First Pack Meeting of the school year, Monday September 12, 6:30 pm
Welcome to the new 2016/2017 School Year and the startup of our regular pack and den meetings. We are planning an exciting year. Our first Pack meeting of the year will be on Monday, September 12 at Bethany Presbyterian Church on Queen Anne Ave from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.
We’re starting the year with a BLAST. STOMP ROCKETS!
Cub Scouting is a family participatory activity. On Monday, you’ll be helping your boys build the stomp rockets. You’ll also help your den build a launcher. You’ll fire them off a couple/few times. Experiment. Talk about the science of rockets. Rebuild them. Fix them when they break. You can then go home and do some more experimenting together with your son. In addition, many of the dens will also continue stomp rocketing at an upcoming den meeting. You’ll see who has the coolest rocket. The fastest rocket. The rocket that goes the highest, longest, straightest, craziest trajectory… If you’re intrigued, here’s a quick video on one way to build them. But, you can do your own design as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSS6ybomPLk Hint: Watch it at 2X speed and it takes only 2 minutes. Click on the cog wheel.

Queen Anne Days - Sat., July 9

Our outgoing Web 2 parents have graciously offered to help run this event, but we really need current Cub Scout parents to help out with shifts throughout the day. If you're in town, please consider helping out - it's a long day for just a few parents to run, and a great time getting to make kids happy all day! |

It takes just over an hour to get to camp from Seattle. There are tents where families can sleep together. They generally sleep about 3, though I imagine 4 could cram in. There are also 8 person cabins, which are gender specific. So, if Charlie and John wanted to sleep with all the boys, then you could sleep in a tent or in the women's cabin.
