Pack Trip

The Pack took a family trip down to the Museum of Aviation at Warner Robins on January 17th. The boys were able to see all four buildings plus the big outside display. It took us all day! We enjoyed box lunches prepared for us by the cafe at the Museum and dinner at Ryan's that evening.
Sunday we went up to Ocmulgee National Monument. While we were there, one of the rangers talked about the history of the mounds and the artifacts they've found. We toured the Earth Lodge and the Great Temple Mound. The photo is from the top of the Great Temple Mound. The boys really enjoyed getting to see this piece of history.

The pack trip for January 2010 is already being planned. Be on the lookout for details!

Pinewood Derby Workshop

Today was Pack 100's Pinewood Derby Workshop. Boys and their families picked up their derby car kits and thanks to our great volunteers - they were able to design, cut out and sand down their cars.

Anyone who did not receive a car kit can pick one up at the Pack Meeting on December 14th, or at one of the Den Meetings in January.

Please remember that you MUST check-in on the evening of January 23rd. ALL CARS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE CHECK-IN.

The Pinewood Derby Race will be held during the January Pack Meeting on Saturday, January 24th. We look forward to seeing everyone's car and having a great time.

Remember - do your best and congratulate the rest!

Webelos and the Firemen

The Webelos Is went to visit the men at Firestation 2 last Sunday. They got the opportunity to go over the first aid requirements for their Readyman Activity Badge. We want to give a great big thanks to the men for taking the time to let us and the Wolf den visit.

YIS,

Mrs. Ashley

A special visit

We want to thank Mr. Randy Burger for visiting with the pack at this past Pack Meeting. The boys were fascinated to hear about life as a SeaBee in the Navy. He was gracious enough to bring along some of his gear to let the boys see and touch as well. We wish him and his wife the best as he goes for his third tour in Iraq in December.

Yellow River Game Ranch

15 boys and their families visited the Yellow River Game Ranch today, fulfilling requirements for each Scouting level.

The boys all did wonderfully, being so kind to the animals and to each other. I'm so proud of everyone, I saw at least 4 boys picking up trash and placing it in trashcans without being prompted by an adult. That's true Cub Scout Spirit!

Also, welcome to the two new boys who joined our Pack today - I hope everyone had fun. We look forward to seeing you all next Sunday at our Den Meeting.

And here is the deer trying to eat my camera! (Good thing she didn't try to nibble on one of our Scouts!) ;)

Webelos Woods

I want to congratulate our Webelos boys who went to Webelos Woods. They had a blast! We participated in several events and the boys learned to work as a team. They were also able to do things that they will be able to do as Boy Scouts, but aren't able to as Cubs. With events like a pancake cook-off, orienteering, string burn, match strike, and stretcher relay, there was lots to do! So for those younger boys who didn't get to go this year, you have a lot of fun to look forward to when you get there.

Yours in Scouting,

Mrs. Ashley
