REI Concord’s Scout Night this weekend
Date: Saturday, February 26, 2011
Time: 7pm - 9pm
Location: REI Concord
Cost: Free
Pre-registration required online
From REI Concord:
Join us for a special evening of fun and educational activities planned for Scouts of all ages and gender. Perfect for leaders and parents of younger Scouts who will soon begin camping and backpacking and for older Scouts who want to take it to the next level.
Learn what gear to choose (and avoid!) in our various gear, clothing and footwear mini-clinics. Find out about outdoor recreational and conservation project opportunities in 2011 from East Bay Regional Park District and Save Mount Diablo representatives. Activities for kids will include climbing on our indoor wall and zany contests like mini geo-caching, tent building and sleeping bag stuffing.
We'll have lots of prizes and a raffle for some great gear any Scout would love to own. Younger Scouts will enjoy meeting Chipper and learning Leave No Trace principles in a fun, interactive way. All Scouts who arrive in uniform will receive a 15% off coupon for one full-priced item, with limited exclusions.
Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or Scout leader and adequate adult supervision must be provided for each Scout group that attends. Pre-registration is required. Find out more online.

Pack 1776,
We would like to acknowledge the following scouts:

for their participation at the special prayer service at the Cathedral of Christ the Light on February 12, honoring all the scouts and their adult leaders in Scouting. Pictures of the event is available on SmugMug.
If your scout is interested in earning the religious award or emblems of faith, please inform your den leaders. More information of the BSA Religious Emblems Program can be found on the BSA website. Remember, “a Scout is Reverent…”
