Webelos Visit the Troop

Christmas Parade

401 Thanksgiving Feast

Pack 401 and Troop 401 meet together once a year for a Thanksgiving Feast at Isley Farm (dubbed Camp Isley). The Isleys are our Charter Reps.

The Armanis came early and started cooking a "Trashcan Turkey."


Essentially the trashcan creates works like a convention oven.









When Calvin and the other scouts came in from their nature hike, Calvin went and sat with his sister.



We have some very talented and creative parents.



We ended the evening with a campfire and flag retirement.

Webelos Boy Scout Camping Trip

Once a year Troop 401 hosts a camping trip for the Webelos IIs of Pack 401. This meets a requirement for the Arrow of Light and prepares them for bridging over into Boy Scouts.







Jeremiah got to tag along. It was a very special treat for him.





Calvin helped teach the younger boys how the Boy Scouts earn their Firem'n Chit and Totem Chip cards. These cards give a scout the right to carry a knife and make fire.





Joshua and Calvin will share many special scout experiences as Joshua bridges over.

Council Camporee - Back to our Heritage 1910

Our pack's display. We had to choose a state to research and display information from 1910. We chose Hawaii. Hawaii had a Boy Scout Troop in 1910. They were Troop 1 and are still active today. The first group of boys called themselves the "Rainbow Patrol". You can read more about them here.

Here you can see the tags (or "Passports"). The council included the siblings at this camporee and had plenty to go around. The children presented them at each activity station to get a sticker.








There were so many activities to do. Here we are touring the inside of an Ambulance.

Campfire songs, skits, and s'mores!
