Firefighters at Our March Pack Meeting


This month we have studied about careers. For our gathering activity we worked with our families to see which family could come up with the longest list of careers. The Hager family won!
For our pack meeting we invited the fire department to visit us and speak about career opportunities and fire safety to our families. We learned a lot. I think everyone's favorite part was going outside to explore the truck. They even turned on the sirens and lights for us!
After they left, we awarded two of our boys with their Webelos Colors and Citizenship Pins. We hid the awards in Easter Eggs. We also welcomed Alex into Webelos! We ended the night with yummy treats, of course!

Sheriff Visit



The boys enjoyed a visit from a local sheriff and volunteer. The sheriff discussed careers in law enforcement with us. He also shared some great stories with the boys. He was very engaging. They enjoyed his visit a lot! After the presentation, we went outside in the rain to see the Sheriff's vehicles. They even showed us how the lights and sirens worked.

Blue and Gold Banquet-American Heroes

We celebrated our Cub Scouts achievements at our annual Blue and Gold Banquet this week. Our theme was American Heroes. The boys put a lot of time into helping with decorations and entertainment for the big event. I was very proud of their efforts.




For our gathering activity, we had each guest make a thank you card for a soldier serving in Iraq. We also collected items to send him in a care package.

We decorated the tables with flags and pictures of American Heroes.


The entire pack participated in the opening flag ceremony.

We ate "Hero" subs and apple pie. One of our Webelos made "Hero" flags for all of our sandwiches.

Captain Garrett Jackson spoke to us about being a Hero and the heroes he met while serving overseas.

Each den presented a skit that they had prepared about American Heroes.

Then we had our awards ceremony. Each boy was honored as we shared a story about a time he was a hero, himself. Thank you to the parents for helping us collect these stories.


Two of our boys received their Bobcats, one received his Bear, one his Webelo, 2 received their religious knots, and several other boys earned beads, belt loops, and arrow points.

We closed the evening with two of our Webelos singing "God Bless America."
