Recent Camping at Elson Farm
Last weekend, we had 26 Cubs plus a lot of siblings, moms and dads come out for a weekend of camping.
A great trip. Turkey, potatoes, carrots, corn, pies, banana boats...and the favorite activity: playing in the hay bales.
And...the hiking trip did not get lost this year!
A huge thanks to all who helped before and at camp to make this event a success, especially:
Thanks to Keith B for letting us visit the farm for this 3rd annual turkey feast and 5th P661 Elson Farm trip.
Thanks to Nicole G and Jennifer C for all their prep on food - fantastic!
Thanks to Ron T for managing the schedule of events.
Lots more opportunities coming up! Watch for an "All about Camping" message in the next few days.

Popcorn Pick-Up
A huge sale! Over $26,000 in total sales this year. Wow.
Pick-up will be on Saturday November 21.
We are awaiting our warehouse pick-up time. Upon getting that, we'll announce our distribution location and times (here in USC late morning/afternoon).
We need help! We need some folks with vans/trucks who can go with us on Saturday morning to pick up at the warehouse and bring back for sorting. Please contact cubscouts661@verizon.net!
Upcoming Pack Meeting/Court of Honor
Tentative plans for this month's Pack Meeting, which will be a Court of Honor, are posted.
New Cubs! We love to award the Bobcat Advancement at this event. Make sure you get with your Den Leader to wrap up the requirements (first chapter of the book!)
All Cubs! We'll award belt loops, webelos pins, and advancements. Make sure your den leader is well aware of your progress!
December/January Gym Days
We've been trying to work out a couple of Saturday "gym days" to get the Cubs a chance to run around and exert some energy in the cold months and also work on physical fitness.Unfortunately, we haven't found a location that will work out (nope-no luck at new USC Rec Center/CRC).If anyone has an "in" at a location where we can have 60-75 boys + parents come run around and be nuts, please contact cubscouts661@verizon.net
Scout Sunday
Save the morning of Feb. 7 for Scout Sunday. We are working with Westminster to have the Cubs be an integral part of Services as we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Scouting!
Pinewood Derby
Stay Tuned. An "All About Pinewood Derby" message will come out in December!
