Webelos Fall Rendevous
Both of our webelos dens were well represented at our first fall rendevous at the Rostan Cabin on the grounds of the Piedmont Scout Reservation. The cabin sits on a hill in the Netami Camporee area. We had 15 boys in attendance and lots of leaders. The boys worked on their Forester and Naturalist badges and had a great time. Mr. Alan Keller, Asst. Scoutmaster for Troop 202 led the boys on a 1 1/2 mile hike over to Camp Bud Schiele to show the boys where Boy Scout Summer Camp is held each year. We had cooking demonstrations and learned more about dutch oven cooking. The cornbread was everyone's favorite. After a wonderful church service, led by Mr. Paul, we even had time for a friendly game of baseball. The leaders beat the boys 13 to 1! We had a great time being together and enjoying the great outdoors.
Webelos Plan Blanket Drive
As a service project, the webelos dens of Pack 202 are organizing a "Blanket Drive" to benefit BUCM (Burke United Christian Ministries). Due to recent cutbacks, BUCM is low on funds available to people in need of assistance with heating bills this winter. The high cost of fuel and high unemployment in Burke County has increased the need for assistance in fuel bills. To help out, we are asking that anyone that would like bring new or gently used blankets to the scout hut. We will take these blankets to BUCM and they will distribute them. We had very good results with our coat drive and this should be a good project for us as well. Please spread the word to your families and churches so we can help make a difference. Everyone deserves to be warm this winter.
