What could be better than a day launching model rockets? Launching them with a bunch of friends! Our Third Pack 3843 Rocket Launch will take place on September 6th, starting at Noon. Mission Control will again be located at the Gibbsville Baseball Diamond. This will be an open event, so bring your friends! Although you DO need a parent present to participate, you do not have to be in Scouts. Just bring a parent and a rocket! Like last year, all you will need to bring is your rocket, a couple of engines and some recovery wadding.

Its coming up fast! Preparations for the 2008 popcorn fundraiser are in full swing, and soon we will be out selling popcorn. Committee Chairperson Jane (who is also our "Popcorn Cornel") is looking for a helper for this year, and possibly someone to take it over next year. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who really wants to help the pack, but not necessarily become a full time leader. Interested? Check out the Popcorn page for more information.

September is coming fast, and with September comes the new season of Scouts! Round-up is on September 15th at open house for the Elementary School. Our first Pack Meeting of the season is on September 25th at Veteran's Park in Oostburg, and of course we have the Rocket Launch on September 6th. Check your den pages on the left to see the schedule for your den and when your den meetings start. Lets have a great season!!

I always thought the name "Leader Stuff" is kind of misleading, because the page had a lot of great stuff on it for parents and adult partners too. So I changed it! Akela is the name the Cub Scouts use to refer to parents and adult partners, so the "Leader Stuff" page is now the "Akela's Stuff" page! Patch placement guides, medical forms, Pack policys, its all there! Check it out.

On August 23rd we took a trip to the New Zoo in Green Bay, what a blast! We got to make some toys for the Lynx and the Lions, and then we got a "behind the scenes" tour of the Zoo and animal hospital area. Sunday morning we got to watch the Lions attack the "Zebra" we made on their Webcam!

Summer camp was a BLAST!!!! I had fun, and I hope all of the scouts did too. The Train Station Rocked, and we had a lot of cabin mates from other packs to make friends with. Special thanks to the leaders and parents who came along, with out you guys we couldn't do it. Scouts, this year was the best behaved group of scouts I have ever taken to camp. You guys were model scouts, and it was a pleasure having you guys at camp. THANK YOU!!!

Pack 3843's first Webelos Camp at Camp Brokenbridge was a success! A few weather issuse presisted all weekend, but overall everything went well, and everyone had fun! We worked on our Webelos Pins, ate good food, had fun around the campfire, and evern built a PVC Catapult! Special thanks to all the parents and leaders that helped make camp a success, and to the leaders who braved the weather and the mosquitoes with us at camp.
