What a busy Fall!

posted Dec 11, 2015, 8:16 PM by Cubmaster Pack 1014

Wow, we've had a crazy Fall!
  • We welcomed several new boys into Pack 1014, many of them have already earned their Bobcat badge.
  • We now have 58 boys in Pack 1014!
We've had some great activities this Fall!
  • Popcorn Sales - we had a record-breaking sale this year, thanks to a lot of hard work by a lot of young men, congrats to all! All of the boys will receive at least one award for selling popcorn, some will get many prizes including a BB gun.
    Due to the success, for any boy that goes to summer camp, we'll provide him with a $50 credit.

  • Haunted Forest Camping Trip - 29 boys, 27 parents and 6 siblings braved the frigid weather - and had a fantastic time at D-bar-A Scout Ranch in Metamora in October. Boys shot BB guns, went on hikes, caught lots of fish, and much more.

  • Webelos 2 Camping Trip with Boy Scout Troop 1005 - 12 Webelos Scouts went camping with a local Boy Scout troop at D-bar-A the same weekend. As a second year Webelos Scout, boys are invited to camp with a Boy Scout troop, so they can learn all about Boy Scouts.

  • Scouting for Food was in November, we partnered with the Eastover Girl Scout troop and collected food and clothing for the less fortunate, it was a record-breaking performance.

  • Gleaners Service Project - we sent 100 volunteers to Gleaners over the past two weekends to help in miscellaneous jobs, sorting and packing food, etc.
PLUS, all of the great, fun Den activities!!!
