We had a great planning meeting at Panera Bread and confirmed details for the next two month's of meetings and events. Check out the details under each event on our calendar (above). Coming up next will be the Cake Walk on January 11th, so let's all hit the kitchens and make some creative cakes. Awards will be presented for each cake based on some pretty whacky categories.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! And for Janary 7th -- GO BUCKS!

Fall Campout Pictures
The weather was perfect this year at our Pack Fall Campout at camp Manatoc. We started the afternoon setting up tents -- OK a LOT of tents. Then dove into a great pasta dinner, thanks to the efforts of the Kozar family.
At night, we played Ghost in the Graveyard, went on a night hike and had a S'mores around the campfire. Scouts also enjoyed the classic Scout skit "If I were not a Boy Scout" performed by our leaders.
After a great night's sleep, we arose to the smells of cooking bacon and eggs as well as a plethora of bagels, fruit, danishes, muffins, etc. Then dens participated in some team-building exercises like crossing the "river" on two boards and rope-assisted climbing. We wrapped it up with a hike through the beautiful fall colors to the old Quarry.
More pictures coming soon!

Fall Camp 2007
Scouts, get ready for the spectacular FALL CAMP coming October 19 and 20. We'll be staying overnight at the Valley View and Vale Edge Cabins at the Manatoc Scout Reservation. Click here for directions.
Bring a warm sleeping bag and change of clothes. There is water and electricity in the two cabins, but some might wish to stay in the Klondike shelters outside. Webelos will be staying in tents! We'll have a dinner brought in Friday night, a campfire with s'mores, then cook breakfast Saturday morning. Camp will adjourn by noon.
So bring an appetite for fun and be prepared to play some cool games!
Items to bring to the camp-out:
· Sleeping Bag and Pillow
· Scout book
· Flashlight
· Rain gear
· Change of clothes (if rain/snow is in the forecast I recommend several changes of clothes)
· Plenty of socks
· Completed Class I Medical Form for both Adults and kids (print from this link)
· Water bottle or canteen (for hiking) (There is Akron city water at the site)
· Snack (for Friday Night and hiking)
Optional Items:
· Tent (If anyone wants to tent camp instead of sleeping in the cabin – tents REQUIRED for Webelos)
· Board Games
· Any type of Craft item that the scout might want to work on (There are Kits available at Kamper City)
BSA rules prohibit the use of any type of liquid fuel type lanterns.
We will need to provide firewood for the wood fired stoves and campfire; please bring an arm load of wood with you if possible. Depending on temperatures, fires may need to be maintained through the night. This require two adults to be up at all times though out the night for fire watch.

**The Pack will provide hotdogs for lunch, but other lunch items should be supplied by each individual scout. Each Den will be responsible for cleaning up after lunch.
Each den will be responsible for any clean from their activity prior to leaving. If anyone decides to leave early, please insure that you clean-up your area prior to leaving and inform your den leader.
The scouts must be supervised at all times. There may be other Cub Scout Packs or Boy Scout Troops also camping, so we need to insure that we do not disturb them anymore than we would want them to disturb us. If we do have any problems, please bring them to the attention of Pat Hoban or your den leader immediately so that we can get them resolved as quickly as possible.
The Webelos will prepare breakfast on Saturday morning (bacon and eggs). Wolves & Bears will be responsible for the breakfast clean-up.

2007 Webelos Resident Summer Camp
This year's Webelos Resident Camp had a movie theme to it. Each patrol was named after a particular type of movie: "The Silents", "Adventures", "Comedies", etc. We were of course, "The Comedies". Our Scouts enjoyed shooting BB guns, bow and arrows, swimming in the pool and LOTS of hiking around. This year's camp was only 2 1/2 days (one day shorter than last year) and happened concurrently with the Boy Scout Camp. The best part of the camp was seeing the corny skits, which you can always count on.
