Summertime Pack Events
Howdy Pack 73!!!
I hope everyone is having a great summer so far. I am sending out this message to let all of you know about our exciting events planned for the Cubs this July and August! If your Scout attends an event in both July and August, they can earn the Summertime Pack Award Pin to wear on their uniform!
DAY CAMP August 1st-5th
First off, our council still has one more week available for Day Camp in Exton! Some of the Cubs from our Pack attended the Malvern camp and had a lot of fun!! To register, visit https://www.cccbsa.org/programs/camping/cub-camping/cub-scout-day-camp/
JULY: A Canoe Trip July 24th 1:00pm
This month, come join the Pack for a fun trip paddling up the Schuylkill Canal and returning back on the River for a fun loop. Please let me know if you and your Scout want to join us so we can get a quote on the price and arrange the boats.
AUGUST: A Bike Hike August 7th 1:00pm
In August we will embark on a bike ride from the Upper Schuylkill Valley Park to Lock 60 and back. When we return to the park we can go visit the animals.
PACK 73 HIKING CLUB August 21st 1:00pm
August will also be the first (of many) hikes for our Packs Hiking Club.This hike will be an out and back along the Chapel Trail in Valley Forge led by the Cubmaster (me) starting at the Washington’s Headquarters Parking Lot. More details to follow about what our new Hiking Club is all about.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
We are seeking parents to volunteer as leaders in our Pack. I would really like an Assistant Cubmaster to help me out and to take over as Cubmaster when my tenure is complete. We are always looking for Den Leaders and assistants as well as just some parents to join our Pack Committee. Another exciting opportunity is to be in charge of our annual Popcorn Fundraiser as our Packs Popcorn Kernel. The Popcorn Kickoff is on July 21st at PARC in Exton, and I would like someone to join me at that event to learn what we need to know to have a successful Popcorn sale this year.
I hope to see all of you soon!
Have a happy summer!!
