» It's never too late...

It's never too late to join Pack 172 and we always have spots available for 1st through 5th grade boys. In addition, every May we invite Kindergarteners to join the Pack for our summertime activities. This is a great opportunity for these boys to get a head start on their Scouting experiences.

To foster friendships, each boy is assigned to small group, called Dens, of 4-8 scouts of the same age.

» Fun with Maps

If you click on the picture below you will see a map of the last 100 visitors to this website (that clicked on the link). France was our first international visitor and we have recently had visitors from Canada, the UK and Austrailia. Now Scouts can we get a visitor from each of the 50 states? We were at 30+ states in Novermber '08.

Pack T Shirt Design Contest

We would like to open up the design to our whole Pack family. This would be a great and fun project for us over Spring Break. Your design must include "Pack 172" Please bring your designs printed in black on white paper to the May 24th Pack meeting - without your name on it. Keep an electronic copy if you design it on a computer.

We will evaluate them and pick the best for our new T shirts. Be as creative as you want, and have fun! Above are our last 2 for ideas.

Want to learn some Knots?

Our Webelos met last night to start learning some of the knots they will need as young Boy Scouts - is your Scout interested? We found a great site:

http://www.animatedknots.com

click on "Scouting." The site walks you through the steps to make the common knots. Webelos should learn the Square, Bowline, Clove Hitch, Two Half-Hitches and the Taught Line.
