Bears & Webelos at Stone Mountain

The Webelos I den and several Bears hiked the Cherokee Trail at Stone Mountain Park today. Here is the group before we started from the Playground.

On our way to the Grist Mill we crossed this bridge and took a break for a photo.

The group made it to the Grist Mill! This is only 2 miles into the hike. From here it was another 3 miles going uphill for a good while before descending and returning to the playground.

The boys were all tired when they finished, but they did it!

Rescheduled Webelos I

With the weather the way it was Sunday, the Webelos I will have two meetings this weekend. Saturday will be our hike (check email for details) and Sunday will be our standard den meeting. Other dens should check with their leaders for any updates.

Blue & Gold Banquet

We had an excellent turn out for our banquet. Our Webelos II will be missed now that they've crossed over into their new troops. Bear den 1 won 2nd in the center piece contest with the Webelos I winning first, congratulations to all of the boys for their hard work. Many thanks as well to the parents for providing food for the pot-luck dinner. It was definitely enjoyed with very little left over.

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

YIS,
