National Summertime Pack Award

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Pack 60 wins the “National Summertime Pack Award”.2008_pack_60_summertime_award

The purpose of the National Summertime Pack Award is to encourage packs to provide a year-round program by continuing to meet during the time periods when school is out of session for several weeks or months. If a pack is in a ‘year-round school’ (or is part of a home-school association), the pack could earn the Summertime Pack Award by having a special pack activity during those breaks.

Last summer we had 5 organized events

  1. Fishing Derby
  2. Collings Foundation Open House
  3. Central Massachusetts Spacemodeling Society (CMASS) club rocket launch
  4. Letterboxing and geocaching on conservation land
  5. Water launch rockets

Thanks to all that attended! It was a blast!

Once you have parked your car, proceed to the gate. Walk straight up the dirt road, past the waterfront area on you left and the amphitheater on your right until you reach the dining hall. At the dining hall, the road forks; stay to the left. The pond will be on your left and the volleyball court will be on your right. About 100 yards from the dining hall you will come to a large open field on the left. This is “The Plains” where we will be camping. We will try to organize the camping areas by den so that your group can stay together.

Remember: A scout is always prepared!
