All Pack 843 Cub Scouts and their immediate families are invited to attend this annual buffet dinner, our yearly celebration of Cub Scouting!  We will be recognizing the achievements and advancements within the Pack, as well as celebrating the Webelos II scouts crossing over into Boy Scouting.  The event takes place Sunday February 28th from 3 to 6 PM at Fairview VFD Banquet Hall.

All boys are invited to participate in the Cake Contest*.

Scouts must be in full uniform for this event.

Ticket prices are as follows:

• $14.95 for adults and non-scouts 10 years of age or older
• $7.95 for Cub/Boy Scouts (of any Pack or Troop) and children under 10 years of age
• Pack 843 Webelos II scouts and children under 3 are FREE

To purchase tickets, complete the reservation form at the bottom of this flyer and include  a check for the proper amount made payable to “Pack 843”.  Then:

• Return it by mail to: Liz Hand, Webelo 2    1099 Harding St.     Bridgeville PA 15017
• OR give it to your den leader to forward to Liz
• OR turn it in at a pack event (weigh-in, Pinewood Derby, or a den meeting)

* Cake contest details:  Each Scout and an adult partner are challenged to bake and decorate a Scout themed cake.  Some examples are camping, achievement activities, good deeds, etc.  There will be ribbons for 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd place.  The entire cake, including decorations, must be edible. No paper, toothpicks etc.  Only the thing it sits on doesn’t have to be edible but that can’t be part of the decoration.  After the competition the cakes will be served for desert so we would like as many participants as possible.  Place the Scout’s name on the underside of the cake so the competition is as anonymous as possible.  Judging will be done by the 3 Scoutmasters from the Boy Scout Troops that our Webelos II Scouts will be joining.

Is everyone hard at work on their cars?  The 2016 Pack 843 Pinewood Derby is just around the corner! Before you begin building, be sure to review the Official Pack 843 Pinewood Derby Rules (pdf)
