Cub Scout Pack 250

Pack 250,

The Raingutter Regatta is coming fast – it’s on Tuesday at 7PM.
This race does not last as long as the Pinewood Derby because it is single-elimination.

Here is a reminder about the Pack rules for this event…

·         We’ll need one parent volunteer from each den to help that night.

·         Please be sure to seal the boat.  Balsa-wood will soak-up water and the boat will sink.

·         Materials not provided in the kit must be for decorative purposes only.

·         SINGLE-HULL designs ONLY. Read the rest of this entry »

Pack 250 Scout Familes,

Blue & Gold is a time to celebrate the 100th anniversary of scouting, a time to recognize our scouts and our leaders, and a time for graduation for Webelo II scouts into the Boy Scouts.  The theme is Happy Birthday BSA!  Dinner will be served!

Here is the information from the Evite: Read the rest of this entry »

No matter rain, sleet, or snow the Pack must march on!

Pack 250 braves the weather elements on Saturday December 5th 2009 and marches in the Fort Mill, SC parade. Luckily the rain held off for the parade but it was cold.

Pictured left are our Webelos getting ready with the lead flags for the parade in a Norman Rockwell style painting/photo .

The District asked our Pack to carry the Scouting for Food banner.

We had a fair turn out of scouts and parents. Read the rest of this entry »

Friday December 4 update:

Our spot for the parade is 42. The parade will start at 11am. Please be in line by 10:30am. Keep in mind that the roads leading to downtown Ft Mill will be closed off about 30 minutes before the parade begins. 

According to our spot last year, we will probably be close to the back of the cemetery or middle. Look for spot 42. Matt will be there with Westley. 

The parade is scheduled to go on rain or shine. If it is down pouring, they will make a decision by 8am.

Pack 250 Families,

The Pack will participate in the Fort Mill Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 5th. Scouts will walk the parade route. Dens are encouraged to bring their junkyard racer and take turns pushing and steering with adult help. Families are encouraged to walk with us. You may bring strollers or wagons for younger siblings. The Webelos dens will carry the Pack, State and United States flags.

Scouts must have an adult with them at all times. Tiger cubs must have a parent with them. Den Leaders may not take responsibility for tiger cubs, except their own scout. We can not make any exceptions to the rule. This is a BSA rule. Read the rest of this entry »
