A new leaf...

The Pack Leaders have been working hard to put together the calendar of events for the Pack for the upcoming year. We’ve got lots of things planned, including some new stuff we’ve never done before! Get ready to hit the ground running at Roundup in August! We’ve got Popcorn sales coming right up, and this year we can start as early as August 1, so we can get a jump on the school fundraisers! (More Info Coming Soon!)

This is a reminder that all popcorn forms and Money must be turned in at the pack meeting on OCT 29th at 7:00. I hope that your sales have been good! If anyone needs extra forms between now and then please e-mail Lisa Halverson or Mr. Emanuel and the will make sure that you get them.

The Fall Camporee was great this weekend at the TSU Farm Property off of River Road near Ashland City.  The Emergency, Fire, and Police Exhibits were awesome.  The boys had a great time.  The camporee was attended by 10 troops in Highland Rim, which is a great turn out.

Special Thanks goes to Ray Crouch Gary Wilkerson, Kim Wilkerson, Kenyon Dupre, and Troop 594 for their hard work and putting the camporee together.  Great Job!

Webelos Woods had a awesome program this weekend.  Webelos Woods had over 12 packs this weekend in attendance, including packs from other districts.  The boys had a great  time learning boy scout skills and getting their first taste of boy scout camping.

Special Thanks goes to Gary Bass for his hard work with putting Webelos Woods together.  I also want to thank Vince Beech and Pack 126 for helping with the program for Webelos Woods.  Special Thanks also goes to Wayne Reid, Joe Webb, Jennifer Eusler, and all the other adults that helped with teaching/training at  Webelos Woods. Great Job!

We all had a great time! It’s definitely something that every Cub Scout should attend as you prepare to cross over to Boy Scouts.

It’s going to be fun!!!

Get ready for some serious camping. Webelos in the Woods focus exclusively on the skills you’ll need to know as you prepare to crossover from Cub Scouts into Boy Scouts. You won’t want to miss this fun and action filled camp out.

When: 10-11 October
Where: The TSU Research & Demonstration Farm on River Road in Ashland City

Here’s a copy of the Registration Form. And here are the directions to TSU Research and Demonstration Farm.

Please let your den leader know if you are planning to attend.

What a great turn out on Thursday! We talked a little about what was in store this year, received our binders and homework, and got our POPCORN forms!

The most exciting thing that the Webelos I group did was decide on a patrol name. We will now be known as the Ninjas! Unbeknownest to the boys, they did it in democratic fashion…suggestions, discussion, and a vote.

We will be meeting next Thursday at 7pm. Look forward to more e-mails from me!

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!
