Raingutter Regatta 2010

Update: Congrats all our budding young sea captains!  I posted some pictures online of  today's races at http://picasaweb.google.com/scoutpack66/RaingutterRegatta2010?feat=directlink.


The annual Raingutter Regatta will be held this coming Saturday, January 23rd, 2010.
  • This event is scheduled from 11 am - 1 pm.
  • Dens will meet at Saint Bernard's Parish Center and lunch will be provided.
  • Parent participation is recommended, however if a parent is unable to attend, they can drop off and pick up their scout if they leave a contact number (in case the event ends early).
No prep is needed for the Raingutter Regatta*.  We'll have boat kits, and the boys assemble/decorate their boats just before the races begin.


* Of course, the Frese boys have been practicing in the basement for the past month!  ;-)

Archery Day 2010


4rd Annual North Star District
Cub Scout Archery Day

Update:
Several boys from Pack 66 practiced shooting bows and arrows at this year's District Archery Day. The boys are getting pretty accurate now, and when you see the power released from even a kid-size compound bow, we appreciate why safety is a top priority!
