Pancake Day !



As you know Oxford Kiwanis is Pack 961's biggest sponsor. We understand that this is Little League opening day and that many scouts also have soccer or other commitments at this busy time of year. Any help our scouts can provide is welcome; even if its just a half an hour. Wear your uniform if you can and sign in at the volunteer table. What a great way to give back to the group that gives so much to us!

District Pinewood Derby



It starts with a block of wood, a boy, and his dad. For 150 scouts from all across the Fort Hamilton Scout District it ended at Talawanda Middle School on April 5. At this years derby, an annual scouting tradition for more than 50 years, we had a record four tracks, one for each rank. Virtual speeds reached over 220 miles per hour! Cars were also awarded for best design. This year's cars included authentic NASCARs, hot rods, and even a red dragon! Scouts could view a display of pinewood cars from the last century and see monster trucks, formula one racers, and Police SWAT vehicles on display. We would like to thank our many sponsors and volunteers including: Oxford Kiwanis, Talawanda City Schools, Miami University, and Oxford Kroger. You went THE DISTANCE!
