Come and visit us at the Nash Elementary open house on Monday, August 31st from 5:00 to 6:30p

We'll be showing off our brand new Pinewood Derby track!

Cub Scouts from Pack 567 in uniform will be able to race cars on the track!

Stop by and say "Hi"

Another fun activity with the Pack! Our last summer event and our first meeting of the school year. It was lots of fun. The kids made and flew kites, had tent setup competitions, and shot water-bottle rockets! And of course there was the scout favorite: DODGEBALL!

I'm looking forward to a great year!

The news is very exciting; but the boxes came while we were preparing for our Spring Campout, so they did not get the fanfare they deserved.  That’s right! Our brand new Pinewood Derby track has arrived!  I now have boxes of parts, that if assembled properly, should be our shinny 42ft long aluminum track!

To celebrate our new track (and to make sure we know how to put it together) we will be assembling and testing it out this Thursday, June 11th at Nash.  Since the Wolf den won the penny challenge, they will get to try out the track first!  Track testing will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the cafeteria.  Bring your cars to test out the track or just come to see our new track!  There will not be any official competitive racing, so there will be no need to spend a lot of time preparing the cars.  Just come and have some fun.

What a great Pinewood Derby!  We had a terrific turn out.  We ran lots a races and ate lots of good food!  Thank you to all the parents that helped make this such a wonderful event.  The exciting news is that next year we should have a new track.

Our annual Blue and Gold Banquet was a huge success! We had great food, great company and of course, lots of cake!

Along with the usual guests, this year we also had some special guests including Alderman Bogdala, Mayor Bosman, and Senator Wirch.

The boys thought it was really cool that the Mayor was at their Blue and Gold. I thought it was really nice the Senator, the Mayor, and the Alderman took the time to attend our little Cub Scout banquet.

The boys did a great job with their skits and we had to say goodbye to some of our boys as they crossed over to Boy Scouts. Now we can focus our attention to the boy's favorite event of the year: The Pinewood Derby.
