Purgatory Chasm

Special thanks goes out to Kshama Sathaye for organizing the Pack’s first outing of the year. It was a huge success and the Scouts had a fantastic time exploring the rock features. Paul Guditz says they have dedicated Scout camp sites at Purgatory Chasm if any of the Dens are interested. Great work to all the parents who helped keep the Scouts together and safe!

Welcome to a new Cub Scout year!

Welcome back Pack 1 Scouts and Parents,

Hope you all had a great summer and are excited about the upcoming scouting year.  Our first pack meeting will be Friday, September 9th 2011, 7:00pm at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church located at 472 Massachusetts Ave, across from the Jr. High.  We have an outstanding year planned for the Scouts and our first Pack meeting will focus on previewing the many upcoming activities.

The theme of the meeting will be recycling and water conservation.  We will have a presentation from the Acton Water District on how we can conserve water and the many free resources and rebates available to Acton residents.

Going with the recycling theme, we will be kicking off our Pack Uniform Recycling Program.  If you would like to participate, please contribute at least one uniform article (such as a scarf, slide, hat, shirt, book, belt, etc) or gently used camping gear. This will be your ticket to pick out something that you need for the upcoming year.

Update: 9/10

A big thanks to the Wolf den for being our hosts! Here are a few pictures by Sudhir Srinivasan. The first is a picture of Matt Mostoller, a former Eagle Scout who now works for the Acton Water District, explaining about water conservation to the boys. (Thanks, Matt!)

Here are the boys doing the crab walk during a recycling game:
