In March, we had a much smaller pack meeting than usual since so many of our Webelos scouts just bridged to Scouts BSA. Even though our pack is now a bit smaller for the rest of the school year, we still plan to have a lot of fun with our younger scouts. This month, we created CARboard Car Racers and raced them around the MPR. Den 8 won for the fastest racer. Den 20 won for the coolest design!

January was a busy month for us since we had a sunrise hike, our pinewood derby race, and a pack meeting. We wrapped up the month with a plunger race. This time, the scouts used just one plunger instead of two like usual. It was NOT EASY to win races!

Our annual Pinewood Derby was back in person this January. Last year, we didn’t race due to COVID restrictions, but this year, we got back to in-person racing and had a bunch of fun the whole morning. We had 70 cars in total including scouts, siblings, and adults. Our pack-wide speed winners Anya and Alisha are the first ever girls to win overall in our pack!

Going on hikes is a big part of cub scouting and as part of our monthly hiking program, we took a sunrise hike in January. Since we started out before sunrise, it was pretty cold and a little overcast, but it was still a lot of fun to hike in the beautiful green hills along the Tassajara Ridge.

in December we conducted our annual sock drive where pack members bring in new socks to donate to local shelters. Prior to donating though, we had a snowball toss! Scouts wrapped up socks in balls and had fun playing in the MPR. At the end, we had a huge snowfall of socks! Don’t worry, we wash the socks before donating 🙂

We had a fun first pack meeting to kick off the school year. This is the first in-person Pack meeting since February 2020! Since we have so many scouts who are brand new to scouting, we conducted a Bobcat adventure on the spot where our more experience scouts helped our new scouts complete the adventure. Parents then presented their new scouts with the Bobcat badge. We also played the spaghetti race for our activity. The scouts got a surprisingly large number of noodles into their cups! Here are some pictures from our pack meeting: Here’s the presentation from the meeting:
