Pack 70 Upcoming Events

June 6th and 7th – Chuck Wagon Derby
There is still time to join us at Camp Horizons in Sharon.  We’re looking for some Scouts who are ready for adventure!

This event is like a cross between Klondike Derby and field day.  We’ll field two teams of Scouts – our Webelo and Bear team will participate in events like fire-building, two-man sawing, bb-shooting and archery.  Our Wolves and Tigers team will do 3-legged races, water relays, and other team-building events   Both teams will help build a wagon, working with our resident handyman, Mr. Washburn.  There will be a campfire, and for those who want to stay, dinner and overnight camping.  The whole family is welcome, for the day and the camping.  The cost for all this fun is only $8.00 per person.  See Chip Washburn or Drew Hoyt for more details.

June 13th – Founders Day
We will be marching in the Founder’s Day Parade which begins at 10 a.m. on June 13th.  Please meet in the parking lot across from the Foxborough Regional Charter School at 9:30 a.m. and join us in promoting Pack 70.  We will also be running our usual fun and games booth at Field Day.  We need as many den members as possible to man the booth.

We’ve scheduled the dens as follows:

• Wolves  ~  11 – 12
• Bears  ~  12 – 1
• Webelos  I  ~  1 – 2
• Webelos  II  ~  2 – 3

Please see your den leaders to volunteer.  We will also need help setting up at 8 a.m. and breaking down at 3 p.m.  Contact Drew Hoyt if you can help out.

June 18th – Ice Cream Social
This will be our last pack meeting before taking our summer hiatus.  Come beat the heat and welcome any new members we may have recruited with an ice cream social.  What could be more fun and say summer better than making your own sundaes?  Hope to see you there.

June 20th (tentative date) – Food Drive
Help us fill the Foxborough Food Pantry, whose supplies have dwindled.  We will need you to collect whatever your friends, neighbors, and household can donate and then we will meet at the Pantry to drop off and help organize the donations. They especially need toiletries such as toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.  The pantry also takes donations of clothes and gently used toys and games.

July 11th – Annual Fishing Derby
Please join us for our annual Fishing Derby.  Always a fun time, the boys will enjoy lots of fresh air and prizes will be awarded.  This event will take place at Cocassett River Park followed by a Barbeque and swimming (fee involved to swim). More Details to follow.

July 20 – 24 – Camp Horizon
For the discounted price of $180, Scouts get a week of crafts, nature, sports, swimming, bb-shooting and archery.  This year’s theme is Pirates, and will include a special treasure hunt and a feast and campfire.  We need to have a headcount and signups completed by Thursday’s Pack Meeting.

August 22nd-23rd – PawSox Sleepover
A perennial favorite.  We get a clinic with the PawSox players, a great game against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, food and drink tickets, and a campout on the field with a movie on the Jumbo-tron.  All this for $25 per person.  We need a headcount this Thursday at the Pack Meeting.
