Hi Cub Scout Families, I hope you all had a good weekend.  Due to Fireworks Sales , there will be no scheduled pack activities this week. Fireworks Booth , More Help Needed: Our booth opens this Thursday and we still desperately need more parents to sign up to help us run it .  This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and it  elps us fund so much, it buys / maintains all our Pack equipment and camping gear as well as all the awards, badges, supplies and food for so many events, etc. It is the reason we can provide such a quality program for all our Scouts and families and keep your costs down. Your participation is crucial to the success of this fundraiser. It takes a village to make our Pack great and you are that village. Please don't think someone else will do it. That someone else may need to be YOU! We really do have a lot more slots that need to be filled, especially for those shifts that do not have any one signed up yet.  I will be there to fill in if...

Hello Pack 102 Families, You are invited to go family style tent camping with our Pack. For our second campout of the summer, we have reserved campsites for the weekend of July 13th-16th in the Upper Loop of the Van Damme State Park. Three miles south of Mendocino on Highway 1, Van Damme State Park offers a scenic beach, a lush fern-filled forest, and year-round camping. The highway runs through the park, separating the campground and the Fern Canyon trail head to the east from the beach and parking lot to the west. Visitors can fish for abalone or launch a kayak in a protected cove. They can explore a pygmy forest. They can hike, jog, or bicycle the splendid Fern Canyon Scenic Trail beside Little River. Of all the park system's units along the Mendocino coast, Van Damme is perhaps the richest in terms of historical resources connected with the redwood lumber industry.  Van Damme is a great place for hiking, biking, birding, jogging, kayaking, botani...

Hello Cub Scout Families, I hope everyone had a great weekend enjoying the sunny weather and are looking forward to school getting out.
