Pack 36 Highlights

Pack 36 is an active Cub Scout group. There are approximately 50 Cub Scouts and 12 adult volunteer leaders. Most Dens meet at St. Marks UMC.  Again this year we received Quality Unit status. Great work Cubs and Leaders.  Pack 36 is involved in many Scouting and community activities. The following briefly recaps some of the activities of the Pack. In an effort to keep Pack 36 moving forward leaders and committee members meet once a month.

• School Night: was a success with the largest group of new cubs joining.  The largest was the Tiger Cubs with 13 First Graders joining the ranks of Scouting. Each Den had new Cubs to join on school night.

• Popcorn sales: This year was the best ever for popcorn sales.  Thanks to all the Cubs for helping make this a success.  The money raised will be used for Pack and Community projects. Proceeds from the last couple of year's popcorn sales were used to purchase a Derby track.  This year we purchased a PA system as well as help with summer camp fees for the boys. Guys your hard work is paying off!!

• Christmas Parade:  An annual activity of Pack 36.  This year on Sunday afternoon before the parade a group of Cubs, parents and leaders meet to decorate the truck and trailer we used.  There were approximately 30 Cubs, parents and leaders who braved the cold to ride and march in the parade. The Christmas parade is one way we show Scouting Pride to the community. 

• Christmas Party:  This our December pack meeting.  Besides having a great time, all the den come together for our Do A Good Turn Project.  This year as in the past we came together a provided clothes, food, heaters, toys and other items needed by families in our area.  Each den participates in  an individual Do A Good Turn Project as well.

• Scout Sunday:  We had a great turn out at St. Marks this year!  There were 18 Cubs and leaders present.  This is one way we show our appreciation to our chartering organization.

• Blue and Gold Banquet:  This years Blue and Gold was one of the best ever! Thank you Jo Ann. As always the Blue and Gold is one of the highlights of the year. There were approximately 135 people in attendance.  This year as in the past the Pack supplied the meat (Chicken Tenders) and bread for the meal with the rest of meal divided among the Dens. Den 8- Paper Products ( Plates, Napkins, Hot and Cold drink Cups and utensils). Den 7 - Desserts, Den 6 - Salads and Casseroles, Den 3- Vegetables and Den 5 Drinks (Tea and Coffee).

Awards and Recognitions:  We had one Wolf and one Bear to receive their badge.  5 Webelos received their badge. There we 6 Arrow of Light recipients this year. The Webelos crossed the Bridge to Scouting with the Scoutmasters from Troop 100 participating in the ceremony. 

The Program: Several of our dens presented skits to the enjoyment of all.  This years  speaker was Neil Reinwald our Bear Den Leader.  Neil has a long history in Scouting and used it to bring us a great speech. Thanks Neil. This year we were privileged to have the Order of the Arrow Dance team to perform for us.  The team treated the Scouts and guests with traditional Native American dance. 

        The sad note this year was that our Cubmaster said this would be her last Blue and Gold. If it is she definitely saved the best for last. Thanks for all you have done for Pack 36 the past several years.  We will miss you.
