Hold dates for April 23 & 24th as well as May 21 & 22 for Campout and daytime events at Camp40 Acres. That’s right, we’ll be camping. Sign up via Form will be required for all those Camping. We will also require all Attendees to Sign In, Provide Name/Phone for contact tracing and to fill out COVID precaution form.
Pinewood Derby will be May 22nd at Camp40 Acres – live under the Pavilion. We will post schedule for racing following planning. Reminder: This year each Den will decide if they want to race Pinewood cars or Lego Derby cars. One direction will be required. Den Leaders will coordinate the vote with each Den.
As a reminder- EVERYONE in Pack 735 is a parent volunteer. Nothing happens without your participation.
I want to THANK all of you for offering to help, to lend a hand, to be involved like parents who care about their community and kids. We do our best together. When we work together we create seriously fun, rich learning experiences and friendship. Thank you. Keep offering me to help out -your kids benefit when everyone participates and it makes my life as a parent (just like you) just a little easier.
