931 McCrory Ln, Nashville, TN 37221
(615) 532-2238
What do I wear? To honor the veterans, we’ll wear our field uniforms, also known as our Class A uniforms.
What if I have questions? Contact your den leader; they will have the information you need about this event.
Do I need to register ahead of time? No, just show up at 7:30am on the morning of the flag placement ceremony. To help us know who to expect, please let you den leader know that you plan to attend.
Is there any costs? No, this is free and the flags will be provided.
