From Paul –
“I am sending this to the entire Pack whether you were planning to attend this weekend or not.
Due to the weather forecast and the possibility of bad weather, the cuboree has been postponed. The tentative date will be June 16.
More information will be provided was new plans get firmed up. But wanted to let you know as soon as possible.”
Somehow, our last meeting of our first year came already! In May, our theme was “Camp, Camp, Camp” (going nicely with our campout coming up this month!). We had a camping obstacle course, a nature scavenger hunt, the canteen relay, and a few of our old favorites for games.
We might be out of Pack Meetings, but our Campout is coming up May 19 to 20 at Pine Hill Scout Reservation and we’ll have our end-of-the-year BBQ and Move Up Ceremony on Thursday, June 7th at the Berlin VFW, officially ending our first year!
Sad that Scouts is over for Year 1? Don’t worry, we have LOTS of fun stuff planned for June, July, and August!
Another fun (and FINALLY warmer) month of meetings! Our Bears and Weblos worked on physical fitness, our Wolves went for a twilight hike and learned map and compass skills, and our Lions played board games (Hungry Hungry Hippos!), ran through an obstacle course, and held a Boxcar Derby! Fun months!
HUGE thank you to Dr. Naegely for coming out to our April Pack Meeting and doing some chemistry experiments with the Scouts! The deep freeze Cheese curls in particular were a hit!
Bears and Webelos had an awesome time on their camping trip at the end of March!
They learned about first aid, camp fires, and fire fighters, and visited Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge in Medford! Thank you to our friends in Venture Crew 148 for all the help this weekend!
March might have featured snowed out meetings, but it was also a lot of fun! The Bears and Weblos went to visit the EMTs, our Lions held a park cleanup, and our Wolves split time between Emergency Preparedness and Coins!
For our March Pack Meeting, our Bears and Weblos Den hosted a Cub Carnival! The other Cubs had a great time playing the carnival games that the older guys had planned out and made.
BIG thank you to all the parents and leaders who helped out, and to Carson’s Dad for bringing popcorn and cotton candy machines!
Despite the endless cold of this winter, the dens of Pack 48 had a great time in February! Our Bears and Weblos planned out (and practiced) their Cub Carnival. Our Wolves did some SCIENCE, including testing paper airplane designs and defying some of the laws of physis (Our Den Leaders Kevin and Shawn might be eligible for some sort of Nobel Prize now for managing that), and our Lions were visited by Ms. Kelly came with her EMT bag to talk to the Lions about First Aid.
Pack 48 held out first pinewood derby on Super Bowl weekend! 22 of our Cubs raced their cars, plus a pair of siblings!
A great time was had by all! Big thank you Mr. Pascu and Mr. Smith for running the event, plus our Scouts Carson, Magnus, and Tim for their help! Congrats to our six Scouts heading to the District Race in March!
Our February Pack Meeting celebrated the best that February has to offer… the Olympics! Our Bears and Weblos opened things up with a flag ceremony.
After our monthly theme (“A Scout is friendly!”) we settled down for our events – hockey, curling, bobsledding, and an obstacle course!
There was also a “photo booth” for Scouts to pose with their medals!
Then it was advancements, our closing, and the end of another great pack meeting!
Next month – Cub Carnival!
