We will have a quick make-up awards ceremony at our next Pack meeting on November 2 to give out awards earned from last year.

On Sunday, October 16 we will have a bake sale fundraiser at Ace from 9am-5pm. This will be a great opportunity for us to earn money for the Pack while our Cub Scouts sell baked goods to Ace customers and the community. Please visit the SignUpGenius page to register for a time slot.

All Webelos are invited to attend Mountain Man on October 1st at Steamboat Lake! The Webelos II's are also invited to camp out overnight with the BSA Troop! See the calendar for the most up-to-date event details. Participation is highly encouraged, as the Dens will knock out a big chunk of their rank requirements. Since the Troop will be feeding us, we ask that everyone who can participate RSVP as soon as they can. Either RSVP on the calendar, or notify your Den leader.

Join Pack 194 at Stagecoach State Park on Saturday September 17th! We'll be meeting at noon at the Keystone Picnic area. Ski Town Lions Club will be hosting a picnic lunch. The park is home to over 200 species of birds, so at 2PM the Rangers will guide a birding hike along Pinnacle Peak Trail. Please bring a light day pack with your hiking essentials, and if you have them bring some binoculars!

Families are free to arrive early or stick around late to enjoy the lake! The Rangers are able to provide free fishing equipment and bait. The Marina rents out canoes, kayaks, paddle boards and more. And there's a beach area!

Den Leaders: feel free to see if any of your groups achievement requirements can be met during these activities! We'll set aside some time during Lunch to meet with your dens to work on any activities you see fit.

Please keep in mind that Stagecoach State Park does charge a $9/car entrance fee. This is waived for any Colorado State Park Pass holders ($80/year, available online or at the CO Parks & Wildlife office in front of The Ponds). Car-pooling is encourage!

We will be meeting at 6PM at Sleeping Giant on September 7th! This will be our regular meeting location for the year, so thanks to Sleeping Giant for permitting us to use the space. Our first meeting will focus on welcoming new Scouts and reuniting our returning Dens. We will help all our new scouts earn their Bobcat rank while making sure everyone is registered. We'll also have a quick parents' meeting to make sure we have leaders assigned for any new Dens.

We'll be hosting our annual Planning Meeting on August 15th at the Steamboat Airport FBO building (3499 Airport Circle). This is where we set the schedule for the year, figure out who will be taking up which leadership positions, and get our recruiting efforts kicked off. See the calendar for more details. Hope to see you there!
