We have moved the Spring Family Camping Trip to April 30 - May 2. We will be camping at Camp Tuscarora. This is a Mawat District Camporee and Boys Scouts will be there as well.

I have heard from many of the scouts and parents that they had a great time at the pinewood derby. I would like to thank everyone for pitching in and helping. This would not have been able to happen without all of the help. I will list what I have for the top three in each category and I would like for those not listed to let me know which place they earned in which category so that I can have a complete list. Good luck at the district derby.

Pack 400 is going to the Canes-Thrashers game on March 27 at 7:00 PM. Tickets will be $20/person (which is half price) and in the upper corner of the arena. Even though it's not Scout Night, I have arranged for us to get patches for the boys. Please register at the pack website if you want tickets by Jan. 21st. I need to let them know early so they can order extra patches. I will need the money for the tickets on Jan. 28th during the Webelos II den meeting.

Wolf parents; please review what activities your son has completed is on his Wolf path, then bring that list in to the next Den meeting. We will update the official record so we know what each boy has left to do to finish Wolf requirements prior to the Blue and Gold in February.

Threats of weather didn't keep a seemingly a record turnout of scouts and parent away from this weekend family camping trip! True, we had bands of showers move through, and some equipment went home wet, but we had a great turnout both nights. Many dens worked on some achievements while leaving time for fishing, hiking, games, and other activities. The last band of rain cleared out well in advance of the campfire leaving clear skies for a large toasty bonfire. The campfire program was great - and thanks to all scouts that participated.

The Webelos Dens (Hawks and Scorpions) and families experienced Colonial life at Camp Flintlock on Oct. 16-18. We dressed, lived, worked, cooked, camped, and played as if we were Colonial settlers. A highlight for most was shooting the musket but we also enjoyed games, tomahawk throwing, chopping wood, making Indian necklaces, fife and drum instruction, quill and ink writing, and and all the lore and history Mr Langdon brought to life in this participatory camp. Please visit (and add your pictures) to the photo album for this event.
