Wood Duck Walk

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Our next summer time activity will be a Wood Duck Walk at Richardson Nature Center. We will be hiking through approximately ¾ of a mile through a mature forest, a small section of a 40 acre prairie and along the edges of several wetlands. You will learn about what is being done to preserve the habitat of these beautiful birds and have a chance to see them in their natural environment.

Our hike will begin at 6 p.m. at Richardson Nature Center is located at 8737 East Bush Lake Road, Bloomington, MN 55438 on Wednesday, August 11th and take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours and you will have the opportunity to earn the Wood Duck Patch. We need a count in order to get the necessary materials. The pack will pick up the costs of scouts Siblings are welcome and are required to pay $1 for the materials.

Rocket Launch

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

On Sunday, July 25th, we have our annual Rocket Launch, at the CMS fields from 3-5 pm. Bring your own rocket, the pack will supply the engines and the launch pads. This is a joint venture with Pack 479, so be sure to wear your blue pack t-shirts or uniform. You can make your own rocket from a kit, or buy one all constructed and ready-to-go. You can find rockets at hobby stores like Hub Hobby or Hobbytown, or even at Walmart. Pick one that uses an A or B sized engine — no C engines are allowed.
Please RVSP to MARY VAN BEUSEKOM (vanbeusekom1 {at} msn(.)com) by July 20.  –
Adults, you will want chairs, and if you have portable shade (like a canopy), you might want to bring that, too. Siblings can participate, too — we ask for a $2 donation to offset the cost of the engines.
 
********VOLUNTEERS NEEDED**************
- Volunteers to help assemble the barrier area before the event
- Volunteers to help the boys assemble the rockets and the igniters properly. 
- Volunteers to help launch the rockets – adults only inside the firing zone
- Volunteers to help keep the boys in order at first while they wait their turn

 

Parents – if you are able to come to the event,  we hope you will think about volunteering to make the event more successful!
