The Pack has been busy all winter and into spring. The January Space Derby was exciting not only for the contest but for the fire that night which destroyed the Scout Room. That added event will be long remembered by the Pack.
The annual Blue and Gold Banquet this year was also “Mardi Gras” and both Cubs and parents came in parade costumes to add fun to the evening. The boys have been earning their advancements at a good clip. Pack 31 pretty well sets the awards pace for the West District.
March was “magic” month and at Pack meeting, many boys had both magic and tricks to show. Parents were tied together upon arrival and had a lot of fun getting “undone” the proper way. April is the annual “Roll Call and Inspection” in preparation for re-registration due May 15. The boys enjoy the competition for points at the inspection. In celebration of meeting the many deadlines, the Pack will go to the Cardinal baseball game on June 26.
All boys are eligible for day camp the week of July 23 in Forest Park. Mary Alice Krueger will again be the director. The Webelos boys (the ten year olds) will go to Webelos Camp with their Den Leader, Dennis Mattli, for a week in July. The Webelos Camp is at Camp May and a good introduction to boy scouting.
