On May 17, member of Pack 66 Aberdeen-Matawan, NJ cleaned Ravine Drive Elementary school’s garden. Many flowers were planted as well, making the garden look beautiful. This is the second project Pack 66 has completed.
Our pack are going strong work on their commitment to their school. And, now they know the history of their tattered American Flag. Their old glory was donated by a United States Army officer , it is the flag that flew in Iraq with his unit. Then, it was used on his nephews coffin, who was killed in Iraq. The amazing man wanted the flag to fly at the school they both went to, instead of being folded up in his closet, with no purpose.
Our Cub Scout Pack 339, of Texas Skies District, Circle Ten Council in the Dallas, TX area, found out that the playground at our ‘adopted’ school, Crosby Elementary, and their playing field had been closed since the rash of tornadoes struck our town of Forney, TX and many others in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area on April 3rd, leveling homes, cars, and damaging schools, including this one. There were small bits of debris on the ground from roof shingles, brick, windows, etc that made the area unsafe for the kids, so they had been required to stay indoors during recess. But our cub scouts rallied to the cause, donned gloves, spent hours scouring the playground and field to remove all of the debris and re-opened the playground for the students of Crosby Elementary! While the playground equipment itself was too damaged to be repaired, and is waiting replacement, at least the kids can now get outside on the playground and run around during recess!

WAY TO GO, Cub Scout Pack 339! We are so proud of you!
Every school day morning and afternoon, I love watching the Webelos pack trying their best to be among the first to arrive at the flag pole to do the flag ceremony .Our scouts take pride in doing this for their school CES. They also pick up trash in and around the school. And, the work they are doing is drawing a lot of attention from other students. Students look up to our scouts and that is priceless!
The scouts in Pack 85 volunteered at Dugan Elementary’s annual Talent Show. The boys welcomed guests, collected tickets and performed crowd control for both shows. We had 4 Scouts and 3 Leaders assisting us tonight.
Friday the 13th brings bad luck? Not to Holmdel’s Village Elementary School! Cub Scout Packs 131 & 331 of Holmdel chose Friday, April 13th to welcome Spring by planting flowers near the Main Entrance of the school. Scouts, siblings, and parents arrived ready to go, armed with hand shovels, gardening gloves, a big trash bag, jugs of water, and lots of Scout energy and enthusiasm.
After pruning some dead branches and pulling some pesky weeds, the boys turned their attention to planting. They decided that the lighter colored flowers should be planted towards the front of the bed, with the darker ones arranged in the back. The boys then dug in and planted four flats of pansies and carefully watered everything.
The parents managed to wrangle the boys in place for a quick group photo, and then they were off to the climbers for some well earned play time.
On March 2nd Pack 85 helped Dugan Elementary School with their Theater Week showing of The Pied Piper’s Wild West Show! The boys assisted with welcoming the theater goers, handing out programs and assisting with seating…and at the end of the performance they bid all the theater goers a good night and helped to clean up the lobby.
Webelos Scout Ian Campbell from Pack 413 Cascade Pacific Council, put in a few hours on a Pack 413′s Adopt a School project for Hallinan Elementary School. A call went out for volunteers to move some wet messy leaf bags to the proper composting area on the Hallinan Elementary Garden Facebook page. Ian moved 22 very heavy leaf bags to from the drop off zone to the recycle center for the Hallinan Gardens. All of the students including 50+Cub Scouts grade 1-5 are using the gardens to put Science lessons into a practical form with planting and caring for a garden. The food produced is used for sample meals and in individual classrooms for discussions on healthy eating. The garden is green with a rain water gathering center, composting and mulch recycling.

Tiger, Cub, and Webelos scouts in the Nutfield District of the Daniel Webster Council united to raise awareness of critical issues threatening the accreditation of the town’s only high school.
Pack Recognized by Pelham-Windham News
Among these issues were significant deficiencies in the science department. Scouts provided informational flyers to residents and visitors to the town of Pelham, NH and encouraged them to make donations to the school. As part of the effort parents, businesses, and employers were able to provide 40 new lab benches to the school. Additionally, donations were received that allowed the science department to purchase much needed lab equipment. Perhaps one of the most significant outcomes of this project has been increased community support for the high school. As one Bear scout observed, “Even though we aren’t in high school it isn’t right to do nothing when kids may graduate without a ‘real’ diploma.”

On Wednesday, February 1, 2012, members of Pack 327 helped St. Matthias with it’s annual Winter Concert.
Scouts helped with setting up chairs for both the audience and on-stage, greeted people as they entered the area, handed out programs for the Concert, and thoroughly cleaned up the area once the concert was over.
The administration and staff of St. Matthias School was most grateful to the Pack for all their hard work!
