2012 Arbor Day Celebration On Earth Day

Our Pack 380 scouts, along with other cub and girl scouts from the area, joined in the City of Concord's celebration of Arbor Day on Earth Day, April 22.  Mayor Ron Leone along with Council Member Laura Hoffmeister were on-hand for the celebration, which focused on planting trees at Newhall Park.  The trees that we planted are located across the bridge on the north side of the parking lot.

Thanks go to our Cubmaster, Mr. Llata, for having us join the city for these celebrations!

Webelo Graduation Ceremony

Congrats to our five second-year Webelos on their graduation to Boy Scouting!

We celebrated the occasion at our April Pack meeting with the presentation of Arrow of Light awards to four of the scouts.  This award is the only one that goes with the scouts from cub scouting to boy scouting. On hand to present the award were boy scouts with the Order of the Arrow.

For the graduation ceremony, we had scouts from Troops 370 and 484 to welcome the five new boy scouts to their troops.  We had two scouts joining Troop 370 and the other three joining Troop 484.  After the ceremonies, our new boy scouts led the younger scouts in a game.  The evening wrapped up with juice and cake.

We look forward to our younger scouts one day being able to have this experience as they move forward.  Here's a short video summary of the ceremonies.

April 2012 Pack Meeting

The focus of this meeting is the bridging ceremony for our second year Webelos who are leaving Pack 380 to move onto become Boy Scouts.  Three of the five boys have been cub scouts with Pack 380 starting as Tiger Cubs!

This is a big day for our five webelos and hopefully one day all of the other current Pack 380 scouts will also be able to participate in their own bridging ceremonies too.  The bridging ceremony marks the "bridging over" of our second year webelos from cub scout to boy scout.  There will actually be a ceremonial bridge at the meeting and members from the two troops that our boys are moving onto at the meeting to accept the boys into their troops.  We have two boys moving onto Troop 370 and three boys moving onto Troop 484.

After the ceremonies, the outgoing webelos will help lead the pack in games and we'll also have cake and refreshments for all to celebrate this important milestone.

In order to help accommodate the two boy scout troops that will join our meeting for the bridging ceremonies, we are moving the start time of the meeting to 630pm just for this one month. The following is the agenda for the meeting:

2012 Pinewood Derby

A great turnout was on hand for the 2012 Pinewood Derby races for Pack 380. With family and friends on hand, all the scouts were able to show off the results their hours of shaping, sanding, polishing, painting and fine-tuning of their pinewood derby cars.

There were cars of all shapes and sizes. Some had to undergo last-minute adjustments to qualify for the races. In the end, Ryan's pick-up truck with what looked like a rocket engine took first place, second place went to another Wolf Cub Owen and his Formula 1 race car, and third place to Webelo David and his green machine.

The "coolest design" award based on a vote of his peers, the scouts, Tiger Cub Zachary won with his Humvee design. The "Turtle Race" was won by Tiger Cub Richard in a squeaker over Bear Cub Kevin.

We had one special award called the "Spirit of Scouting," with its own trophy made by Cubmaster Llata. This award went to Wolf Cub Erik who ran home on the night of the weigh-in to make changes to the car so that it would fit on the tracks, not giving up and making it back just in time to qualify his car for the races. A special nod also should go out to Antonio and his shark as they too had to make adjustments at the weigh-in to reduce weight.

The night also included Unit Commissioner Bernie Zurlo awarding Pack 380 with its rechartering.

Special thanks go to Cubmaster Chris and Den Leader James for helping all the scouts that they did with their cars. Also, the same thanks go out to all of the families who worked on their cars with their boys. Thanks to the pit crew also that included Tracy and Kimm as the official starters, Girl Scouts Naomi and Bonnie as the car retrievers and Scout David as the computer operator for the first time. Thanks to Alicia for the yummy snacks and picking up the pizza! And finally let's not forget Gene Dodge of Troop 364 who lent us the track for this year's race.

This year's race over so time to start planning for next year. We're thinking about have an open class race open to all non-scouts too!
