·         Outdoor/activities

·         May 14-16 – Pack Campout, Pine Lake State Park, Eldora, report.  A bit wet, but a good time nonetheless.  Many boys were able to fish, and some caught their first fish ever!  The group participated in a service project (described below).  Many thanks to those that went above and beyond to make it a success.  We need an “equipment day” to go through the pack’s equipment.

·         June 13 - Arrow of Light Crossover for Webelos 2’s.  We hope to see nearly everyone there as the Webelos 2’s advance into the next phase of scouting.

·         July 30 – Aug 1 – Pack campout at Maquoketa Caves State Park, update.  The campsite has been reserved and planning is underway.

·         Advancement – advancement reports.  Nearly all dens are ready to advance.

·         Service Projects

·         The Pine Lake campout group removed invasive mustard weeds from an area near the park lodge.  Many weeds were removed and the scouts as a group kept busy during the entire project time.

·         Irish Fest service project, request.  Irish Fest organizers have asked if the pack would help during the August 5-8 event, primarily to set up and clean up in the mornings before activities start.  We will ask for more information to determine if this is a good fit for the pack.

·         Canned food to be collected at a fall pop can drive.  Will revisit this before the fall.

·         Chaplain – Religious awards, update.  No report.

·         Training – Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) being planned for September 17-18.

·         Equipment – Discussion about needing to do an equipment inventory and clean the dishes.

 

·         Fundraising – Pop cans, update:

                                     Next can drive June 5, 2021

The last 2 can drives had the scouts sorting at the small table, and it seemed to keep them busy and productive, as well as not interfering with the large sorting table operation.  We will continue this in the upcoming months.
