Twilight Camp 2010 June 7th - June 11th

Pack 95 has lots of scouts and parents who will enjoy this great yearly event at the Pasadena Convention Center. But there are a few hints we have to ensure you have the best time possible:

WHAT TO BRING TO TWILIGHT:

1) A sack dinner and drink. Remember NO mayonnaise on the sandwich unless you like hospital emergency rooms
2) Bottle of water with a 1" lid
3) Sunscreen and bugspray
4) Pencil, hat and rain poncho
5) Wear camp t-shirt and wristband, shorts, socks, and closed toe shoes
6) 5 gallon bucket with lid to serve as storage and a seat
7) Money for the trading post (optional)
8) Water gun
9) Optional extra pair of socks, towel, or water shoes

Please make sure your scout is fully hydrated before arriving each afternoon to camp. The first hour of camp is especially hot.

Pack 95 Bicycle Rodeo, June 22nd

It is not too soon to dig those bicycles out of the garage or shed and start getting ready for our Pack 95 bicycle rodeo. While the details of this event are being developed, there is plenty of time to get those scouts in tip-top rodeo condition. Stay tuned for details.

WANTED - The Next Wave of our Pack 95 Leaders

The recent Arrow of Light ceremony was an event where our Webelo 2 scouts crossed over to become boy scouts. CONGRATS TO ALL OF THEM. But as we watch them advance, we also see some of our top leaders sadly leave the pack as well. A special thanks to these leaders is also in order.

With change is opportunity and here is a chance to make a real difference in your boy's life by filling a pack leadership position. Besides the obvious positive affect this has with your son, you will also help steer the direction of the pack with your ideas and strong will. Leaders will become stronger leaders and those who have never had an opportunity like this will gain valuable leadership qualities which are useful in all facets of life. Enough lecture, here are our open positions for the next scouting year:

Assistant Cubmaster I

Assistant Cubmaster II

Activities Chair

Pack Trainer

Scout Parent Coordinator

Descriptions for these positions can be found here:

Achievement Tracking Program - Scouttrack

Pack 95 has been utilizing the Scouttrack software program to track each of our scout's achievements for the past 2 months. This one-stop program is an excellent way to allow each of us to track achievements, send e-mails, and view the pack's calendar. For parents, this is a great way to know your scout's progress on his achievements in real-time. Because it is web based, simply migrate to the site with the link below or on the menu bar to the left, log-in by entering your e-mail address and a login name and password will be e-mailed to you. Any issues with the program should be sent to Meri Dix.

Here is the link ==> www.scouttrack.com

This is the 100th year of the Boy Scouts of America!! Holy cow, it seems like only yesterday. To celebrate this milestone, the BSA has a program that all scouts and leaders can participate in. Many more details on the program can be found at:
