Cub Scout Pack 375 March 2019 Newsletter |
|
|
It's hard to believe that this is the last newsletter that some of you will be receiving from Pack 375. Some of the Scouts receiving their Arrow of Light next week have been with the Pack for 5 years! It will be sad to see them go, but I am excited for them to start the next journey in their lives. All of the Scouts in our pack have been busy with fun activities and earning new awards. I'll highlight a few of those activities below and we will recognize the awards next Thursday at our Blue & Gold Banquet and Crossover Ceremony. What do you call a plate after dinner? |

Pack 375 Spring Campout May 3 - 5, 2019 We have reserved the entire group camping area at Black Moshannon State Park for our Spring Campout. More details will follow as the date gets closer, but please mark your calendars now. For families who are not ready for tent camping, there are a limited number of cabin and RV camping sites available in the park, but in a different location from the group camping area. You are welcome to reserve and stay in those sites and join us in the group camping area for our activities. These sites fill up quickly, so make sure to book them ASAP. |

Scouts in Action Our Scouts have been busy representing Pack 375 in the community this mont. Here are a few highlights: |
|
|
Our Tiger Den visited the Alpha Fire Company to tour their station, explore fire trucks and try on some equipment. What fun! |
|
|
The Park Forest Wolf Den made headlines with their contributions to the Jared Box Project! They were featured in the Jared Box Newsletter and in the Centre Daily Times. "They had a lot of fun putting them together and are excited for them to help kids feel better." |

|
A group of Scouts from Pack 375 and siblings performed the Flag Ceremony at the Bryce Jordan Centre before the Harlem Globetrotters performance! |
