Hi Pack 162,

We are opening up registration for the camp sites we have at Emma Long Park for the weekend of Nov 6-9. Due to construction at the park and social-distancing limitations, we only have 10 sites available. Registration is limited to AOL Scouts and parent(s) as this will be a good opportunity for the Scouts to finish many of their requirements before moving on to Scouts BSA in the spring. The sites are spaced out every-other site to allow for plenty of room between tents. Please register below so we can assess how many sites will be needed.

Congrats to...

- Den 9 for winning this month's Cubby Award with 100% attendance at the October pack meeting!
- Hank and Brody Jones for winning this month's Kahoot!

The Capital Area Council has announced two council-level Fall-themed cub scout programs:

2. Pumpkinpalooza on weekends in October at Camp Tom Wooten. See this page for details

Scouting in the age of COVID-19
COVID-19’s impact means more uncertainty in all aspects of life, including Scouting. But now more than ever, Scouting provides activities to keep kids active and engaged, learning outdoor skills, and building character. Scouting right now won't be the same as it was last year, but it can still be a great and fun experience.

Is your family looking for a social distancing community service opportunity this summer? The Caraway Green Team is looking for volunteers to adopt the school garden for a week. Volunteer duties include watering 3-4 days a week, weeding if you're able, and harvesting any ripe produce you find (which you're welcome to keep or give away). A hose and water connection is provided on site. To learn more and sign up, visit:

2020 Cub Scout Day Camp will be offered as “virtual” camp only, to accommodate public health concern surrounding Covid-19. There will be no in-person district day camps.

ANY CHILD MAY ATTEND! You do not have to be a Scout to sign up.

Our Day Camp team has put together three fun and engaging programs, available on-demand at a time that best works with your schedule. The program themes are:

Option 1: “Great Outdoor Adventure” (content available June 8)
Option 2: “Weird Science” (content available July 6)
Option 3: “Under the Stars” (content available July 27)

• Each option is $50 per Scout/child
• All options offer 4+ hours of virtual Scouting activities each day for 5 days
• All options include materials we will provide for camp activities
• All options include physical activities, nature and outdoors, community service, learning to cook, crafts, health and safety
• Learn more by viewing this flyer

Sign up for any of these programs and you’ll also receive a voucher to attend our fall Shooting Sports Day and test your BB and archery skills!
