WOW! What a summer!!!
Once again our pack enjoyed a ton of fun over the
summer. A special thanks to all of the parents for volunteering & making
this summer great. Below are the activities & some of the key folks
involved. Also a big thank you to
those not mentioned below that also helped
out.
 Summer Camps
Here are your Summer Camp Coordinators. Don’t forget to tell them what a
great summer you had.
Day Camp –
Cindy Loveland
We
had 26 day camp scouts this year. Every scout had a parent volunteer one
day of the week, so 26 parents would also be involved. We do 7 rotations
per day in camp, including BB’s, archery, sports, crafts, camp skills (this
year we did survival and cooking and learned to make box ovens one day), a
rotation that included the jungle theme and nature.
CubWorld –
Kim Nonato
Goshen
– Yvette Bradle
Summer Activities
Coordinator - Liz
DeCastro
A special thanks to Liz for coordinating or assisting with
all of the great summer events and arranging for special discounts at
Imagination Stage.
Many of our scouts have earned the Individual Summertime Pack
Award. Den leaders have been
collecting the information & pins will be given to den leaders at a Pack
meeting. See your den leader for more information.

 Frederick Keys Sleepover –
John Frick
For the Frederick Keys sleepover we had 12 Scouts & Parents.
The scouts enjoyed running the bases after the game as well as fireworks.
After our tents were set up we enjoyed the movie Up on the jumbotron.
The movie ended around 1:00 AM & we were awakened at 6:45 AM to begin
breaking camp.
POP! POP! POPCORN!
We are really selling some popcorn this year. So far we have
sold over $5000 and have taken more than $1000 in donations & that only
includes the store front sales. We are waiting our next popcorn order to arrive
Sat & will be ready to book some more sales where Chocolate will be
available.
Our Popcorn Kernels, Barbara Smith-Brady &
Kim Nonato, have been hard at work on our
popcorn sales. The next &
LAST popcorn order
deadline is November 10th. All scouts are expected to sell $150 of
popcorn or pay the $100 popcorn opt-out fee.
There will be a several
Popcorn
Sales in October at Grocery Stores in our area. All scouts who work the store sale will be
credited towards their $150 quota.
Credit amounts will be equal to the total sales divided by the number of
hours each scout sold. Please watch
your e-mail for info on store sale sign-up & popcorn deadline &
delivery dates.

Message: Hi,
I found a balloon on Sept. 24th, while kayaking on the Potomac
River, near George Washington's birthplace. This is in
Westmoreland County, Virginia. I was exploring a deserted area
of beach and found your balloon washed up on the beach. The name
area said Hi, I'm "J" in the "2nd
grade". I'd like to see the final plot of where your balloons
landed, if you would put them on your website." Good luck with
your endeavor!
