Events
We’ll kick off the Summer Activities with our annual Pack 155 Family Campout. The campout is always a great time, and Scouts will enjoy a special campfire “graduation” ceremony as they move on to their next rank for the Scout Year next fall. Uniform: Class B for daytime activities, Class A for graduation ceremony
The fun starts on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. Pitch your tent at the Lloyd Dillon Scout Camp and bring the whole family for an afternoon of outdoor activities and an evening of playing under the stars. We’ll have a family potluck before gathering around the campfire as our scouts “crossover” to their next rank in scouting! Our newly minted Webelos will treat us to breakfast Sunday morning after our pack worship service.
We will be making foil dinners on the charcoal grill. The pack will provide the meat. Please sign up for one of the vegetable add-ins or a dish to pass. We will also need a few additional charcoal grills and tables. Bring your own camp chairs and water bottles/family-friendly beverages.
This year’s campout is at the Lloyd Dillon Scout Camp, W9458 HWY 18, Cambridge.
