October 18 2008 • Campfire at the Newport News Campground

Well, after a very rainy Friday and a canceled camping night, we started the camping weekend Sat 2pm with a 2.5mile hike through Newport News Park.
In the afternoons the Scouts and their parents set up the tents & the kitchen, played in the woods, sewed a leather knife case, collected woods for the campfire and got ready for dinner: Hamburgers and Hot Dogs, Chips and Salad.

The campfire was a gathering place for the Pack Meeting. We had skits and songs, a bear hunt and we introduced the Tigers to the Pack with their orange/black Tiger marks on their cheaks. 

Of course we had SMORES !!! ... around 10pm most Scouts listened to their pillow music ....   more pics ...

February 3rd • Sunrise Service • Yorktown

The sunrise service at the Yorktown Victory Monument begins with the drumbeat just before the sun broaches the horizon. 

It was cold for the 2008 service! 

But a 103 scout volunteered to be a part of the service conducted by a chaplain from the nearby Coast Guard station (and feel the weight of "guilt" over doing something wrong, as symbolized by a LOT of textbooks in a backpack). 

February 2nd • William&Mary Basketball Game

The Tribe had a great team, the arena was full of noisy fans, and the team rallied in the second half and held off some last-second threats to win the game we saw. 

This is a great wintertime activity for Pack 103.

January, 26th •  Museums Overnighter • Richmond Science Museum

THANK YOU to everyone who made the Camp-in at the Richmond Science Museum a success 

Most especially, Erin Gray! She kept it all moving forward and was there with us in the 103 Sound Chamber Saturday night. 

I thought we showed how sharp we were, getting 40 kids in, enjoying the activities, and packing out in good order. 

I was proud to be with you! 
Wish I had gotten some of the inside science scoop from Jeff Nelson during the wander time, but I did crawl in and out of their mock-up of John Glenn's first spacecraft! (Good to touch base with the old clausterphobia to make sure it's still there)
