The fall campout is sold out.  We have a couple families that have not paid and a waiting list has been started.  We currently have a little over 50 families going to the campout.  During the upcoming days I will be grouping the dens together for camp assignments.  I know that I was not going to do it this year but, because of our numbers I will have to group the families to make 8 people per site.

A complete schedule will is online on the packs calendar page.  The day of the camp out Lalen will be going to the park early and getting the sites.  As soon as I have site numbers you will be able to come back to the website to get your campsite numbers.  We will have them at the headquarters site as well.

Don't forget to do your Rain Gutter Regatta boats in a pirate theme for the contest and there is a pumpkin decorating contest and dens have to supply there own pumpkins for the contest... one pumpkin per den is allowed in the contest.

All of the information about the camp out can be found at ... http://mypack1550.org/apps/calendar/view.php/243/Fall_Campout

WOW! Our Water Day festivities just keep getting better. This year the “Big Kahuna” water slide will be joined by the 40 foot “Jungle Slide” slip and slide AND our first ever Pinewood Demolition Derby!

What to bring

• Easy Ups and lawn chairs
• Bathing suits, towels and sunscreen
• Water bottles, drinks, snacks
• Food for lunch – please coordinate with your den regarding lunch
• Pinewood demolition car – see attached regarding rules / guidelines
• A willingness to pitch in! Please remember the clubhouse, water slides, and derby track are all either rented or borrowed. It’s up to everyone to make sure the scouts are having a great time while being respectful of other’s property. Be available to lend a hand at the end of the day.

Our last two Water Day events have been lots of fun. I can’t wait to see the designs of the Demolition cars!

I’ll see you there!

Get ready of the packs first, yes I said first demolition derby.  It is going to be fun for everyone.  Here are some guidelines to help with the race on July 25th during the waterday events.

Each scout is responsible for providing his own car, whether it is a used pinewood derby car or a brand new kit.  Kits are available at the Scout Shop.  

Here are the rules for building your cars:  

1. The car should not be wider than the normal pinewood derby car width (wheels + body)
2. No knife blades or razor blades on the vehicles.
3. There are no other rules:  There is no weight limit.  You can have moving parts.  You can have more than 4 wheels.  You can have nail axles provided in the official kit or solid axles as sold at the hobby shops.  You can have spikes (nails or screws).  The limit is your imagination. 

It's going to be a blast....

 **The scouts should be working on their demolition derby cars now.
