It was another fun weekend for moms and scouts up at the ranch – despite the hail??!!!   Many thanks to the Webelo I’s for the puppet show and the campfire skits.  You made us all laugh.

On a personal note, this is my last year as chair of the Mom and Me.  I’d like to thank those moms who have put so much effort into making this event special for the boys both before and during the weekend.   There would be no Mom and Me if the moms didn’t pitch in to work together.  Special thanks to Anna Abell, Sarah Cerone, Gina Gray, Jenny Miller, Chestra Peaselee, Francesca Sobeck, Anne Marie Vecchio  and Tammy Velthoven, who have done much more than their fair share for years now.   Megan Piskie

Once again the Moms and scouts had a weekend of fun at the DbarA.  Highlights included the Moms’ victory at tug of war; shooting bb guns, and “Brave Bob”, the frog that survived being swallowed by a snake.  Special thanks to the Webelos for hosting the campfires and s’mores; to the Wolves for entertaining us all with a skit, and to the Bears for the unforgettable Shark Song!  Thanks also to all the moms for pulling together to keep the boys fed and busy with their achievements.  See you at the ranch next October!

New to Scouting or just starting with Shrine?  We have a great cub scout pack that is ready for your sons and parent both to enjoy.  From monthly pack events to optional extracurricular events throughout the year we have something for everyone.

To kick things off we have scheduled time on September 12th to allow parents and kids to come and ask questions about our Pack. Check out the events page for more details.

New Tiger Cubs (1st Graders)

If you have a first grade son this year, have you considered signing them up for cub scouts?  We have several fun events planned for the year, including our annual “Mom and Me” Campout, the “Dad and Lad” Campout, ice fishing, pinewood derby car racing, raingutter regatta boat racing, and spending the night on the Silversides World War II submarine as well as a lot of smaller events throughout the year.  The time commitment for cub scouts is minimal, typically just two days per month and we are very flexible so there is no penalties or hard feelings if there are other events that conflict with scouting.  We have a fun time at our events, and if you can join us “Great!”, if not “no problem”.  Siblings can also come if you don’t have a way to provide babysitting!

Does this sound fun?

Consider coming out on our “Join Scouting Night” this upcoming Wednesday evening September 12 in the Grade School Cafeteria at 7:00pm.  We will answer any questions you have about scouting, and will have the forms and information available for you to sign up for cub scouts.  If you are sure you are signing up, you can also follow the link below and fill out the registration forms required.  We also have the calendar for the year posted under Events and if you sign up for our mailing list you will be reminded of anything fun that is upcoming.
