The October Pack meeting will be at Wheelock on October 20, from
7:00-8:00pm, with a gathering activity beginning at 6:45. The theme for
this months meeting is Responsibility, and it's packed with exciting
stuff.
Annual CARVED PUMPKIN CONTEST!!!
In years past we have had the craziest, scariest and patriotic carved
pumpkins competing for bragging rights in four categories of
competition. The 4 prizes will be Funniest, Best Scout Spirit, Scariest
and Best Overall. Scouts with their families at home or at a den
meeting design and carve their own pumpkins. If you so choose, paint
them, adorn them with glitter or stickers, add a hat or other accessory,
and bring them to the Pack Meeting with confidence that you will win
the prize! If you do a quick google search for "carved pumpkin
designs" or add "scout" to this, you will get plenty of ideas, crazy,
scary or scout centric. So pick a good pumpkin, come up with a great
idea and get carving with your Scout! IF LIGHTING YOUR PUMPKIN, DO NOT
USE CANDLES, ONLY USE BATTERY OPERATED LIGHTING!
Bobcat Ceremony
The highlight of the start of the year for Tigers and
other new scouts, is the earning of their Bobcat award. Den Leaders
have reported back that all Tigers and New Scouts have completed the
requirements, so its time to recognize this! Brush up on your Cub Scout
Promise, the Law of the Pack, the Cub Scout Motto, the Cub Scout
Handshake, the Cub Scout Sign and the Cub Scout Salute. Be ready to
show this with other new scouts ( your Den Leader will be there to help!
), and earn your badge!
High Flying Conclusion
Den 8 will be doing an outdoor "high altitude" demonstration (weather
permitting) at the end of the meeting. Not to be missed!
Pack 200 is off to another great year, don't miss the fun!

The Overnight is FAST approaching!
Pack 200 has decided to have a Fall overnight campout at Hale
Reservation in Westwood, MA on October 15th/16th. Our campsite will be
ready at 2:00pm, but knowing the hectic schedules of people's weekends,
families can arrive later if other committments interfere at that time.
We will have various activities during the afternoon (capture the
flag, Frisbee golf, etc). After dinner, a tour guide will lead us on a
hike, and we will end up the day with a campfire, stories and S’mores. A
hot breakfast will be served on Sunday morning, then we will clean up
the campsite and people are free to go.
Scouts will be able to earn their Hiking Belt Loop, and there will be a
flag retirement ceremony on Saturday night. If you have a flag that
you would like to retire, please let Jim Hatch know when registering
with him.
In addition to that, can you add the part about earning the Hiking Belt
Loop if they don’t already have it and that we will be having a Flag
Retirement ceremony on Saturday night, so if anyone has any flags that
they would like to retire, let me know. Have them email me if they are
going and that I would like the money by next weekend.
The cost is $20 per person, if possible bring this to the Sept Pack Meeting.
ALSO, WE ARE TRYING TO GET A COUNT ON PEOPLE ATTENDING, IF YOU
CAN PLEASE EMAIL JIM HATCH BY SUNDAY OCTOBER 2 IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND.
Final registration closes Monday October 10.
Please RSVP email Jim Hatch at JAMESHATCH98@VERIZON.NET.
