Pack 89 held its annual Applebees Fundraiser this past weekend. The Scouts invited family and friends to enjoy breakfast at Applebees. The scouts got to take orders and serve food, and had a great time doing it. This year was one of the most successful Pack 89 has ever had, raising over $800 for the pack.
GREAT JOB SCOUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our Tiger Den volunteered to help at “Operation Shoebox” at the Hillsborough YMCA. Operation Shoebox prepares and ships care packages for our troops serving overseas. Our Tigers Den made cards for our soldiers and put together packages of toiletries, snacks and other comfort items.

Pack 89 held its annual Halloween party in the Gym at HES. There was a Jack-O-Lantern carving contest, plenty of games, fun costumes, and a haunted house.
Friday night, Pack 89 held its first pack meeting of the 2017-18 year. The theme was Sports & Team-Building Games. The Scouts played lots of games, including Crab Races, Basketball, Wheelbarrow Races, Tug-of-War versus the parents, Dodgeball and others.
The Webelos II den held their first den meeting of the year at Ann Van Middlesworth park. The meeting started with their den leader, Jon, discussing the requirement for the Arrow of Light awards Webelos can work towards. Then the boys did some fishing at the pond.
The scouts held their final campfire (and final pack meeting of the 2016-2017 year) at Ann Van Middlesworth Park. The scouts enjoyed games and BBQ before heading to the “bridging up” ceremony. In addition, the Bear Den held their Carnival (a requirement for the Bear rank ).
At the bridging up ceremony, all scouts were formally promoted to the next rank. In addition, the scouts formally retired a worn-out American Flag.
One of the requirements for the Bear Rank is to hold a fundraiser. Our Bear Den chose to organize a carnival to raise money for Autism Speaks. The scouts organized many games including Corn Hole, Ring Toss, Nerf Gun Targets, Nature Trivia, Lawn Bowling, Bottle Flipping, Paper Airplane Toss, Ladder Ball, Jokes and Memory Game.
At the Webleo 1 Den meeting, one of our scouts, who is an ace rubik-cuber, held a tutorial and demonstration for his den. He shared his collection of different sizes and types of Rubik cubes, and gave a tutorial on strategies for solving a Rubik Cube. He finished off the meeting by demonstrating how he can solve a 3×3 Rubik cube in just over 30 seconds.
