Scouting For Food: Part 2

Posted on Nov 12 2025 - 6:19pm

Scouting for Food Part Two will be held this Saturday, rain or shine.  We will meet at 9 am at Del Rey for a brief safety talk and to form new groups with scouts who did not attend Part One. Then we will head out into our assigned sections.

Each group will need a driver who can slowly drive along while the bags of food are collected and placed in the trunk.  You can use a wagon and collect on foot, but wagons can fill up, so a car is recommended.  Collections will be brought back to Del Rey.

T-shirts were distributed at the campout, we have t-shirts set aside for those that did not attend the campout, they will be passed out at the next pack meeting.  If your scout was at the campout and did not get a T-shirt, please let us know so we can set one aside.

If you need to exchange t-shirt sizes, please let us know as we have extras in all sizes.

If you would like to buy extra T-shirts, we have a couple of adult shirts and several kid sizes available.  

Campout Registration Closes Today (Monday)

This year, our Fall campout will be at the Hawk Ridge Campsite at Lake Chabot. The campout is optional, but highly recommended.  You can have almost the full experience by attending just the daytime/evening activities if you are still hesitant about camping overnight. We earn several advancements at the campout, usually two optional and one required.

Paper Rockets - Wednesday August 27 - MPR 6pm

Posted on Aug 24 2025 - 8:48am

Join us for our annual paper rocket launch kick-off.

At 6:05-ish we will have a quick opening ceremony and a brief demonstration of how to build the rockets.  Art supplies and construction materials will be out on the tables.  We will have a couple of older scouts roaming around to help with construction as needed.

When most of the rockets have been completed, we will wander out to the black top for our launches. 

We’ll need 3-4 parent volunteers to help supervise the air pumps, and the younger scouts will need help pumping as well.  We also need 1 or 2 standing bicycle air pumps with pressure gauges. Please let me know if you have one you can bring.  If we don’t have enough volunteers, a couple of lucky parents will be recruited from the audience.
