March 2026 Update

We have an incredible month of adventure ahead, and we want to share that excitement with our community!

For our next two Pack meetings, we are opening our doors to friends, neighbors, and classmates. Scouting is always better with a friend by your side, and these two events are the perfect "test drive" for anyone curious about joining the fun. Any scout who gets someone to join the pack will earn the "Recruiter" patch for their uniform!

I have attached two flyers to this email. Please feel free to print these out for your Scout to hand to a friend at school, or simply text the image to a parent you know!

Here is the lineup for the coming weeks:

 Tuesday, March 10: MAR-10 DAY! (Pack Meeting)

 Summer Camp Sign-Ups are Coming!

Summer camp is the highlight of the Scouting year, and we strongly encourage ALL scouts to plan to attend. Expect to receive detailed communication from our Pack Summer Camp Coordinator, Brian Davenport, this weekend regarding registration.

As you begin to plan, here is how the sessions typically work:

• Lions & Tigers (Current): Generally attend Day Camp (Monday–Friday).

• All Other Ranks: Generally attend the Pack Overnight Camp (Friday–Sunday).

• Parents: We love having parents join us at camp whenever possible!

We are committed to making Pack 116 a place where all are welcome. We can’t wait to see some new faces and see our Scouts showing their friends what we’re all about!
