The webelos 1 den has been working hard on their fitness and activity badges this month. As a challenge the den leader said that anyone who could do more pushups in 30 seconds than him they could throw a pie in his face. Last night Tristan beat him and in true scout fashion the den leader kept his word.

That was a great turnout!!! Thank you to everyone that could attend. We were the biggest group there with 39 people. The church and their committee said they were impressed. Everyone should pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. It’s not always a fun job, but it has to be done and it was for a good cause.
Scouts is about having fun, but it is also about helping in the community.
Sorry some of you could not stick around to make it into the photo.
Thank you boys and parents for attending last nights join night. We had an outstanding turnout. If you are new to the pack and have any questions please feel free to contact the cubmaster or committee chairman. For the tigers I know you guys are roaring to get going. As soon as we get a tiger leader up to speed we will get you going. This should be about a week.
Lastly I want to thank the parents for the number of parents that said they wanted to volunteer. I had more parents want to help out than we currently have positions. That is extremely rare and shows we will continue to have a strong pack. If you would like to help out but not carry a leadership role please let Phil Walz or Aaron Hoy know. Thanks again. This is going to be a great year for pack 803
There were some fast boats and some great looking ones too that were made. Great job to everyone. We hope all the scouts and friends and family enjoyed our first annual raingutter regatta. Nearly the entire pack participated including a large number of family members which was great to see. We are planning on making this an annual event so if you have suggestions please tell a committee member or the cubmaster. We are trying to collect some pictures so we can post them to the site.
