I can’t believe it’s almost time for the Pack 46 End-of-Year Graduation Campout and Raingutter Regatta! We have some great activities scheduled, and you’ll also have an opportunity to sign up for Twilight Camp and Cub Resident Camp.
Special!: As part of the Pack Graduation Ceremony, we’d like for all Cub Scouts present to have their new rank’s neckerchief and slide for their parents to present to them. To make that easier, we’re going to have a bunch of them available for purchase to save you a trip to the Scout Shop that week. We’ll also have a few Handbooks for each rank available for purchase so maybe you can get a head start on some advancement work over the summer.
Be sure your Cub Scout brings his Class A uniform to change into after the Regatta for the ceremonies. For what to bring camping (don’t forget your mess kit!), check out the Camping section of our online Handbook.
VOLUNTEER! We need volunteers for the following jobs at this event (updated Wed 5/9): Raingutter Regatta decoration supervision (1), Cookout cooks (1-2), Supper cleanup crew (1-2), Breakfast chefs (2), breakfast cleanup crew (2), Sunday morning cleanup crew (2-4) to help pack up group gear and pack it into vehicles for the trip home. The more volunteers we have, the better and faster every part of the event will go! To volunteer, please contact Cubmaster Steven Jarvis. Thanks for helping make our pack events super awesome!
Sign Up for Other Fun Stuff: You can also turn in your registration for Twilight Camp (See more info on Twilight Camp here), pay your Pack Dues if you haven’t already, buy your neckerchiefs and slides for the day’s ceremony, etc.
The schedule will be:
When: 5:30pm to 9pm, Tuesday, June 26 to Friday, June 29
Where: St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 1722 Starr Road, Fayetteville
Cost: $50 before May 23 ($65 after May 23); $30 if parent is a volunteer for 3 days; FREE if parent is a volunteer all 4 nights
Deadline: Registration is by Pack, so you need to turn in the registration form, a BSA Health form Part A and B, and payment to the Pack by Wednesday, May 23 at 9 p.m. You can turn it in at the Graduation Campout on May 19 and 20 or deliver it to the Cubmaster’s house by the deadline.

Tigers (not Tigers now, as they’ll be Wolves in June, but brand new Cub Scouts who will be in 1st grade next fall or will be 7 by Twilight Camp) MUST HAVE an adult partner with them AT ALL TIMES during Twilight Camp.
We will need at least two volunteers for 1-10 Scouts, 3 volunteers for 11-15 Scouts, 4 volunteers for 16-20 Scouts, and 5 volunteers for 21-25 Scouts. Volunteers can lead groups (usually ours Scouts) around from activity to activity or can help with the program (materials will be provided in advance). Contact Cubmaster Steven Jarvis for more information on volunteering.
Attending Twilight Camp (or Cub Scout/Webelos Resident Camp at Camp Orr in July) is one of the ways to satisfy the requirements for the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award (the cool patch that goes on the right pocket flap of the uniform) and helps qualify for the Summer Activity Award (a pin that also goes on the right pocket flap).
The next round of Pack 46 t-shirts are coming! Please contact Matt Morningstar (see contact info in Scout Track) for how to reserve one. This will be the last batch until late Spring or early Fall.
The Cub Scouts voted for their favorite design at the March Pack Meeting, and the pictured design won.
Pack t-shirts are $10 each and are available in a range of sizes. Contact Matt for more info.
For any Scout Parent — especially if you want to become an Adult Volunteer — the first thing you need to do — even before filling out a BSA Adult Volunteer Application — is to take Youth Protection training at myscouting.scouting.org, the BSA’s online training center.
Youth Protection Training covers how scout leaders and parents deal with children for the protection of all involved. Our goal at Pack 46 is to get EVERY parent to take the Youth Protection training so that you all know how we deal with your children and why we do it that way.
Once you take Youth Protection, you can apply to be an Adult Volunteer and do other training, many of which are available online.
Cub Scout Pack 46 is located in Fayetteville, Arkansas and is currently one of the most active packs in the Razorback District.
Our monthly pack meetings are the 4th Monday of each month at 6:30pm at Grace Church, 2828 Crossover Road, Fayetteville.
We are chartered by Grace Church and are members of the Razorback District of the Westark Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
If you are interested in joining the scouting experience please contact Cubmaster Steven Jarvis at cubmaster@cubscoutspack46.org or call (479) 422-2662.
