The Weekly Newsletter of Cub Scout Pack 97    

November 30 , 2009


Pack Visitor

This week our Pack Visit is from a Scientist at Harris Teeter.  One of the activities the scouts will be participating in is product testing on a few of their Harris Teeter brand products vs Well Known brand products. 

Outdoor Games and Camping at Barnhardt

This weekend (December 4-6th) is our camping trip and Outdoor Games at Camp Barnhardt; where they will be able to participate in BB Guns, Archery, Canoeing, etc.  We did already submit our registration for this event, however, if you need to make any changes – please see me at Tuesday’s den meeting.  Payment for this event is all due this week.

PACK FOR COLD WEATHER!!!!!  Don’t forget your gloves, hats, hand warmers, etc.  This may be the weekend we earn our freezing camping bead or patch!

Our camping site is still being confirmed and hopefully Anthony will have confirmation on it before our den meeting.  He and Jackie both plan to be out at camp at 1pm on Friday.  When you arrive, tell whoever is doing the check-in you are with Pack 97 and they should be handing out maps and be able to direct you to the area our campsite will be.  Keep an eye out for the trailer and/or call Anthony’s cell or Jackie’s cell.

Below are links for this event which also include the agenda.
