Point Lobos Hike – Monday 10/10 at 4pm

Instead of our Pack meeting at the Church we will be hiking Point Lobos on Monday, 10/10/22.  Plan to meet at the Piney Woods Picnic Area at 4pm.  There is a $10 per car fee so you may want to carpool.  Tell the guard gate that you are with Cub Scout Pack 93 from Toro Park.

This will be an approx. 3 mile hike, so please bring lots of water, snacks and a picnic for after the hike if you want.  There is a lot to see, so bring binoculars if you have them.  Please also dress in layers and bring hats and sunscreen.

Point Lobos is located at 62 CA-1, Carmel By the Sea.  The entrance is located three miles south of Carmel on Highway 1.  Here are some links to helpful information:

 We hope to see everyone at the hike!

Carmel Beach Sandcastle Competition, Saturday, 9/17


UPDATE: Our sandcastle design has been finalized.  We'll be making a sea turtle and putting "Pack 93" on it's shell.  It will be similar to the below YouTube video, but on a bigger scale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_p7VnlcKPk. 

Don't forget to bring large spades, buckets, rakes and any sand sculpting tools. Kids will get wet, so swim clothes, sunscreen, hats etc. Bring lunch, water and snacks.  Spray bottles to keep the sand wet would be helpful too.

We'll have our Pack flag out on the beach so you can easily find us, but if you get lost contact Sara Madson at 818-261-8734.

Get your shovels ready Pack 93!

We will be participating in the Carmel Beach Sandcastle competition on Saturday, 9/17. We will meet at Carmel Beach at 10th and Scenic Rd. Our Pack 93 Flag will be out so you can easily identify us. Park anywhere you can along Scenic, the closer the better.

We will begin at 8am, so early birds come on out and start digging! The more the merrier, so come when you can. Judging will begin at noon, with awards at 2pm.

Please bring large spades, buckets, rakes and any sand sculpting tools. Kids will get wet, so swim clothes, sunscreen, hats and shade if you have it. Bring lunch, water and snacks.  If anyone has an awning for shade during breaks please let your den leader know.

The theme this year is “Time Travel – Carmel Beach’s Past.”  Let your den leaders know if you have any suggestions on what to build, otherwise we’ll announce our sandcastle design closer to the date.

Please sign up on the attendance sheet on the blog so we know to look for you.
