Next Pack Meeting - April 25The theme for April is "Abracadabra"Cub Scouts love to amaze and be amazed! Boys discover secrets of the magician's art this month as they demonstrate magical illusions and learn new tricks with cards, coins and other everyday objects. The Cub Scout Magic Book is a great resource for age-appropriate tricks and puzzles. Visit a magic shop or have a magician come to your den or pack meeting to teach the boys a few tricks of the trade. Den Leaders: Please refer to the Cub Scouts Academics program for details on the requirements for The Art Belt Loop -- it would be great to work towards earning this! 
CHECK YOUR CALENDAR!We have a TON of events coming up - as new events are identified by the Pack Committee, we are adding them to Pack Calendar. It is a work in progress, but if you spot something that's wrong, please send a note to our Webmasters
Happy Earth DayWe had about a dozen CubScouts participate in an event at Claude Moore park - all in support of Earth Day 2008, and also towards the World Conservation Award that we are trying to achieve for our Pack. Stay tuned for some photos!
Next Pack Meeting - March 28The theme for March is "From Litter to Glitter"This month Cub Scouts will turn recycled items into treasure and learn about conservation at the same time. Using items that would normally go in the trash or recycling bin, build artistic masterpieces of your own design. It's amazing what some recycled bottles and paper can do when combined with glue and a little imagination. Have a gallery opening at your pack meeting with all your art displayed. Don't forget the Art belt loop and pin. 
What a Blue and Gold Banquet!Thanks to Mark Lynner, and the volunteers who helped to set up the event, the Blue and Gold Banquet for 2008 went off without a hitch on Feb 23rd. Congratulations to the winners of the table decorations contest -- we had an incredible display of engineering prowess with Den 3 Wolf Den led by Denise Steele 'stealing' the first prize (pun intended!) for most creative, and to Den 8 led by Brian Farmer who won the prize for highest structure created. (Does anybody have pictures they can donate?!).We also had some service pins awarded, to those folks who have been consistently dedicating their time towards making Pack 572 one of the best Packs in the District for our varied program. The Magician who performed at the Banquet did a great job, and we're very grateful to all the kids who volunteered to be part of the tricks - luckily the key for the handcuffs was found! 
Another Great Committee Meeting on February 5thWe had our third fantastic Committee meeting of 2008 at the Quarterpath Trace recreation center (across the road from the Shell station on Algonkian Parkway).
WOW! THOSE CARS WERE FAST!We had an incredible Pinewood Derby for 2008! Congratulations to all the boys who attended (we had a record turnout of almost 70 cars racing!) The final results are being tabulated, we're going to find out which Den is going to own the "Pack 572 Trophy" for Fastest Den at the Blue and Gold Banquet on Feb 23rdNote to all the boys who received a trophy at the event - keep those wheels lubricated - because the DISTRICT Pinewood Derby is coming!! (Stay tuned!) A huge thank you to Holly and Guy Stevens, Sam Freeman, Julie Humpton, and all the volunteers who worked to make this such a huge success! September Pack meetingWe had a great "back to school" Pack meeting on September 28th. The boys brought their enthusiasm, we played some games and practiced our very best (and worst!) popcorn sales lines. Special thanks to our Webelos2 boys who served as impartial judges and excellent examples to the boys!Note to Den Leaders: stay tuned for details for upcoming pack meetings, we have opportunities for Opening Flag Ceremony, Skits, Speeches, Demonstrations, Closing, as well as advancement and rewards. As your boys actively work towards completing their objectives, keep alert for opportunities where we can reward their efforts with belt loops!

Boy Scout Troop 572 Boy Scouting works toward three aims: first is growth in moral strength and character; second is participating citizenship; and third is development of physical, mental, and emotional fitness. At Troop 572 we believe that as the scouts of Pack 572 reach the age of Boy Scouts they will have an excellent unit in Troop 572, with a quality program, ready to accept them. Please visit the troop scrapbook to view pictures of our outings program.
