Hello All,
Some good news updates! Early weather forecasts seem favorable for our Sunday May 5th is our Bike Rodeo starting at the Wayne Arts Center parking lot 2PM. The Pack conservation project on April 21st was very successful with a truckload of trash pulled from Skunk Hollow (including car doors, batteries, and bottles that did not belong in the park) and the repainting of a park sign. The pack is also to be awarded the scouting Gold Achievement award for 2012, placing it in the top tier of scout packs in the US. Pinewood winners Jackson Harrington, Evan Hornbaker and Matthew Checchia were asked to represent the Pack at the District Pinewood Championship on Saturday April 27th….. Jackson took FIRST PLACE … great job! There is also a new local PACK overnight option for June 14-16 ; the day Bait and Bulls eye event was already available at Camp Hart and now Pack 371 Radnor has offered us the opportunity to join them for an overnight at the Castle at adjacent Camp Garrison. See details below.
