In many places getting halfway through the year signals a downhill run. Not at Pack 365! We actually have MORE events in the late winter and spring than we have in the fall!
What's in store? This month has our Blue and Gold Banquet....a celebration of the birth of the Boy Scouts of America...this year celebrating 102 years! This month also marks the 12th birthday of Pack 365!
Mr. Jeff has put together a workshop titled "Scouting for Boys With Special Needs." Part one of the two part workshop was January 31. About 15 leaders and parents attended a very informative and moving presentation. If you missed it and want to attend the second part, don't worry, you're welcome and encouraged to attend. I'll have more to say about Scouting for Boys with Special Needs in another post.
Early March is the District Pinewood Derby, pitting our first place winners from January against first place winners from the rest of the Neuse River District (about 30 boys in each category!).
March also will host our Arrow of Light and Cub Scout to Boy Scout Bridging Ceremonies at Camp Charles. Four of our scouts will graduate to Boy Scouts in a dramatic and inspiring ceremony. It's also a weekend of family camping for the entire Pack! More about this in another post.
Then, the next week, The Neusiok Chapter of the Order of the Arrow will host a Webelos OA weekend at Camp Durant. This will be a Friday night/Saturday opportunity for Webelos to learn about the Order of the Arrow, a service organization within Boy Scouts.
April brings us to the Neuse River District Camporee, and in May....GRADUATION...boys will graduate to their next rank in Scouting and kick off the summer!
Make sure to Do Your Best every week and make it to your den meetings. Your leaders work very hard to deliver a program that is fun and purposeful!!
