Sign up deadline approaching! Our Super Trip to the Kaleideum in Winston-Salem is coming up on March 22, 2025. This exciting overnight adventure is $48 per scout and $20 per adult. You can use Scoutbook money to cover the cost! Payments Due by February 25, 2025.

While we're there, scouts will work on adventure achievements specific to their ranks, with time to explore the museum after hours. Here’s what each rank will focus on:

Lion/Tiger: Sky is the Limit
Wolf: Digging into the Past
Bear: Super Science
Webelos/AOL: Earth Rocks

*** Though our AOLs will have already "crossed over" to the troop by then, you're still warmly encouraged to join us for this final Cub Scout event! It’s a great chance to reconnect with friends and celebrate your Scouting journey together.

SIGN UP HERE!!!

Pinewood Derby Workshop – February 1, 2025

The Pinewood Derby race is coming up on Saturday, February 22. Each scout gets a derby car kit and additional kits can be purchased for family members for $5 each. If you have not yet grabbed your pinewood derby car kit, there will be an opportunity to pick up kits at the next several week's meetings.

We will have a workshop after Scouting for Food on Saturday, February 1st – immediately after the collection of donated food. Bring your car kit and volunteers (and tools) will be on hand to help with your design. More details to follow in coming weeks.

Interested in helping with Pinewood Derby?
We will also need volunteers on race day (the morning of 2/22) as well as helpers on Friday evening 2/21 to help set up the track. Both opportunities are an easy way to help out the pack and it's very much appreciated. Sign Up Genius link below. Note that the Outlaw race will occur on Friday night set up (adults only – no scouts please). Chad Lloyd is the Pinewood Derby Coordinator for the Pack ([email protected])

Scouting for Food – January 25, 2025 and February 1, 2025

Mark your calendars! Scouting for food this weekend!

Scouting for Food is our annual food-collection drive that helps us support those in need in our communities, while helping our Scouts practice, live out, and experience the "help other people at all times" ideals of the Scout Oath and Law.

We look for 100% participation from the pack for this Scouting service project, so please join us if you are able.

On Saturday, January 25, we will meet up at 9:00 am in the MUMC parking lot in front of the Eagle's Nest. Families will collect neighborhood maps and door hangers to deliver in predetermined neighborhoods.

Donuts, coffee and milk/juice will be provided.

When you arrive, our Scouting for Food Chairperson – Heath Bixel will provide you with your route map and door hangers for you to distribute that morning to all of the houses on your route. There is no need to knock or say anything, just hang the flyer and go. (You do not need to return to the MUMC after you distribute the door hangers!).

The following weekend, February 1, AFTER 9:00 am, you will return to your same neighborhood to collect the food before driving back to the MUMC parking lot where the food will be unloaded and collected.

On average, the time requested for each day (1/25 and 2/1) is around 30 minutes to 1 hour.

A Scout is Reverent – Scout Sunday – January 26th
We are excited to invite all scouts to join us for a special Scout Sunday celebration at Matthews United Methodist Church on January 26th. This annual event is an opportunity for us to come together as a scouting community and express our gratitude to the church for their support.

Scout Sunday holds great significance as it allows us to demonstrate our commitment to the values and principles of scouting. We will have a dedicated Scout Sunday service where scouts will have the opportunity to participate in the worship service and be recognized for their achievements.

Please make sure to wear your full Class A scout uniform (sans hats) to the service to show your pride and represent our scouting community. It is also a great chance to connect with fellow scouts, leaders, and families from our pack/troop.

The service starts at 11 AM, and we kindly request that you arrive at 10:30 to line up with other members of the Pack and Troop 39.

Webelos Adventure Camp 2025 – July 24th through July 27th
Save the date for this year's WAC. Get ready for an unforgettable outdoor adventure at Webelos Adventure Camp! Current Bear and Webelos scouts can plan to join for an action-packed 3 days of scouting fun. We'll embark on activities like hiking, fishing, archery, and much more. Explore the great outdoors, build friendships, and make significant progress towards your Webelos and AOL requirements as you discover new skills and abilities. Registration and more information to come shortly.
