9/25 – Monthly Pack Meeting

Hi Pack 1776 Families 👋

We look forward to seeing you all this coming Wednesday, 9/25 for our September Pack Meeting!

Due to darker nights drawing in quickly, we must move the Pack Meeting from Sycamore Valley Park to Coyote Creek Elementary in the MRP from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm. We will focus this meeting on making Fitness Fun so we will be warming up before exercise, learning different exercises, and playing games outdoors.

Please bring along at least one flashlight 🔦 in case we don't have sufficient light throughout the evening.

Thank you and see you Wednesday.

Calling all adventurous young scouts and their families!

Join us for an exhilarating Rocket Day, the thrilling kick-off event of the cub scout calendar!

The anticipation mounts as the countdown begins, and together, we'll watch these mini-engineering marvels soar across the open field, filling the air with laughter and excitement.

Not only is Rocket Day an absolute blast, but it's also an excellent opportunity to meet new friends and welcome fresh faces into our scouting community.
