Congratulations to our Webelos II Scouts who crossed over to Boy Scouts during our Blue & Gold Banquet on February 26th.

Dillon, Luke, Casey and Tyler crossed over to Troop 444 in Sweet Valley and Ernie crossed over to Troop 241.

We wish them well as they embark on their Boy Scout journey to Eagle Scout.  I am sure they will make the pack proud.

Back in January our Webelos scouts participated in a Survival Skills event as a part of  Winter Fin Day held at Kirby Park.

The fact that is snowed the night before made the event so much better. The boys had to find a good location, build a shelter and collect enough material from the environment to start a fire and keep it burning for at least an hour.  Correct positioning of the shelter was important and they also had to show their knowledge of survival skills and first aid.

Our boys came in 4th place which is up two places from last year.

Way to go 241 Webelos.

Pack 241 has partnered with Soldiers’ Angels and adopted a soldier in Afghanistan.  His name is Reggie and he is one of a small group of Navy corpsmen who care for unit of 55 Marines at an outpost in Afghanistan. This is our service project until at least August of this year.

Each month we will collect items that will be sent to this unit in care packages.  All of our scouts are asked to write letters that can be included in these packages. The guys love getting hand made cards and letters from the boys. Along with the letters we will be sending pack photos.

Here is a note from Reggie that includes a partial list of items he would like us to collect for his unit.

I would like to thank you for your support. We are in an isolated area and have the bare minimum, so anything you could send to me, would be much appreciated.  I would very much like to help out my fellow HM’s (corpsmen) and Marines by being a point of contact.  We have about 55 individuals here.  We are an all male unit as of now.  The following items would be greatly appreciated by all of us:

Sun screen – Chap stick – Insect repellent wipes
DVDs   (any movies, tv-shows, etc are good. Used DVD’s are fine, but if you can manage some recent releases, that will be great)

Snacks of all kinds are always a hit:  hostess-type cakes, little-debbie, granola bars, pop-tarts, beef jerky are always popular.

Thank you for supporting me and God Bless
