 Sap Collection Schedule -- Maple Sugaring Started!
Trees have been tapped due to the weather and the 2012 Maple Sugaring season has started! Ken will need lots of help going around and collecting sap for the next few weeks starting Friday, February 3rd. An e-mail was sent to the pack with instructions on how to pick a night to help with sap collection. Have a look and see if you can help out soon!
Pinewood Derby 2012 Results!
Congratulations to all 50 scouts who participated in the 2012 Pack 9 Pinewood Derby. I've posted the results of all of the races right here on the website so everyone can see how they did. Click Here! to see the results -- you will need the usual username and password required to view areas of the website reserved for pack members only. If you are having trouble accessing the results Click Here to access the contact form and choose the "Webmster / E-mail Lists Help" to get in touch with me and a couple of the other leaders and we'll e-mail you the right stuff! I really enjoyed the event today and I hope everyone else enjoyed themselves too. I think it was terrific in usual Pack 9 style!
Pinewood Derby
 I hope everyone had a great holiday + new year! The next pack event is the annual Pinewood Derby which is happening Saturday, January 21st from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (noon) at the Mary Rowlandson School. If you haven't picked up a car yet, there are several ways to get one -- The Nashua Valley Council Scout Shop right in Lancaster has standard BSA kits, also the store Michaels over in Watertower plaza in Leominster has many BSA approved kits and accessories. If you like to do things online, the ScoutStuff.org Pinewood Derby Area has a large Pinewood Derby section and also check out PinewoodDerby.org which is the official BSA's site to get you excited about the event. It has a really neat car design app you can try differnt styles, colors, and decals to help create your dream car. Also -- your car must comply with pack 9's pinewood derby rules. Click Here or use the link in the "Information" tab on the menu for a copy of the 2012 rules -- for this year the pack is complying 100% with the Nashua Valley Council rules so the cars that advance beyond the Pack 9 competition have no problems complying with district rules and beyond. If you need any help, I know several den leaders are inviting Ken Rapoza to meetings in the next couple weeks to help with weights and assembly. If you need help Click Here or click the Contact Us option in the menu above and use the "General Inquiry" option and we'll get you in touch with any help you need!
Outdoor Programs
How many times have you been told to "Get Out and Stay Out"? Well, now Pack 9 is taking that saying and putting it into action. Check the calendar for our outdoor and other activities. Scouting is more than just going to meetings, it's a game with a purpose. Lets have FUN!
