Tiger Den Meeting @ Littleton
Apr 27 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

April den meeting for the Tigers.  This is a 2 part meeting.  We'll be learning how to use a compass and a GPS, and making our own geocache.  In the 2nd part of the meeting (on a following Sunday), the boys will be putting their skills to the test to find the Geocache in the wild.  Your son should bring a trinket to this meeting to place in the geocache.  It should be something that he won't mind losing.

Spring Hike @ Jockey Hollow
May 7 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Update:  We will be starting out hike at the parking lot near the New York Brigade Trail.  This is near the intersection of Jockey Hollow Road and Grand Parade Road.  I'm attaching the park map with our starting point circled.  Our plan is to start the hike at 1pm.  So please try to arrive by 12:45pm.

While not specific to this trail or area, all reports indicate that this is going to be a bad year for ticks.  The best repellent is permethrin-treated clothing.  Permethrin can be purchased at Walmart, Amazon, and similar outlets and should be applied the day before. Amazon – Sawyer Permethrin Spray  Also think high socks and long pants

Please join Pack 142 on our Spring Hike!

Event Date: Sunday, May 7, 2017
Event Time: 1:00PM – 4:00PM
Event Location: Jockey Hollow
Dress Requirements: Pack T-Shirt

Please see click here for the trail map! Mr. Mazur will send an email out to provide detailed instructions on our meeting point, however we will meet at the main parking area at 1:00PM. Please ensure you bring water and small trail snack! Scouts that are working towards their hiking requirement should bring a backpack with the Cub Scout Six Essentials for Hiking.

  1. First Aid Kit – A kit should include a few adhesive bandages, some moleskin (a sticky bandage that you can put over a blister to keep it from getting worse or rubbing), and a bandage or two.
  2. Filled water bottle Make sure it is big enough to carry water for you to drink through your whole hike and back. And make sure it is full when you start out! It is not safe to drink water you find along the trail.
  3. Flashlight Check your batteries to make sure they have plenty of juice. Your flashlight will be used only in an emergency, so save the batteries for times when you really need them!
  4. Trail food Trail mix or a granola bar provide quick energy when you need it.
  5. Sun Protection Sunscreen should be SPF 30 or greater. A hat is good to have, too!
  6. Whistle It's only for emergencies, but a whistle will last longer than your voice.

We are looking forward to welcoming some new families and visitors that are interested in finding out more about Pack 142 to our pack meeting! You are welcome to invite any friends and families with boys that are Cub Scout age (grades K-5). Please be sure to RSVP to let us know you are coming and how many guests to expect.

If one or more friends of your Cub Scout join our pack, your Cub Scout and all new friends that they recruit will receive a “My Best Friend is a Scout” patch. Your Cub Scout will also be presented with a “Recruiter” patch.
