California Coastal Cleanup Day - September 19, 2009

Join us Saturday morning, 9 am, September 19, 2009 at Lake Murray for "California Coastal Cleanup Day". Meet us at the Boat Dock as we help the Friends of Lake Murray clean up the lake and park. Wear your Pack T-shirt, working shoes, and a pair of strong rubber gloves. This is a great Community Service Project for our Scouts. We all enjoy walking, biking, fishing, and picnicking at Lake Murray. Let's help out to keep it beautiful!

DIRECTIONS:I-8 E, exit Lake Murray Blvd and take the Alvarado Rd. East/Lake Murray Blvd ramp. Merge onto Lake Murray Blvd, turn left onto Kiowa Drive. Look for event sign and boat dock.

What's In Your Pocket?

"CUB SCOUT POCKETS" is the theme for September. Scouts, what do you carry around in your pockets? A lucky coin or rock, trading cards, marbles, candy? You can bet that Cub Scouts usually have something interesting in their pockets.
Help celebrate all our hard-working people in America on Labor Day, September 7th. Make sure to fly the American flag proudly to acknowledge the day.
Join us at Lake Murray on Saturday, September 19th at 9 am as we participate in California Coastal Cleanup Day. We will meet at the boat dock. Come dressed in your Pack T-shirt if you have one, along with comfortable closed toe shoes, a hat, and your good attitude as we help clean up around the lake.
Our first Pack Meeting of the new school year will be Monday, September 28th, at 7 pm in the auditorium at Marvin Elementary. Many of our Scouts will get their pockets filled with awards that they have earned over the summer. We'll have an Ice Cream Social and quick parents' meeting at the end of the Pack Meeting.

Pack 928 Summer Wrap-up

THE SUMMER IS WINDING DOWN, and Pack 928 had a great one! Many of our Scouts participated in our Summertime Pack events, which included some Fishing and Biking at Lake Murray, Cosmic Bowling, and Camping at Dos Picos. All of our events were fun-filled and offered the Scouts opportunities to work towards some achievements for their Rank or work towards Belt Loops, Pins or other Awards. Some also attended Day Camp for a week of fun and adventure.
Make the most of your last few days of summer before we head back to school and get ready for another GREAT year of Scouting. We'll have many exciting things to look forward to over the year. Stay tuned...and, Good Scouting to You!
