Annual "Pow Wow 2008 - The Magic of Cub Scouting"
Want to learn more about outdoor activities in Scouting? Want to learn about leather-working and wood-working and other hands-on crafting? Want to add pizzazz to den meetings? Want to become a fully-trained Scout leader?

Then attend "Pow Wow 2008 - The Magic of Cub Scouting" on Saturday, November 1. It's a full day of fun-filled hands-on learning opportunities for every level of Cub Scout leadership, including parents. Choose from a variety of classes that best suit your individual needs.
Especially...
  • BALOO: This all-day outdoor orientation class that prepares you for outdoor Scouting fun. Information on camping, cooking, safety, and activities. Note that our Pack must have at least one BALOO-trained adult on every campout, including Winter Camping. Consider taking BALOO so your boy can have fun every year at Broadcreek!

  • Den Leader training: Become a fully-trained den leader and wear the "trained" patch with pride. You must attend all three of the following classes: New Leader Essentials at 10-11:50am (class #46), Introduction to Cub Scouts & How We Have Fun at 1:20-3:00pm (class #47), and the appropriate Tiger/CubScout/Webelos Den Leader class at 3:10-4pm (class #48-51).

  • People who want to be handy: Pow Wow offers classes in wood craft, leather working, making neckerchief slides, making awards and recognitions, whittling, story telling, service projects, and other fun activities.


Pow Wow 2008 will be held at Overlea High School in northern Baltimore city, near the intersection of I-695, I-895, and I-95. Other people from Pack 731 are attending, so maybe we could carpool. Contact Molly Weems at [committeechair@croftonpack731.org] if you want to ride instead of drive.

The registration fee of $30 goes up to $40 after October 24, but even walk-ins are welcome for $45 per person. The fee includes classes all day, lunch, CD of class materials, tote bag, and other goodies.

For more information and the registration form, contact Molly Weems at [committeechair@croftonpack731.org]. The files are also available online at www.baltimorebsa.org - "Training" - "Pow Wow".
