Cincinnati Zoo: March 19th Pack Event


The March Pack event will be a trip to the Cincinnati Zoo! However, in order to get our group rates and to pay for the program, we do need you to pre-register by February 25th.


In the morning, Tigers and Wolves will be touring the zoo and working on their own achievements, while the Bears and Webelos will be attending a special program designed for their requirements for rank advancement. All dens will meet at the pavilion at noon for lunch.


Details for Tigers and Wolves are still to be finalized.


Webelos and Bears will meet March 19th at 7:30am at the old Walmart building in Oxford to carpool down.


We do request that at least one adult from each family attend with your scouts, so we have plenty of adult supervision. The pack will cover the cost for scouts. If we have enough participation to get the group rate, then adults will be $9 and other kids will be $7. This is a great discount, and it looks like it will be a wonderful time for the kids. We don't do trips outside Oxford very often, so please participate in this one, if you think these trips are a good idea! Contact your den leader before February 25th, if you are able to attend.

Great Pinewood Derby!

October Campout "bags of fun!"


Our October campout at Hueston Woods was loads of fun! Dens worked on achievements during the day on Saturday, and went trick-or-treating in the RV campground Saturday night.

Nature hikes, map and compass, general outdoor adventure were the order of the day, along with group meals campfires, skits, songs, and storytelling at night. We had beautiful weather. The boys also seemed to greatly enjoy the plentiful opportunities to get REALLY dirty, so it MUST have been fun.
