Info update for "Fire Prevention Week" activities --

The Granville Township Volunteer Fire Dept. on N. Prospect St. has decided to move the "Fire Prevention Week" display and demo to ***Saturday*** from 1 to 3 pm, on Sat., Oct. 13 (before you look, that's Kent State, away). Nothing will happen at the firehouse on Thursday, Oct. 11, so Tigers can't do requirement 2, all three sections, on that night, but they can go from Rocket Day at Granville Intermediate to Req. 2 a,b, & c on N. Prospect Street, with perhaps a quick stop at Whit's.

They also have all arrangements set to bring a ladder rig, and some firefighters in full kit, to the Pack meeting the next Thursday, Oct. 18, and we will of course sing "Old Lady Leary" in honor of the Great Chicago Fire, both frontwards and sideways!

(Thanks to the Geneva NY fire dept. for the photo...)

From the Pack Picnic . . .looking down the Midway!

And at the end of the Midway, the Main Stage featuring one of our Webelos, playing alongside his dad and a colleague (aka La-Z-Boy and Dr. Richard) --

What photo display would be complete without a scene of the valiant and decisive Pack leadership team, trying to figure out if anyone here might want to eat a hot dog (the answer, it turns out, was "yes.") --

Cub Scouts on Top of the World! (or at least Lancaster)

Sunday, Sept. 16 -- Cubmaster Al's Outing to Standing Stone!

Scroll down for more info on this simple picnic and hike option for Cub Scouts and their families at 2:00 pm down Rt. 37 to Lancaster. Click on the picture for a larger view; it's a nice picture, but i didn't take it.

Tiger Cub Organizational Night

Thursday, Sept. 6, at 7:00 pm, all new 1st grade Cub Scouts and their parents are invited to come and work on getting organized into "dens." Each grade level of Cub Scouting has a mascot and set of requirements to earn that level's badge; for the Tiger Cubs, the pack purchases the books (2nd grade Wolves and 3rd grade Bears get their own, available at Cornell's on the north side of Newark's Courthouse Square).

If you know folks with 1st graders who haven't signed up yet, invite them to come too, as we organize what looks like five Tiger Cub dens of 7 to 9 boys and a parent. Please contact me if you can't make the meeting, and we'll assign you to a den as they get structured.

Yours in Scouting,
