Mom & Me ***UPDATE***

Happy Friday Scout Families!  A quick update for Mom & Me: We will be at campsite 4. If you get there early, please set up close to the tree lines so there is plenty of space for latecomers to set up in the middle. *** ONE LAST REMINDER TO BRING HEALTH FORMS A & B FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS (if you have not already turned them in) AND A COPY OF YOUR YPT (YPT can be shown on your phone). *** Some experienced families who have been to Camp Pirtle before will be going out tonight. This is NOT recommended for people who have not been to Camp Pirtle and/or have not camped before. There will not be staff on-site until Saturday morning; tonight, no one will…

Mom & Me Details

Mom & Me is this Saturday. We are still waiting on a few details, but here is a camping checklist so you can start packing! There is a link below for a map of Camp Pirtle (Map of GWP). I recommend you print a copy and bring it with you. The camp is much larger than it looks. If you have not already turned in Health Forms A & B for all participants and YPT for all adults, you must bring these with you to camp! Please turn them in to Somer Bockover. Complete YPT as soon as possible. Once completed it takes up to a day for the certificate to become available online, and cell service is not great. Check-in is Saturday morning from…

Reminders!

Welcome to the super busy October! I know you are busy getting ready for Mom and Me if you are joining us and we hope that you are, but please don’t forget that we have our bear carnival Monday night immediately following the pack meeting. We are asking that you be there no later than 6 PM to set up your carnival game outside. We will be reserving the part of the parking lot closest to the playground for the bear carnival due to voting in the fellowship hall. Please remember that your Scout will be running their own game and will need to have candy or prizes to pass out. This will be held outside so bring a jacket! If you have any questions or…

Meeting Tonight

Hello Wolf Families! I look forward to seeing everyone this evening. We’ll talk about what to do during severe weather and play a game fun game. I’ve also included this video that teaches us how to learn the leave no trace principles for scouts. We’ll be learning this and reviewing the Outdoor Code throughout our scouting year. Here is the video.  Thank you! Lacey

No meeting tonight

Reminder we are not meeting tonight. I will send out information about mom & me later this week. Next week is our first pack meeting. Our group is doing flags and our song. I hope you all are enjoying the fall break. Kathy

No Meeting Tonight

Bear Den, There will not be a meeting tonight but Somer will be there from 6:30-7 to discuss any concerns or needs for the Mom & Me campout this weekend.  Scouts need to finalize their games for the Pack meeting/Bear Carnival next Monday, October 24th. Remember, anyone 18+ camping with scouts needs to complete Youth Protection Training (YPT).  This training takes about 1.5-2 hours and must be completed every 2 years.  Go to my.scouting.org, create an account or log on with Google, click on Youth Protection Training (YPT) and complete the training.  A certificate will be emailed to you within 24 hours so be sure to check your spam folder.  There isn’t much service at Camp Pirtle so please complete it PRIOR to Saturday.  If…

Hello Wolf Families! We would love to have you and your scouts in the Rose Parade tomorrow!

We will meet on the South East (Bottom Right) of the intersection across from the UT Health EMS Services building. You will most likely need to park somewhere else and walk to the meeting location.
