We

Tiger Program

 

The Tiger Cubs are working hard toward their Tiger achievements! They are learning about their community, their families, and their Tiger friends. Some of their activities have included leaf rubbings, map skills, and sewing on buttons.

 

Wolf Program

 

All of the Wolves have completed their Bobcat requirements. Way to go! The Wolves are working hard to complete their achievements and arrow points toward advancement to Bears.

 

Bear Program

 

The Bears are busy completing their requirements to move to 4th Grade Webelos next year. The Bears are looking forward to a visit by a local policeman, who will talk to them about his profession and give advice for safe fun. They have also learned knife safety and earned their whittling cards.

4th Grade Webelos

 

The 4th Grade Webelos must complete the Webelos rank to advance to 5th Grade Webelos next year. They are learning the mottos and have demonstrated their skills at Pack meeting openings.

5th Grade Webelos

 

The 5th Grade Webelos arranged an evening of planetary fun at Perkins Observatory in Delaware. Scouts and their families enjoyed a starry evening at the Observatory. We saw Mars, Venus (including the rings!), and other stars. We hope this becomes an annual event!

Fall Activities

 

Pack 90 started the new scout year with a bang! They have been busy with several great activities.

Corn Maze Fun. Maize Quest at Milford Center was a success again this year. A rainy week gave way to a sunny afternoon for the outing. After the maze fun, the district held its Bobcat ceremony with a bonfire and hot dog roast. Over 200 area scouts and families attended the event.

Popcorn, Popcorn, Popcorn! The Cub Scout popcorn sale got underway on October 1st. The boys sold popcorn to help earn funds for the troop and great prizes for themselves. Thanks to all who participated.

Harvest Festival. The annual Pack 90 Harvest Festival was a huge success. The Unionville Center Pack joined us for an evening of fun. About 15 families camped overnight. Thank you to all who helped make the festival a success—and thanks to all who attended!

Pack 90 Skating Party: November 8, 2003. The boys showed off their skating moves at the Marysville Skating Palace. Moms and Dads dusted off their skates and had fun too.

Pack 90 Bowling and Pizza Party: December 6, 2003. After the popcorn pickup, the boys and their families enjoyed an afternoon of pizza and bowling at Plain City Lanes.

Scholarship Fund

 

Pack 90 has established a Scholarship Fund to help defray the cost of activities or Pack membership for any child in need. If you or someone you know needs assistance, please contact Dave Weber.
