Good Evening Pack! Fall Family Camp registration closes tonight at midnight! We are returning to Camp Pirtle this weekend. Please register your family at https://etacpack359.org/familycamp.

The kids have so much fun playing with each other outside, AND two meals are already cooked for you- so you only have to worry about Saturday lunch and Sunday breakfast. On Saturday, after breakfast, a group of Scout families will visit the Henderson Syrup Festival – which I’ve heard is very fun (and free). Several families will also stay at camp to relax, fish, or hike. You’re welcome to do either one, but please confirm any den-level activities with your Den Leaders.
