Thanks for coming out and having fun at our monthly Pack meeting and Tent or Treat. The scouts received their advancements they have been earning with their dens and got to make a pumpkin craft, set up and decorate a tent, and go trick or treating! And the rain didn’t deter us!
Our October Pack Meeting will be held at the Rotary Pavilion in Fairview Park on October 29th from 1-3PM. Dens will gather at 1PM to build and decorate their tents, then the Scouts will parade through the tents collecting candy provided by the Pack. Scouts can have fun doing a pumpkin craft. Scouts and siblings are invited to wear a costume to this event.
In addition to Tent and Treat, 2024 dues will be collected so parents and guardians of returning Scouts, don’t forget your checkbook to renew your scout’s membership for this year. Once your Scout’s dues are paid, they will receive their Pinewood Derby kit. The Pinewood Derby will be held in January, so get your kit early so you have plenty of time to work on it. Please note, it you have a new Scout who just signed up in September or October, you will only owe us the Pack fee, as you have already paid your national and council fees with your application, so please remember to pick up your Scout’s Pinewood Derby car at this Pack Meeting.
Please sign up with scouts and siblings planning on attending so we have an estimate of how many will attend. We ask that you volunteer to bring a package of non-candy treats, trinkets, or drinks. Please also sign up with what treats you will be contributing. The sign up page is https://pack843.org/sign-ups/?sheet_id=206

Last night, the scouts from our pack joined with many others from our council to enjoy a night at the ballpark! We saw the Washington Wild Things win the game and then got to sleepover on the field at the stadium. We didn’t get much sleep, but had a great time! I hope everyone can come join us for this event next year!
Thanks to everyone for coming out for our May pack meeting yesterday. We had great weather for a fantastic picnic to wrap up the scouting year. We had advancements that the scouts earned, picnic food, and played games. We had a great time!
Thank you so much to all those who participated in our pack’s Scouting for Food collection! The pack collected 8 boxes of food and baby diapers totaling 140 pounds of donations for the Bridgeville Area Community Food Bank. This made for a great help to our community.
We need scouts to help our community retire flags that are old, worn, or otherwise ready to be retired from service. This is one way that Pack 843 helps out in the community! Please join us for the ceremony, during which we will honor and burn the flags being retired.
Wednesday May 24 at 6:30pm, Fairview Park, Lafayette Pavilion
We’ll be running this in shifts, starting at 6:30, 7:00, and 7:30, so come as you are able and not everyone will be expected to stay for the whole time. Leaders will also be on hand to help scouts work on any requirements or skills that are still needed to earn their rank.
Come join your friends in Pack 843 as we race against other cub scout packs in the area! The race is on Saturday May 13 from 9:30 AM – 2:00 PM. Races include a downhill/gravity race, a slalom, a circular track with scouts pushing each other, and a distance push! We have 2 Cubmobiles and will bring as many scouts as want to attend, but we do need a team to be able to participate! All riders need to wear shoes and a helmet, so bring your bike helmet! See a leader with any questions and sign up on the pack website at http://pack843.org/sign-ups/?sheet_id=200
Registration closes May 5.
We hope to see everybody this Friday at 6:30 in the South Fayette Elementary School gym for our March pack meeting. We’ll have awards as well as a fun Science/STEM demonstration. See you there!
