On August 2nd, the Pack traveled to the Kalamazoo Air Zoo to see all of the sights and learn all there was to learn about flight. They had a great time seeing all of the different airplanes!
Get ready for a new year of Scouting!
The first fall meeting for Pack 10 will be Monday, August 25th at
6:30PM in the St. Pius Gym. Cub Scouting is open to all boys in grades
1-5. It doesn’t matter what school you attend, just come and join the
fun!
We have all sorts of active fun planned for the coming year — biking,
camping, fishing, rock climbing, an airplane contest, pinewood derby
and more.
At the August meeting, boys will split up into dens to get to know
their leaders, get started on advancement, and play some fun games.
Adults are invited to stay to meet the pack leadership, learn about
the schedule of activities for the year, and complete registration
paperwork. Yearly dues of $50 can be paid by check at this meeting.
If you have a friend interested in scouting, please invite them to
come along and join the fun. If you can’t come but would like more
information, please contact the pack committee chair, Douglas Thain,
(dthain@nd.edu).

WSBT Scout Day on March 15th was a day full of exciting discoveries for local Scouts. Our Scouts were able to tour the inside of the local WSBT station, meet TV and radio anchors, and learn how the station produces and broadcasts shows . The highlight was the opportunity for the Scouts to be filmed on the “green screen”. Scouts were awarded a patch and received several other souvenirs including an autographed photo of the lead anchors of the TV station! Special thanks to Brian Archambeault for taking the Pack 10 Scouts on this fantastic journey!
On March 1st and 9th, scouts moved through the local neighborhoods Scouting for Food. Scouts collected 205 pieces of non-perishable food items and toiletries and also a monetary donation for St. Vincent de Paul.
