Let’s Go Camping!

pack381 — Wed, 09 May 2012 18:33:15 +0000

Our first camping event of the year is all set for Saturday, May 19 at Kensington MetroPark in Milford. Details are as follows:

WHO: Everyone, whether you’re a seasoned tent camper or completely new
to camping!

WHEN: Saturday, May 19th. We will have our opening flag ceremony,
awards and skits to be performed at 7:00p on Saturday, but feel free
to come earlier, at whatever time works best for your family. (We will
be reserving our site Friday morning, so you could actually camp two
nights instead of one, if you are so inclined.)

WHERE: We’re hoping to secure Site #4 at the Group Campsite at
Kensington MetroPark, but we won’t know until Friday morning if we are
able to get that particular site. Please watch your email for
confirmation of the site number, or just show up and look for our Pack
381 banner.

WHAT: Rustic tent camping (no RVs or campers). Each family is
responsible for bringing all of their own camping gear and all of
their own food. You many also bring bikes, rollerblades, etc. but keep
in mind that Kensington has an ordinance that requires users of any
wheeled apparatus to wear a helmet.

It should be lots of fun!

Earth Day clean-up at Kensington Metro Park

We’re planning a trip to Kensington Metro Park in Milford to perform some community service and help with their Earth Day clean-up. Scouts and their families will meet up at the Farm Center at 8:45a. We will be given trash bags and latex gloves and will be assigned an area of the park in which to work. After the clean-up, we will return to the Farm Center for lunch.

If you’re planning to join us, please RSVP to Debbie Gowan no later than end of day Friday, April 13.

Pinewood Derby Workshop

pack381 — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 16:27:54 +0000

Our very first Pinewood Derby workshop was a hit. We had about 15 scouts show up with a square block of wood. They left with the beginnings of a derby car that they can race on March 24th. Thanks to the following parents and leaders for their help: Bill Sapp, Scott Miller, Scott Lee, Steve Munkres and Dave Degner. Photos of the event can be seen by clicking on

Thanks to everyone in Den 6 for making our December pack event a success. A highlight of the evening was watching the top three popcorn sellers hit committee members in the face with a pie. You can see video of the three pie-throwers in action below.

If you did not get your Pinewood Derby car from your den leader, please contact them for your kit. If you did not get a copy of the Derby Guidelines, you can download them here.

Popcorn! December Pack meeting!

pack381 — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 21:43:57 +0000

Our awesome Popcorn Kernel shared this photo of his garage at popcorn pick up time:

We hope your scout has received all of his popcorn and is busy delivering it and collecting payment.

Please note that we’ve changed the date of our December pack meeting from Saturday to Thursday, December 15. Details are as follows:

The December Pack Event will be held on Thursday December 15 th from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at Farms Intermediate’s multi purpose room (581 Taylor Road Brighton, MI 48114). This will be, for lack of a better term, a normal indoor pack meeting with a community service theme. We are asking that people bring donations for a local animal shelter i.e. unopened food, bedding (new or used blankets, towels, etc…), or toys. We will start with a flag ceremony, there will be a Christmas Carol sing along led by Den 6, then den awards, followed by Elder-Beerman and popcorn awards, a small service projects for the dens to work on, then the closing flag ceremony. We will most likely be requesting some other items from the dens as well, I will get that information out as soon as I can.
