• Upcoming events (Family Fun Festival, Fall Family Campout, Vala's Pumpkin Patch)

Parents, please bring your checkbook - we need to get our scouts registered early this year. Thanks!

1st Pack Meeting of the Year!

Welcome back, scout families! We kick off our scouting year with the first Pack meeting on Monday, August 25th at 7pm in the St. Columbkille Parish School Gym. (Pack meetings are for ALL cub scouts, 1st - 5th grade.) This Open House will have some info for kids coming to check out our Pack, but will mostly be a fun time: The School of Rock band (which includes kids) will perform and talk about their music. Don't miss it!

Join us for the April Pack Meeting: Scout Olympics!

The whole family is invited to join us for the 1st Annual Scout Olympics on Monday, April 14th at 6:30 pm at the St. Columbkille School Gym (the big parking lot by the playground).  We are starting early so that we have time to recognize the Tigers, Bears, and Webelos scouts as they all advance and earn their badges!  After the award presentation we will begin a fun night of Olympic events to test our brave cub scouts.  We will end the night by 8:30 pm (our normal time).

See you there, Olympians!

TIME UPDATED: Scouting For Food

When: Saturday – 5 April
Time: 3pm
Meet: St Columbkille’s School North Parking Lot by the library door

Due to the forecast for Saturday morning (very cold, 25F windchill), we are moving the Scouting for Food event from 9am to 3pm Saturday afternoon, when it will be warmer (but windy).  We apologize for shifting plans, but safety comes first.

Join us for the 2013 Winter Lock-in!

Join us for the Winter Lock-in on Friday, January 10th at 7:00 pm in the Social Level. Families are invited for the Pack Meeting and all the activities to follow. Scouts (and adults) are invited to stay the night. (Please eat dinner before arriving.)

ALL NEW this year!  We are skipping the movie and adding lots of fun activities, including: a visit from an insect expert, cookie-making, and fun pottery painting!  Plus kickball in the gym.  Come have fun even if you cannot sleep-over in the Social Level (with donuts in the AM), but that part is fun, too!  We will have a quick pack meeting to start the night and then move right into the activities, which will conclude by 9:30 or 10:00 pm.  For those that stay over-night, we will leave for home by 8am Saturday.
Make sure you bring a flashlight, as we may have a game that requires it!

Note: this is a cub scout lock-in, so we DO sleep (unlike the boy scouts who stay up all night).

Things to bring if you are staying overnight:
sleeping bag
air mattress or pad, something to sleep on
pajamas
toothbrush/toothpaste
pillow
flashlight
earplugs (snoring defense for adults)

Since this is an overnight event, Class A uniforms (blues and neckerchief) are not necessary – the yellow pack t-shirts (Class Bs) are fine for the Lock-in on Friday. Also, a parent must stay with their scout if they are sleeping in the Social Level. Again, only scouts can stay overnight, not their siblings, so that our group doesn't get unmanageable :O) Thanks for your understanding...
