Good afternoon Pack 359 Family! I hope we all had a fantastic first day of school! Whether your family is back to traditional school or remote learning, we wish you the best success this year.

There was a mistake on the flyer! Our “Back To Scouts” kick-off rain gutter regatta and water day is Saturday, August 15th!  Please update your calendars (Pack Calendar – https://etacpack359.org/calendar).  The times and activities are still correct; the date is just incorrect.  Again, Saturday, August 15th, is the rain gutter regatta and water day.

Howdy Pack 359! I am so excited to get back to scouting!  We have a fun-filled season planned and cannot wait to see you all soon!  Our annual dad and cub cake bake is taking a backseat this year due to COVID but we have something even more fun planned!  We are going to do a rain gutter regatta/water day this year!  This will be a bring a friend event so see the attached flyer for all the details!  We cannot wait to have some back to scouting fun with you all!
