We had a great time with this year's Pinewood Derby! We started with a Friday night camp-in and car check-in. Followed by the official race on Saturday morning. There were so many creative cars this year and the scouts had lots of fun participating in the races.

This Past weekend we had our Annual Family Camp in! 

We had walking Tacos, Campfire with S'mores, skits and songs. The Scouts and families all had a blast.

This past Sunday 02/02 Scouts celebrated with our Sponsor Nichols Bethel Methodist Church Scout Sunday. This is an event where Scouts of all ages come to the church that sponsors our Pack to reflect and be reverant. Scouts participted by welcoming parishoners and helped to hand out the daily prayer leaflets, at the start of the service they brought the Pack and Troop Flags up to the front to be displayed. We then presented the Church with our Charter for the year, It was a beautiful reflective time that really helped not only the Scouts, but the parishoners come together in thanks for the contribution of both to the other.

This past weekend (02/01) we had our annual Pinewood Derby. Scouts had voted on and decided on 3 themes to build on. Patriotic, Desserts, and Video Games. We had so many different takes on the theme. Siblings and Parents got into the races as well in their own categories. Scouts proudly raced their cars, shouting and cheering the whole time. Finally winners were determined in 3 categories. Grand Champion (fastest in the Pack), Scouts choice for theme/design and Parents Choice for theme/design. 

We had a great pack meeting this month. We participated in a cookie exchange. There were cookies as far as the eyes could see. We sang and played on kazoos a Scout themed Christmas song, and had lots of fun while at it. We voted on the theme of our Pinewood Derby and are proud to announce the Scouts were so enthusiastic about each one we decided to have 3 options. So this year be on the lookout for cars in Patriotic / Desserts or Video Game theme. We can't wait to see everyones creativity. Looking forward to a gert 2020!

We had our very first Bike Rodeo. The scouts were invited to bring out their bikes or scooters. They learned all about bike/scooter safety, Helmet fit and how to wear, hand signals, rules of the road And all while having fun with races, agility courses and general riding fun. It was a hot day so we also made sure to talk about staying hydrated while riding.
