Welcome to Pack 95,
South Saint Paul, Minnesota!

Pack 95 serves Lincoln Center of South St. Paul and Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. Through our active boys, parents, and leaders we maintain a fun, safe environment that teaches our young men the skills and values they need to become outstanding citizens in our community and nation.

Pack 95 meets at 6:30 PM the third Tuesday of the month.  Check the calendar for location.  The Dens also meet up to two times a month at locations chosen by the Den and their families.

Annual Ft. Snelling Clean Up
Community Service Project
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4th, 2012  Kaposia OA Chapter & District’s Winter Event for Cub & Boy Scouts
FORT SNELLING VETERAN’S CEMETERY SERVICE PROJECT
9:00 AM -- NOON
This is an optional service project that is open to families in Pack 95.  A number of families have participated in this for several years now.   If you are interested, please let Dave know.
We will help clean up the Veteran’s Cemetery by removing old Christmas decorations etc., and piling them along the roads for pickup. Helping to care for this very important facility that belongs to all of us and all our community is one of the most satisfying projects we have ever undertaken.

  • Meet at the “Activity Center” (a green trailer) at the corner of LaBelle & Nelson Drives. 
  • Family members or anyone else wishing to join us are welcome.
  • Adults please bring wire cutters. Sleds can be useful to pull piles of wreaths.
  • We also need some adult drivers with open pickup trucks, trailers, etc. to work with teams of older Scouts to pick up and dump the piled materials.
  • Hot drinks will be available, but bring your own cups!

This is an all-outdoor event! Dress for the expected weather!  For more info, click Here.

There will be no advance registration. At check-in, we will ask for a list of participants from each unit.
 

Making the most of
your family's scouting experience
As quoted in Northern Star Council's "Navigator"

Whether this is your first experience or you've had a child involved for several years, there are many things you can do to take advantage of the opportunities available. As parents, you have varying roles to play depending upon the program and age of participant.

Direct involvement is highest in Cub Scouting, and decreases as members grow in their responsibility for program leadership and implementation through Webelos, Boy Scouting, Venturing and Exploring.

However, at all levels there are two keys ways you can help:
  1. Show an interest in your son's/daughter's Scouting accomplishments and achievements
  2. Take on tasks in support of the unit's leadership such as phone calls, event planning, driving to activities, or serving in a more formal leadership role as an assistant or primary unit leader.  

Kids do grow up so fast.  The time families spend together in scouting is cherished and talked about at gatherings long after participants have moved on to other stages of their lives. Make scouting part of you own family tradition.


 

Scout Sunday

Sunday, Feb 5th - The Boy Scouts of America designates the Sunday that falls before February 8 (Scouting Anniversary Day) as Scout Sunday, which is the primary date to recognize the contributions of young people and adults to Scouting. We encourage you to wear your uniform to church and participate in the service if that option is available to you.

 


Attention Den Leaders

January - Have you seen the New "Leaders" tab at the top for den meeting ideas.   Also note the "Training" Tab with information on required and optional training courses for leaders and the Cub Scout pod-cast. 

To make things interesting... the first Den Leader to email me with thier favorite go-see-it recommendation gets a $5 Black Sheep gift card. Smile
 

The Pinewood Derby is Coming!

December 2011 - On a Saturday in March we will be having our annual running of the Pinewood Derby at the South St. Paul VFW!   Everyone should have their 'stock car' by now.   You can work on your cars as a family, and/or with your den.   Additional cars are available for the siblings and parents "Open" class race.

Please follow all wood shop safety rules, especially wearing protective eye wear

For the official rules and specifications on the vehicles, see the NEW 2012 rules located on our "Forms" page.  **NOTE**  The Boy Scouts of America have banned Lead weight from all PWD cars.  Only non-lead weights will be allowed.   Additionally Slotted axle's from certain hobby shops are NOT legal.  Presence of these things will get a car disqualified.   Please see the 2012 rules here.

We need volunteers for the Set up, Pit Crew, Concessions, and Silent Auctions committees.  Please contact Dave for opportunities to help!    More info to follow.

 

Blue and Gold Pot Luck Banquet

**SAVE THE DATE** Sunday, February 26nd -  Join us Sunday afternoon at the SSP High School cafeteria for our annual Blue and Gold banquet celebrating not only the birthday of Cub Scouts, but the achievement of each and every one of our scouts.  We'll have Dinner and Entertainment and our Webelos II will advance to Boy Scouts.

This year, to the size of the group and lenght of the program, the event will be catered.   We will be charging a small fee per individual or per family to cover the costs.   More info to follow.   We need help with set up, decorations and clean up. If you did not get a chance to sign up, or you have questions on how to help, contact:  Sarah or Dave.
 

Family and guests are welcome.  We will send out invitations and will need RSVP's by mid Feb.  Print out special invitations to give to your special guests.

 


Interested in Scouting?

Why join?

Boys want to have fun, while parents want them to learn positive values and skills that will last a lifetime. If your boy is about to enter first through fifth grade, Cub Scouting may be exactly what you are both looking for. And its one of the few after-school activities that gives you one on one time with your child.

How do I join?

The Cub Scouts are open to any boy between the ages of 6 - 10 (Grades K to 5).  For more information please feel free to send us an email or visit one of our monthly Pack meetings. Pack 95 supports Lincoln Center.  To see if your school has a pack, visit www.adventureiscalling.org.

Scouting needs parents, too!

Scouting is a volunteer-led program.  Parents and the organizations who charter (sponsor) Scouting groups select the leaders who they would like to work with their children.  Volunteer to help at one of our many events; you'll be glad you did!
