Picnic Fun

The Pack 681 Summer Picnic was great fun. Thanks to all who helped pull it off. If anyone has a good picture of the 'bean the Cubmaster with a water balloon" contest, please forward to me and I'll post it.

The next event will be on August 18. We had originally planned a bike rodeo, but we are lacking an organizer. If you can help organized an event on August 18, please let me know.

The New Parktakes is Here!

Den & Patrol Leaders,

Yesterday, I received the new Parktakes magazine in the mail. Parktakes is the catalog for classes/events at Fairfax County parks and recreation centers. In it, there are some great scouting programs. Please take a moment to check it out (you can find a copy at most libraries and I believe it is on-line).

Here are some events that I can recommend:

For 2nd Year Webelos and 1st Year Boy Scouts: Orienteering at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park.

Weblos – Forester, Naturalist and Geology badge activities; Wildlife Conservation belt loop. For those scouts unable to attend Goshen, aquanaut badge is offered, too.

There are also activities for Wolves and Bears.

If you have interest, I advise registering soon, as activities fill up pretty quickly. There is a small fee that must be paid up-front, so I usually get a commitment from families first.
