Well here we are at the end of the 2020/2021 school year, and to say that it has been an unusual year would be an understatement. Covid-related restrictions have limited the number of pack activities we were able to enjoy for the past year. Den meetings have been either held via Zoom or outdoors in St. Stephen’s back parking lot. Fortunately, though, we’re now seeing pandemic restrictions slowly lifting, and as a result we are gradually able to once again start enjoying some of our usual Pack 118 events. The last weekend of April found Pack 118 on our annual spring camping trip. This year’s trip took us to Stone Mountain State Park near Elkin, NC. Stone Mountain did not disappoint and Pack 118 did an excellent job living up to the principles of scouting. We enjoyed some wonderful weather, and on Saturday our scouts completed the rigorous 4.5 mile Stone Mountain Loop trail. Saturday evening found us enjoying spaghetti dinner and cast iron brownies around the campfire followed by an end-of-season awards ceremony during which all of our scouts were awarded their hard earned rank badges. On Saturday, May 15 we celebrated the end of the year by finally holding our 2021 Pack 118 Pinewood Derby, an event normally held in January. We enjoyed an lunch of hot dogs and refreshments before we got down to the business of racing. Each den held 4 heats and the scout with the best average time moved up to the final. Parents and siblings were also able to get in on the fun by in the “Outlaw Class”. Congratulations to our winners from each den! This summer we’ve got some exciting events coming up including Summer Day Camp (June 14-18), Webelos Adventure Camp (July 11 - July 14), as well as several day hikes which will kick off our new hiking stick program. Stay tuned here for more information.
