Veteran’s Rendezvous: PLEASE READ

We were asked several weeks ago if we would be willing to help out some of the local veterans at their yearly rendezvous this year. As an organization of which a main pillar is community service, we naturally said yes. The local veterans are depending on our support and assistance and currently we have only one scout signed up. Please click on the link below and sign your son up. The date and time of the event is 5/21/16 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM. It’s a great opportunity for the boys to meet some of the local veterans and show our appreciation for their service. Here is the sign-up link: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E49ACAB2DA4FB6-veterans1

April Pack Meeting: REMINDER… THE APRIL PACK MEETING WILL START AT 6:30 PM ON APRIL 26TH

Join us at this month's Pack Meeting for a fun-filled CARNIVAL put together by our Bear Den! The boys have been working for over a month to put this together, and it will serve to satisfy their "Grin and Bear It" Adventure. Everyone is sure to have a great time!

May Pack Meeting/Advancement Ceremony:

This meeting will be our last of the year and the culmination of a year’s worth of work! We will have an advancement ceremony, a leaders’ skit and possibly a helicopter visit! Based on your survey feedback we’re going to go with Tuesday, May 24th as the date of the ceremony. The location and time are still being sorted out, so we thank you for your patience! Final details to follow.

Magness Cub Scout Adventure Camp

At the upcoming pack meeting we will have a sign-up sheet where you can list your name, address and Magness camp out you wish to attend. We will submit this to the appropriate party and your scout will be eligible for a $10 discount. In the meantime, feel free to sign up for which ever session works best for you. You do not need to wait to fill out the sign-up sheet prior to registering for camp. As a reminder, the two sessions we are participating in as a pack are: July 24th – July 27th and July 29th – July 31st. The 1st session is a 4-day, 3-night session that takes place Sunday to Wednesday and the second session is a Friday through Sunday session. Please speak with your den leader to find out if there is a session they may be interested in having the den attend. To reiterate, the Magness CS Adventure camp is an outstanding time for our boys to get a great feel for what scouting is all about. Camping, fellowship, archery, BB guns, hikes, games, skits and SO much more.

BSA Activity

I’ve been looking forward to this event all year. There is SO much for your family to do at this event. Activities, crafts, trebuchets, Dutch oven cooked food and so much more! If you can make it, I highly recommend you take your scout!

The purpose of the annual Denver Area Council Scout Show is to showcase the Scouting program in a way that is accessible to both internal and external customers. It is an opportunity for program enhancement and recruiting for our existing units and a means to introduce Scouting to potential new chartered partners. New this year, Program Preview will occur during the Scout Show. For more information please check out the flyer.
