Rules for Cub Scouts Snowball Fight

The “snowball” fight has been a tradition at Pack 163 for many years and is a highlight of our December Pack Meetings. The snowballs are made of crumpled newspaper which is wadded into a ball and the wrapped with masking tape (not duct tape!). Something a little larger than baseball sized is ideal.

Popcorn Kickoff Meeting - Sept 15

We begin another new Scouting year, and I would like to invite all of you to the Popcorn Kick Off meeting. We are set for Wednesday, September 15th @ 7:00 pm at Brookvale school. Please mark this date in on your calendars.

At the meeting we will touch on a the concept, fun and benefit of the popcorn sales that we do each year. Remember, that popcorn sales are what help allow our Pack to do a lot of the special events such as the Pinewood Derby, Blue and Gold Dinner as well as provide for the awards books and scarves. This is also what keeps our annual dues down as well.

At the meeting we will primarily focus on our Show and Sell that we have at Dale Hardware each year.

This year we will be selling on a few dates. All three are Sundays, beginning with Sunday September 19th and consecutive Sundays, October 3rd and 10th. We will be selling from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm on all three dates. Each shift will consist of two hours and I would like to have an upper level Scout paired with a young Scout.
