Sep 23rd meeting and October 5th sun/star gazing

Hello everyone,

Our next event will be our Pack meeting on Sep 23rd, at 6:30 pm at the Church.  The focus of this meeting will be Recruiting new Scouts, so invite anyone who may be interested in joining Cub Scouts.

Following this, we will resume our regular Pack/Den meetings on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month.

On Saturday October 5th we will have an outing to the Fremont Peak Observatory.  On that day they will be set up for Sun observing as well as star gazing.  The Sun observing period is from 2 to 5 pm.  We have not yet worked out all the details of an arrival time etc, but will do so soon.

The evening session begins at 8:00 pm.  Families are invited to one or both sessions.  During the time between 5 and 8 pm, we are considering a hike.  Fremont Peak is one of the hikes for the Monterey Hiking patch we are working on.  Details still to be worked out, including allowing time to eat dinner, etc.

The website for the observatory is here:

If you think you are interested in going, please go to the Attendance Page of the blog and add your name.  This will help us as we put our plan together.  The whole family is welcome.

Camping is available at Fremont Peak.  We are not planning to camp as a group, but if anyone is interested in camping with their family, you are welcome to do so.  You will need to make reservations.  Go to the following website for more information.

I have updated the Calendar page on our blog to reflect our Pack plans for the next several months. Dates through December are fairly firm.  Dates after the New Year are still being worked on. 

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask Bryan Banks or myself (Steve Tackett).

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
