Pack 40 Cub Scouts in Quincy

Cub Scout Pack 40 has been around for many years. Just like any activity, it has its ups and downs. We currently have around 15 boys and are in a rebuilding stage. We have a good number of active parents and boys and are looking to do more as we grow and learn more about the program and get more training.

St Paul Lutheran Church here in Quincy is our Sponsor and we meet there.

Wolf Den Pumpkin Painting 10-27-08











With Halloween just aroudn the corner, we thought what a great way to spend a meeting but painting pumpkins....I know, it is not carving them....but do you want to try and carve 8-12 pumpkins in 1 hour.....neither did we, so here are the pix of our Wolf Den (2nd Graders) painting their 'kins.

We took our Cubs to the Corn Maze just South of town tonight. There was about 15 boys and a few little sisters running aroudn in the maze with them...along with 8-10 parents. We had a great turnout...didn't loose any of the kids...and some even found all the stuff they were looking for.

Joining Night Success!! 2008





Well, we had our Pack Party Night. We had about 25 boys and their parents show up for the fun and games we had planned. A few of our existing leaders had activities for the boys in our big meeting hall, and I took the parents into a smaller classroom and talked about the program with them. We had a good night....5 boys signed up that night...and the rest of our dens will be meeting this coming week...and we will see how that goes. Here are a few pix of our activities and the full house.

I Just wanted to post a note to anyone reading this, and interested in signing up their son for Cub Scouts this year. We are having our Fall Joining night on Oct 2, 2008 at the St Paul Lutheran Church in Quincy at 6:00 pm downstairs. There will be fun and goodies and a Grab Bag for the Boys. The cost to sign up will be $10 and that includes a book.

If you are interested please show up...with every new crop of boys we will need willing parents to help with activities and dens. Good times and fun for boys and parents. See you there.

FCAD 2008






Farmer Consumer Awareness Day has come and gone for another year. This is the first year we as a Pack have done anything in a long time. We had a snow cone booth and were selling our Birdhouses and spreading the word of Cub Scouting. Because the booth is small and we were dealing with some sticky stuff (more than 1 of us ended up wearing some juice) we just had parents helping in the booth. We had a great time. Talked to lots of people sold tons of snowcones, and are looking forward to doing it agian next year already. I will get more pix from other cameras as they come in.

BBQ in the Park





Well, as an end to Summer - - Welcome back Skool...we had a BBQ at the park tonight. Had most of the boys there. Were able to hash out some FCAD stuff (parade, snow cones, birdhouses) and get some other details hammered out for the up-coming scout year. Here are a few pics of the Kids and the BBQ Master.
