Open House Recruiting
Pack 163 had a presence at the Open House events at Brookvale and Warwick Elementary Schools last night.
Although our Scout program tends to wind down during summer vacation, we do have a few events planned for summer in addition to the Cub Scout camps for current Scouts. We are planning a Movie Night in July and a BBQ Picnic in late August.
Check this site for updates to our summer programs.
Pack Meeting March 30
Hi Everyone,
Yes, it is that time for our next pack meeting on Tuesday, March 30th, at Brookvale Elementary School at 7 pm.
Please arrive early so that the scouts (and siblings) can make paper airplanes. We are going to have a game later on that will test their flying skills.
- The Tiger Cub Den will be have some kind of presentation with a joke or two thrown in.
- The Wolf Den will be bringing cookies (or other goodies).
- The Bear Den will be handling ticket sales.
- And the Webelos will be doing the Flag Ceremony.
We will have a representative from the BSA Council coming by to talk about the Friends of Scouting program. This program raises money for a lot of other programs in our council and district (camps upkeep and improvements, Camperships, insurance, building and council support, etc.).
See you all on Tuesday, March 30th!
Regards,
Robert Cook
Cubmaster, Pack 163

Hi Everyone, Happy Birthday for the Boy Scouts of America!
Today, marks the 100th annivarsary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America, February 8, 1910.
A quote from the founder of the Scouting movement, Robert Baden-Powell reads as “We never fail when we try to do our duty, we always fail when we neglect to do it” sums up the Cub Scout Motto “Do Your Best”.
I wish everyone a great year on this special occasion.

Scouting Stamp Coming in 2010
The U.S. Postal Service gave scouting ‘a stamp of approval’ to honor 100 years of the U.S. scouting movement. The Celebrate Scouting stamp, which will be sold in the summer of 2010, coincides with the Boy Scouts of America’s 100th anniversary.
The new Celebrate Scouting stamps will go on sale nationwide and will be dedicated in July 2010 at the Boy Scout Jamboree at Ft. A.P. Hill, VA.
The Boy Scouts of America will celebrate its 100th anniversary on February 8, 2010. To mark this milestone, the organization has undertaken nationwide celebration efforts that reintroduce the organization to today’s young people and families, reinforce the value of scouting, and reconnect with the millions the organization has impacted.
