Earn the Cub Scout National Summertime Award Pin!

Scouts who attend three or more Pack/Den events during the Scouting Summer (Anything after the last Ice Cream social Pack meeting up to the September Pack meeting) are eligible to earn the National Summertime award pin!  We are hoping to have 100% of the Pack 138 Scouts earn this award during this summer!

Interested in Cub Scouts or know someone who is?  If so, Pack 138 will host two informational meetings to learn more about Cub Scouts and our Pack.  The meeting dates are Tuesday, April 10th or Tuesday, May 8th at 6pm in the Western Ave School gym.  You can choose the meeting that works for your schedule and you are invited to stay for the pack meeting that follows at 7pm.  Cub Scouts is open to boys that will be entering 1st through 5th grades for the 2012-2013 school year.  If you have any questions, please contact Cindy Wagner, Pack 138 Membership Chair, at membership@westernavenuescouts.org.

65 scouts and parents spent the night on the USS Cobia at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowok, Wisconsin last weekend.  Everyone had and great time and has a better respect for what the naval personnel had to endure living and working on the ship.  This ship is almost 70 years old and it was incredible to see how they lived and worked.  They had to endure intense heat, loud engines, smoky air, and tight quarters. Only one man died while serving on the USS Cobia which is amazing considering almost half of the men who left on these boats never returned.  We should all salute our Navy and especially those who have served as well as those currently serving on submarines where they don't see the light of day for months on end.

Our adult volunteers are the lifeblood of our Pack.  All of our Committee Members and Den Leaders volunteer their time and resources to ensure that our boys have fun and gain skills and experiences during their time in Cub Scouts.   The Acorn Award nominations are an opportunity to recognize and show appreciation for their efforts.

Congratulations to this year's winners!  This year we saw some of the most creative and fastest cars.  Check out all of this year's results by clicking the Pinewood Derby link on the website menu after you have logged in.
