New Friends, Fun, Adventure

Cub Pack 248 is hosting a joining night on September 13, 2007 at 6:30 pm at St. Charles Borromeo's Parish Center. To join, please bring your parents so you can get more information about Cub Pack 248.

Camping was grrrrreeeeeeeeeaaaaattttttt!!!

Thank you Kurt for organizing the camp out for us and cooking some wonderful meals. Sitting around the campfire at night was fun too, for those of you who missed it Kurt played his guitar as we watched shooting stars and told ghost stories. The weather was great and at last count we had no cases of poison ivy so I count that as a big success in itself. If you missed it this year I hope you will be able to attend next year.

Yours in Scouting,
Wayne
