OK -- this is an edited, updated post for the Pool-Pizza Party, which had over 100 Cubs and family members turn out to the Newark Y last Saturday night! Thanks to everyone who helped out.
Remember that den leaders need to have all your popcorn/green money turned in by 7:00 pm on Monday, Dec. 1, and we hope that you have either checks made out to "Granville Pack 3" or take money you get and write one check to "Granville Pack 3" when you turn it in.
Also, everyone *EXCEPT* Tigers need to turn in their $40 or $52 for the new calendar year's registration and dues ($40 for that, another $12 for $52 if you have a "Boy's Life" subscription), which your den leader can bring in on Monday, Dec. 1 as well. Thank you!
And the first big event in the new year is Pinewood Derby, with car kits handed out at the December Pack meeting -- for ideas and inspiration, check out this site: http://www.cbhi.org/content/jj-funtoread-7370260.htm

Scouting History & Heritage
From a friend here in Licking County who was a Boy Scout in the early 1930's, before Camp Falling Rock opened; this is from the southern side of the Licking River east of Newark north of Blue Jay Road where one of the first Scout summer camps was held.
In the front row, in the polka dot neckerchief, is the Licking County Council's first Scout executive, Mike Bauman, front row 2nd from left, and 3rd from left is Bill Reynolds, scoutmaster for Troop 6.
Just a little history for our Webelos preparing to cross over into Boy Scouting this March!
UPDATE: The man who sent me this jpg tells me it is more likely to be 1925 or 1926, just before Camp Falling Rock opened in 1928, with Franklin Lodge built in 1938 on the spot where the original Mess Hall was re-built . . . that having been brought from Blue Jay Camp in pieces, and erected there as the first building at CFR.
