I highly recommend everyone try and make a few practice runs on the the
1/21st. I know the first car I built with my son barly made it to the
end. Lucky some of the older scouts were there to help out and taught
us some tricks.
Scout Sabbath
2/5/12 and 2/11/12
Scout Sabbath is celebrated at thousands of
Churches and Synagogues every year. The day is meant to mark the
founding of Scouts in the United States and observation varies. For
Southborough Pack 1 Scouts are asked to wear their uniforms to their
religious services and help with the service. The Religious Leaders are
asked to recognize the Scouts and Scouting at some point during their
service.
Also this year Rev. James Flynn, Executive Officer of Pack 26 and
Pastor of St. Matthew Church, has offered to host an Ecumenical Service
for all of the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts of Southborough and their
families. The Event will take place at St Matthew's Church on Sunday,
Feb. 5th at 12:30pm and will be followed by a light reception
Providence Bruins
Sunday 2/12/12 Providence Bruins Game against
the Albany Devils. The game starts at 4:05 PM and all three
Southborough Packs will be there. At just $15/ticket the entire
family is welcome. The Scouts will receive a Providence Bruins
hat and a customized badge. Dan will provide more details at the
1/9 pack meeting and pass around a signup sheet. Last year we had
over 150 Southborough participants! Since this is a day event
only, many new Tigers enjoy this afternoon opportunity.
Blue and Gold
The Blue and Gold
is a 78+ year old tradition bringing Scouts and their familys
together. Pack 1 combines the Blue and Gold dinner with the March
pack meeting using it as time to send our WeBeLos off to Boy Scouts,
award the Pinewood derby winners and to give thanks you's to some of
the volunteers making Cub Scouts possible.

chaperones get to find out. On a MOS overnight you will discover
science in an entertaining, educational, and interactive way through

and much more. Plus, where else do you have a chance to sleep under a
dinosaur or a giant grasshopper? A snack an Breakfast are included but
