How to find Pack 564 at Sunday’s Scout Day at the Braves

braves smFrom Sports Coordinator George Hoffmaster:

This Sunday, Sept. 21, is NEGA Council Scout Day at the Braves.

If you have purchased tickets to this event from the Scout Store and plan to attend the game, it is scheduled to start at 1:35p. But, as many of you know, our scouts will have the opportunity to parade around the perimeter of the field before the game.

The Hank Aaron ramp at Turner Field is where all scouts are gathering to line up for the parade and I will be there no later than 11:30a.

When you arrive, please head up the Hank Aaron ramp and look for the Pack 564 sign that I will have so that our Pack can parade together.

If you have any difficulty locating our group, you are welcome to reach me by phone (please see the Facebook group or email for the number).

Webelos Woods is coming up

Webelos logoThe Northeast Georgia District is once again offering Webelos Woods camping at Scoutland.

Having been in the past, it’s a great way to help your Webelos scouts earn activity badges and meet their requirements. It’s also just a lot of fun.

There are already Webelos from Pack 564 going, so if you are planning to attend, let me know so we can get the group together.

Pack meeting tonight! Bring your popcorn money and forms

CubScout_4KThe first pack meeting of the year is tonight at 7 p.m. at the Mountain Park United Methodist Church Family Life Center (the room on the lower level of the church).

For those of you who are new to scouting, Pack Meetings are where the whole pack family gets together to have some fun, recognize achievements and share information.

You’ll want you sit in the area set aside for your son’s rank. Boys should sit by dens, with parents scattered throughout to help maintain order.

Please remember to bring money from your popcorn sales, as well as your filled-out order forms! The information on your form will be tallied, matched against the funds you bring in and recorded, and the form will be returned for you to continue filling up.

All scouts who have sold at least one item will receive a Matchbox toy car at check-in.

And don’t forget to enter your guess how much money we raised in military donations this weekend for a chance to win a prize!

New scouts and leaders will be able to pick up their pack t-shirts at tonight’s meeting. We’ll also discuss the popcorn program, upcoming events and have a little fun, too.

See you there!

Fall family camping registration begins

Courtesy of Flickr user RichtptRegistration has opened for fall family camping, Oct. 24-26 at beautiful Stone Mountain Park.

This is one of the highlights of the year, so you won’t want to miss it.

In addition to all the regular camping fun, we are planning to offer some belt loop clinics and a pack campfire, as well as the traditional Saturday night pack meal. All scouts, siblings and parents are welcome to attend. The cost is $8 per person per night, plus $2 for Saturday evening dinner.

An online registration and payment system is coming (hopefully!), but for now, you’ll need to register and pay in person before or after the pack meeting tonight or the Oct. 14 pack meeting (the registration deadline is Oct. 15). Please look for the registration booth in the back of the pack meeting room.

Please bring a check made out to BSA Pack 564 for payment of fees.

If you have questions about registration, please use the contact form and choose “camping” in the “I need information about” field.

Please let your den leader know if you are new to camping and need information, advice or assistance with gear.
