Time for our annual Bridging Ceremony on May 21st to promote our cubscouts to their next rank and celebrate the past scouting year's accomplishments!

All Pack 616 Cubscouts & families should gather in the Pecan Park area across the water from the Gazebo & Bridge at 6:30pm.

Scout Fair- the largest Scout Exposition in the country! Scout Fair is like Disney Land for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Amazingly, it will be held right here in the Houston area at Reliant Stadium, on Saturday, April 24th from 11:00 a.m, to 4:00 p.m.

Pack 616's Scout Fair Committee (chaired by Bobby McGoldrick) will be holding our own Scout Fair Booth- 'Weapons of Mass Distraction'. Come out and try out Pack 616's arsenal of secret weapons in the war against Boredom.

Admission is free! See the below flyer regarding the city's largest Pinewood Derby and the appearance of the BSA 2010 Locomotive.

See you Saturday at Scout Fair!

On Saturday, April 17th, is our Pack Service project for mulching the Butterfly Gardens at Walker Station Elementary School. As you may recall, we started two weeks ago but ran out of mulch. The Cubs that were there enjoyed the project and asked for more (who doesn't like playing in thre dirt?!?), so we now have about twice as much mulch being delivered- along with pizza for a lunch and Cub play break.

The event is from 1-3 pm; bring gloves, shovels, hoes and/or racks, and a wheelbarrow if you have one. We'll meet at  the back of WSE at the Buterfly Garden.

By the way, for Cubs this project may fulfill  the larger requirement of the World Conservation Award (considered a major Scouting award).

Webelos- this qualifies the service project requirement of Outdoosrman.

All- service and fun is what we're all about!

Our Spring Campout will be held from April 9th-11th at Stephen F. Austin State Park. It is approx. a 45 min drive (near Sealy).

Campouts are the highlight of Scouting and are open to the whole family. Camping fees are covered by the pack; all you pay are the park entrance fees ($4 a day per person; children 12 and under are free).
