Happy Summer Pack 442!!! Summer break is drawing to a close and the school year will start in less than two weeks. While you all are getting your school supplies together, awaiting your teacher assignments, and about to start fall sports, there is plenty of scouting activities to get excited about! Check out the latest Cubmaster Corner and mark your calendars for our Kick-Off Swim Party and 1st Pack Meeting of the scouting year!
I also wanted to take a moment to thank all of you that came our and supported the Lakeway City 4th of July Parade! The annual Independence Day parade is a beloved Lakeway tradition! Scouts from all ranks joined together to decorate a float and support our community. It was a great opportunity to celebrate our Pack's accomplishments and introduce ourselves to those new to the area! All of the scouts and parents that joined had a great time and represented out pack well! Many thanks to Mr. Kener for all his help and puling the trailer!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Welcome Back Swim Party - Sunday August 18th 6:00-8:00pm @ Lakeway Swim Center
Bring your bathing suit and a friend you think may be interested in joining Cub Scouting! This is our kickoff to our fall recruiting season and it’s a great time to tell your friends you see back at school about all the fun you’ll have at scouts. Scouts who recruit a friend to join, will earn the “Recruiter Strip” to wear on their uniform. Also Scouts who attend will have the opportunity to earn the swimming adventure for their rank!
Please take a moment to RSVP to help us know how much pizza to order. Details HERE!
New Member Information Session - Monday August 19th 7:00pm Online via Zoom
If you are new to the Pack or know someone who couldn’t make the Pool Party, they can get all the information on Cub Scouts and Pack 442 during this virtual meeting. Details for the zoom call are provided in the event page. As always, if you know anyone interested, they do not need to wait until August just have them fill out the RSVP on our website:
Please take a moment to send the event to anyone you think may be interested in joining. Details HERE!
August Pack Meeting (Parent Orientation & Bobcat Adventure) - Monday August 26th 6:30pm - 8:00pm @ Lakeway Church Fellowship Hall
This is our first Pack Meeting for ALL SCOUTS (returning and new) in Pack 442! New this year is that the Bobcat is now a required adventure for all scouts to earn for their rank, teaching and reinforcing scouting fundamentals (Oath, Law, etc,) at each grade level. While scouts are working with the dens on Bobcat, Josh & I will be talking to ALL parents of Pack 442 to discuss details of the 2024-2045 scout year. We’ll be discussing our Pack goals of our scouting year, important information about the schedule, details of communication while answering everyone’s questions about the calendar, fundraising, advancement, and community engagement. This is also a great opportunity to complete any needed paperwork, make payments, and ask questions.
Please take a moment to send the event to anyone you think may be interested in joining. Details HERE!
General Pack Info for All Scouts!
Pack 442 2024-2025 Calendar: Catch a sneak peek at our Website Calendar for the next scout year. There may be slight changes as we get into the year, but we’ll do our best to stick with this as closely as possible. PDF version for your frig is located HERE!
Den Calendars will be provided as the scouting year starts, and all of the events are/will be loaded into the Scoutbook calendars for each den. All calendar communication will officially come through Scoutbook, so make sure you are connected to your scout. We will go over this at the August Pack Meeting for anyone that is not. Below is a glimpse at what the calendars could look like. Den meeting dates will be set by your Den Leaders in the coming weeks.
Registration Info:
As we kick off the new year, we have several pieces of info that we need from all the scouts, both new and returning. You can find the link to all of the required forms HERE. This includes:
- Scout Registration Form – Update our roster/contact info for the pack
- Medical Forms – These need to be filled our every year so we have on hand during events. A Form is required for all family members that will participate in an overnight event (campout, overnight)
- Photo Media Release – Needed to post/share media of our adventures.
- Family Talent Survey – Best way to connect volunteers to where we need them most.
Check our Pack Registration Log to see your status on all of the above. Click Here.
We have a lot more information to share over the next few weeks regarding den calendars, pack meetings, fundraising, and more. I can’t begin to tell you how excited we are for this year considering all the changes happening to the scout rank and adventures. So many of our pack events will align with rank adventures providing the scouts with so many opportunities to earn awards for their uniforms.
We can’t wait to see you all at the Swim Party!
YIS,
Bryan Weatherford
