Hello Pack 1776 Families!
Just a quick reminder and invitation to our Outdoor Pack Meeting, Saturday Oct 15, from 2:00 to 6:00 at Lake Chabot Regional Park in Castro Valley. We are at the Elderberry picnic area (entrance to the picnic area is towards the end of the parking lot). See detail map here.
Like our indoor MPR pack meetings, all cubs and leaders should wear their snappy Class A uniforms, and get ready for the an event full of fun, crafts and entertainment.
Here's what we have in store:
2:00 Activity: Hiking Stick
The boy's will build their own personal hiking stick, to keep, decorate and use on future hikes.
2:15 Pack Hike
Tiger/Wolf hike along the lake, Bear/Webelos hike in the wilds of Castro Valley.
3:45-4:00 Skit Practice with Dens
"What's my line again?" Rehearsal makes for a great performance! Everyone does a skit, even the den leaders. Get ready to sing, dance and crack up at the funny skits. Say "good-bye" to "shy"!
4:05-5:05 Pack Meeting
Awards, and a special presentation of the Bobcat Badges to our new cubs as we welcome them to Pack 1776 by Committee Chair Steve and me.
5:00 Smores
When you're outdoors, they go great with the great outdoors.
If you're a little late, don't worry. Even if you miss the hike, we'll still have a fun pack event.
