Sign Up — Super Trip 2025

Sign up deadline today! 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

Camp Cards

Camp Cards are an opportunity for our Cub Scouts to raise funds for their adventures while learning valuable skills like goal-setting and communication. Each Scout will have the chance to sell discount cards that offer deals at local businesses, with proceeds supporting their scouting activities, including camp fees. The cards sell for $10 with the proceeds split $5 for Mecklenburg County Council BSA and $5 for the individual scouts. All proceeds are credited to the Scoutbook account for use on camping trips, activities or other Pack events. You can check out as many camp cards as you like over the coming weeks and return anything that the Scouts didn't sell with no obligation. Note: AOL's can sell camp cards and funds can be transferred to younger siblings or to Troop 39 (only Troop 39).

Sullenberger Museum – Pack Event on March 1, 2025:

We have an exciting trip planned to the Sullenberger Aviation Museum this weekend. All scouts and families are encouraged to attend for FREE. Please note the revised date and schedule within the Sign-Up Genius link below. Please confirm your sign up within the link below as the Pack pays for the event. To the extent that your plans have changed, please update the link accordingly.

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.

Annual Recharter – Instructions
In February, many of you received an email from BSA reminding you that your child's membership is expiring. Several years ago, this process has been managed at the Pack level, with us collecting funds and handling renewals on your behalf. However, consistent with last year, there are some changes. These are automated system emails based on your scout's application date (ie Scouts that registered in March '24, received notices)

You will now be responsible for renewing your scout's membership using the links provided in the BSA email you received. Please see the special announcement email that was sent on February 4, 2025 for details.

Outstanding Payments DUE

ALL SCOUTS – Any Outstanding Payments are DUE
