Community Service: Tamarack Park Clean-up on Sat., June 8

Our Pack will be offering our services to the Town of Lakeville next Saturday, June 8th, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. We are hoping that ALL scouts and their families will participate in this project, even if for only 1 hour.

What will we be doing, you ask?  There is an effort underway to clean up, clear out, and re-establish Tamarack Park.  The ultimate goal is to mold it into a Nature Park for Lakeville residents to enjoy.  There is a lot of work to do, and lots of plans.  Our goal on Saturday is to move some compost into the area where the flower beds will be located. There is also an area of overgrown weeds that they would like pulled, time permitting.  Won’t it be GREAT to be part of re-creating this beautiful park for all of our friends and family to relax in?!

Check out this Face Book Website for more detailed info on the park.

Blue & Gold Banquet – Take two!

Please join us for Pack 14’s rescheduled Blue & Gold Banquet on Sunday, April 7 at Sts. Martha & Mary Parish. Doors open and cake sign-in starts at 1:15 pm with opening ceremonies starting promptly at 1:30. Highlights include…

  • A pasta luncheon will be served for Scouts and their families to enjoy together. Please RSVP online or through your den leader. We will also have sign up sheets at the Pinewood Derby.
  • The annual cake decorating contest! On their own time, Scouts will bake and decorate a cake to be judged during the Blue & Gold. (Cakes are judged on appearance only; Scouts can bring their cakes home to enjoy with their families after the event.) Prizes will be awarded in each den for the most original designs that depict this year’s theme: Giving. (Let your Scout get creative with the theme and think about what “Giving” means to them; for example, their own special gifts, what they give to others, what Scouting gives to them, how Scouts give back to the community, etc.) Download Cake Contest Rules.
  • Team-building activities, as well as completion and presentation of Birthday Wishes donations, which were made possible by our generous families!
  • Presentations by each den on their community service projects.

Class A uniforms please. Webelos I are asked to arrive at 12:30pm help with set up and greeting families as they arrive.  Bears are scheduled for clean up duty at  3:30 until finished. (With enough helpers, it usually goes quickly!)

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact event chairs Nancy Keller and Karen Quinn. Thanks for all you do for making Scouting such a positive experience for our boys.
