Fall Activities
-
New Calendar - see the new Fall calendar!
-
Pack 750 has been asked to vacate the scout hut located adjacent to the Church Building at Stallsville UMC. Brian Westley (a parent from Den 10) has volunteered to allow our pack to use his loft storage space at this place of business on Dorchester Road near Ashley Phosphate (yeah Brian!). We will meet at the Scout Hut at 1PM Saturday, October 11th to move out.
-
We will need several pick-up trucks (or a large trailer) as well as several men to handle the heavy pinewood derby track. Many hands make light work. Many trucks make less trips.

To all Den Leaders from the Pack Trainer:
New Wolf, Bear, & Webelos Handbooks
NOW IN STORES!
-
In a continuing effort to help leaders deliver a quality Cub Scout program, and to ensure that program materials remain current and age-appropriate, the Boy Scouts of America have enhanced the content of the current Wolf, Bear, and Webelos handbooks. These books have been updated for relevance to todayıs youth, appropriateness of content, ease of use, and perceived challenge to the reader.
-
The new handbooks have maintained many of the current elements that have been proven successful in the past. The books have eliminated topics that have become dated and do not challenge todayıs Cub Scouts and their families. Some specific revisions are as follows:
-
Integrated Charter Connections (that draw on Cub Scoutingıs 12 Core Values) directly into selected requirements in each book.
Infused age-appropriate outdoor program activities into both the requirements and the electives in each book.
-
Enhanced the advancement and elective trails to create a progressively more challenging pathway that logically prepares boys for the next rank in Cub Scouting and prepares Webelos Scouts for Boy Scouting.
-
Reformatted and enhanced the Webelos handbook; particularly, the Webelos badge and Arrow of Light Award requirements.
-
In an effort to assist the leaders with the transition from the current handbooks to the new handbooks, the following implementation plan has been created:
-
The enhanced Wolf, Bear, and Webelos handbooks will be released by late August 2003.
-
The enhancements to the requirements in these books will not affect the advancement trails of boys who are using the current books. They are to continue using their current books until they have completed all requirements in those books.
-
Based on availability, Cub Scout youth members may use either the current handbook or the new handbook. As boys enter the program or advance in rank by the dates indicated below, they are required to use the new books.
Boys who become Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts after August 1, 2004 will be required to use the new book for the corresponding rank.
Boys who become Webelos Scouts after August 1, 2005, will be required to use the new Webelos Scout Handbook.
