May Pack Meeting - May 5th, 6pm
It's that time of the year when we all start thinking about summer camps for our scouts. Check out the offerings from CT Rivers Council this year here! Scouts will cross over to the next rank before the end of the school year. Lions will be Tigers, Tigers will be Wolves, etc.
This year CT Rivers Council has expanded their Residence Camp offerings (overnight) to scouts as young as Tigers offering both a full week option and mini-week. And as always they will be offering their day camp programs as well.
We have a nature program scheduled with the Conservation Center at 2:30pm on Saturday, After the nature program, the Webelos den will lead the pack on an easy hike through the preserve. There is no running water at the campsite - restroom facilities is a latrine near the campsite.
We will be using the Buddy System while we are camping.
Pack your Cub Scout Six Essentials.

In August we lead a parade around the Yard Goats stadium, watch a game, then pitch our tents to sleep over right on the field.
We organize a number of hikes and outings throughout the year.
Every January, our Scouts design and race their Pinewood Derby cars.
