APRIL  THEME “JURASSIC PACK”

Explore the land before time! Imagine living in a  time when dinosaurs roamed 
the Earth. What have paleontologists learned about  the great beasts that 
roamed the Earth millions of years ago? Did any dinosaurs  live where you do now? 
Find out what they ate, where they lived, and how they  moved. What could we 
learn of these creatures that lived so long ago? Make a  model of a dinosaur 
or visit a museum where dinosaur fossils can be seen. Make  your own “dinosaur 
footprints” or “fossils” in plaster. Take a “dinosaur  scavenger hunt” by 
going on a hike and looking for things that might have been  found during the 
Jurassic Period. This would be a great time to work on the  Geology belt loop 
and pin. 
Please join us for a trip back in time at the  April Pack meeting on 
Thursday, April 23 at the BESPC Multipurpose  Room.

SCOUTING FOR FOOD 
Scouting for Food is an opportunity for boys to  serve their community by 
helping those who fall on tough times and need  assistance to put food on the 
table. Many of those affected by the tough economy  are young children you might 
be in your class at school.  On March 21 Scouts canvassed the town  with bags 
and a flyer telling what is needed in the Community Emergency Fund’s  Food 
Pantry located at Baldwin First United Methodist Church. This Saturday,  March 
28, we need everyone to help collect the food, sort it and deliver  it to the 
food pantry. We will meet at 8:45 a.m. at the Troop 65 cabin,  divide up into 
teams, get assigned an area of town, pick up the food left in the  bags on front 
doors, bring it back to the Troop 65 cabin, sort it and then take  it to the 
food pantry. We need everyone’s help. Remember, Scouts do a good  turn daily.  

DEN REPORTS 
Webelos II Den 5 visited Boy Scout Troop 65  on Monday, March 23 and learned 
how Boy Scouts can be so much fun. We are still  working on our Arrow of Light 
preparing for Graduation Weekend in  May. 
Webelos I Den 3 is busy with activities  toward the arrow of light award and 
earning compass points.  We are proud of Alex Lundy and  Ryan Wessling who 
received their Webelos badge and Compass badge at the  Blue and Gold Banquet. We 
are heading to Webelos Camp on July 19-21 at Camp  Naish. We can’t wait. What 
to bring, permission slips, and health forms will be  available before the 
April Pack meeting. 
Bear Den 8 is working hard on some arrows  and electives plus belt loops. We 
are so proud to have earned the Bear  Badge by the Blue and Gold Banquet. We 
are looking forward to camping out at the  Graduation Weekend. Three of us will 
be attending Webelos Camp at Camp Naish  this summer. 
Wolf Den 1 has been busy earning the Wolf  badge. We are now working on arrow 
points and are getting prepared for Bear Camp  this summer at Camp Naish. It’
s the only year we get to go. During April we will  be working on our den 
flag.

Pack  Family Camping (Graduation Weekend) May 8-10,  Spring Lake Park, 
Baldwin    Pack overnighters are  pack-organized overnight camping activities 
involving more than one family  from the pack, with the program focused on 
age-appropriate Cub Scout  activities and conducted at a Council Approved Pack  Camping 
Location. If nonmembers (siblings) participate, the  program is structured to 
accommodate them.  
This type of  activity may well be the first time a Cub Scout and his family 
has to experience  the fun and excitement of camping in the outdoors. Careful 
program planning  and adherence to the BSA's health and safety policies found 
in  the Guide to Safe Scouting and Youth Protection guidelines assures a  
positive experience for the pack, the Cub Scout and his  family. 
To begin with, each  youth member must be under the supervision of a parent 
or guardian and, in  all cases, each youth participant is responsible to a 
specific adult who is  on the overnight. Adults giving leadership to a pack 
overnighter must complete  Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO Training), 
and be present  on the campout as well.  BALOO trains participants to properly 
understand  the importance of program intent, Youth Protection guidelines, 
health and  safety, site selection, age-appropriate activities, and sufficient 
adult  participation.  BALOO is offered in  Lawrence on April 25, just in time 
for the Graduation  Weekend.
