Fall Family Campout

Are you ready for some good, old fashioned fun?! The Pack Fall Family Camp Out is almost here! Join us on Friday, October 5th at Walnut Creek Lake Recreation Area. We arrive at 5pm on Friday and will leave by about 9am Saturday morning.  Don't forget that this is also our Pack Meeting for October. You don't want to miss the scouts performing skits and the fun campfire songs (also our new Bobcats will be awarded their patches). The entire family is invited for all the fun. Join us for our cookout, games, and treats – rain or shine.  Food and drinks will be provided by the pack. All are invited to camp overnight, but if you cannot stay overnight please join us for the pack meeting and campfire...
