Pinewood Derby

Impounding our cars the night before.


Gluing on more weights.


Back to the scale again to get it just right.


Well alrighty then.








The judges deferring.


 Adding graphite.


 Presenting the flag.


FInally after all that preperation it's time to race! These were the hot seats for the scouts up next to race.

Christmas Parade

We were a little less organized than usual. We had several last minute changes to make due to the rain. We pulled it off though and had a great time!

Some of our scouts marched behind Mayor Moss and threw toys from the trunk of his vehicle.




The rest of the pack followed further down the line.


We combined our food drive with the parade. People brought cans and put them in our wagons.

Popcorn!

Popcorn sales are over. I think I'll do our own sales a bit differently next year. We did much better than we expected.





The boys sold enough for a level 4 prize. They decided to let Jeremiah claim it. He tagged along after them for so much while they earned their Webelos Activity Badges. It was a very generous offer. I'm proud of them.

Fall Family Festival

We parked and then rode out to Isley Farm on a hay ride.


But then we got stuck in the mud.


'S'all Good. The dads saved the day and we were off again!


Group Shot:


Lining up for a hike:


We feasted when we got back:


There was still plenty of time for fishing.


Then we had the hay ride back to our cars.




Happy Thanksgiving from Pack 401!!!

Fall Family Festival

I usually take the "Pie Eating Contest". However, these pies are no pies at all. I hide a gummy worm under a mountain of whipped cream. The first to eat all the whipped cream, including chewing up the worm, wins!


This is my favorite game.


There were a lot of other games too. We had a Cupcake Walk.


You can't see the ball suspended by a rope, but the purpose of this game is to swing the pendulum and knock down the cans stacked on the bench.


Turkey Shoot:


Plink-o!


Jeremiah scored a dark chocolate candy, Mama's favorite!

Independence Day

Our pack lead the Pledge of Allegiance at the 4th of July celebration in Butner. It was for Creedmoor and Butner people. Only it wasn't on the 4th. It was on the 3rd.

We met with Mayor Moss before presenting the flag.


A scout is supposed to salute during the pledge.


I really liked the sparklers. A friend brought some and shared.
