The pack will gather at the Fairview ENTRANCE Pavilion from 1-3PM on Sunday, March 21st to explore geocaching. Scouts will also receive advancements and awards at this time.

Geocaching  is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called “geocaches” or “caches”, at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world.

We hope to see you there!

Our February Pack meeting is our Annual Blue & Gold Banquet. This event is at the Fairview Firehall (Sunset Room) on Sunday, February 28th from 3:00 – 6:00pm. The Pack meeting will start with our Opening Ceremony with the Award Ceremony for all Dens. Buffet dinner to follow. After dinner we will have our Arrow of Light Ceremony for our AOL Scouts and our Crossover Ceremony for our AOL scouts crossing over to a Troop. Please print this :Blue & Gold RSVP sheet. Fill out the bottom of the sheet and mail it in to the address on the sheet ON or BEFORE February 18th.

This year we have 8 scouts crossing over to 3 different Troops. This is a great event where the younger scouts learn about the Arrow of Light Award and have exposure to local area Troops. I encourage all scouts and families to join us for this event. Since there is a buffet dinner, there is a cost for this event which can be paid by cash, check (made out to Pack 843) or your scout account. If you have any questions, please reach out to your den leader.

Due to Covid-19, we will be distancing as much as possible and ask all scouts and families to remain seated as much as possible. Masks must be worn unless actively eating or drinking. Also, this year we will NOT be having our normal cake decorating contest.

REMEMBER – You will need to fill out and return the RSVP by Wednesday, February 18th.
