We were out the first week of October, but the rest of the month is packed with activity, so let’s take a look at what’s coming up next, including our Fall Camporee & Trunk or Treat!

For our 70th year, Pack 729 is pulling out all the stops, and we have a calendar full of outdoor activities we can’t wait to share with you. You can find our calendar for the school year at hayespack729.org/calendar, including Fall Camp at D-bar-A Scout Ranch! Our first Pack Meeting of the year is set for September 15th at 6:30pm, which will also be our Join Scouting Night so encourage your Scout to bring their friends. Our Mum Fundraiser has been going great but there is still time to get your orders in so let’s make this the biggest Mum Fundraiser ever!

It’s been a great year of Scouting for Pack 729, and we’re ending the school year strong with plenty of activity. And even though crossover is this month, there is plenty more to come.

Happy Easter everyone. We hope everyone had a fantastic Spring break and are ready to get back to school and back to Scouting. From Easter to Earth Day we’ve got a lot of fun planned this month and more on the way as things warm up!

We had a lot going on this month but oddly enough it was weighted very heavily to the beginning of the month, so rather than spending a lot of time talking about the past as if it were the future, lets make this one a twofer.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Of course everyone is back to school and back to work and we all have to remember what it’s like to live in a civilization again. But we’ve got a lot of fun activities this month to kick off the year right.

November was a much more exciting month of Scouting than I think anyone bargained for. From our amazing service project, to hands on first aid training, to our first adventures with our new pocket knife training kit, to our successful thanksgiving dinner, this was a month of Scouting we won’t soon forget.

With our Fall Camporee behind us and the holidays ahead of us we look forward to a great month of Cub Scouting and a strong kickoff to the holiday season with service projects like Scouting for Food, special events like Team USA Scout Night and our Thanksgiving Dinner where the Scouts serve the adults!

Pack 729 is back into full swing and have a lot going on this month so be sure to look at this newsletter closely to find out information on our Fall Camporee, our Trunk or Treat, our new pack clothing orders, and new ways of communicating.

Back to school means back to scouting! Our calendar has been planned for the year which you can find at hayespack729.org/calendar, including Fall Camp at D-bar-A Scout Ranch! Our first Pack Meeting of the year is set for September 9th at 6:30pm, which will also be our Join Scouting Night so encourage your Scout to bring their friends. Our Mum Fundraiser has been going great but there is still time to get your orders in so lets make this the biggest Mum Fundraiser ever!

Welcome to the triumphant return of the Pack 729 Newsletter. In the days before the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Pack’s monthly newsletter was your place to find the latest updates on the Pack’s activities. Unfortunately, that fell by the wayside and was replaced by reminder e-mails that often only talked about what was needed immediately, and if you needed to go back and find something you’d have to dig through all of them to find the right one. So, we’re bringing back the newsletter as a way of making sure that everything is easy to find and all in one place.
