Sign Up — Super Trip 2025

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

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). 

 

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.

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])

A separate email will be sent later this week to officially register your car for the PWD. Stay tuned.

Blue and Gold Ceremony – February 11, 2025
Cub Scout Blue and Gold is an annual celebration held by Cub Scout packs to commemorate the founding of the Boy Scouts of America.

Pack 214’s Blue and Gold Ceremony includes our annual cake competition, where each scout and their family can showcase their creativity by designing and decorating a unique cake. The rules for the cake competition are as follows: cakes should be homemade (by the scouts), edible, and no larger than 8×8. Cakes will be judged based on creativity, presentation, and adherence to the this year’s theme – “favorite scouting adventure”. Each scout will also have the opportunity to participate in the cake tasting.
 

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 – Coming Soon
Be on the lookout for a separate email related to the annual recharter process – where Scouts and Leaders re-enroll in the scouting program for the upcoming year.
