Webelos Enjoy 100th Birthday Party Camporee
Cakes from three states, climbing walls, go kart races, rope bridges, wrist rockets, a tee-pee village, BB guns, archery and much more was available for our Webelos to enjoy at long peaks Council 100th anniversary of the BSA Camporee.

After the day’s activities we returned to our campsite to enjoy delicious tacos in a bag, along with some corn on the cob and grape salad. Then we headed over to the Estes Park Observatory to checkout Jupiter and the Moon as local astronomers brought out their telescopes and their knowledge of the stars to share with the scouts.

Welcome to the 2010-11 scouting year
Welcome back for another wonderful year of Cub Scouting. I bet you had a great time this summer and I can’t wait to hear all that you did and the things you learned about the great outdoors. I hope you are ready for a busy and fun time with cub scouts because we certainly have a lot planned.
Your Den will be meeting over the next several weeks and our first pack meeting is Wednesday, September 15 starting at 6:15 PM at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church. Let your friends know and be sure to be on time because we will have a lot of gathering activities that are sure to be a lot of fun.
Webelos, be sure to get the latest information about the 100th Anniversary Camporee in Estes Park the 25th and 26th of September and joining troop 377 and the Air Force falcons football game against navy October 1st to 3rd. Both will be a lot of fun and you should try to join us.
I look foward to seeing all of you in a few weeks. If you know of any first graders who want to join the pack or learn more about scouting be sure to let them know that we have our introductory meeting on Thursday, September 2 at 4:00 PM to talk about cub scouting. We will meet at the church.

Cub Scout Day Camp 2010
Filed under: Den 2, Den 5, Indian Peaks District, Pack 377 News
Thanks to Popcorn Kernal Tim, Day Camp was another roaring success. Pack 377 was there with Webelos and Tigers. From soaring hawks to bomb robots, the kids experienced two fun packed days of fun and scouting adventure.
Here are some of the things scouts could complete during camp.
Walden Pond Project
Filed under: Den 1, Den 2, Den 3, Den 4, Den 5, Pack 377 News
On May 22nd, a dozen Pack 377 volunteers protected dozens of native cottonwood trees along the shores of Bass Pond in the Walden Ponds Wildlife Habitat. Over 150 feet of wire was put in place to keep the local beavers from taking these shoreline trees which provide relief from the summer sun to the southern shore of the pond. Each scout earned their SOAR patch for 2010 and helped the pack work toward completing our Centennial Operation OSPREY project.
In addition to protecting the trees, the group learned a lot about the lakes and the animals that live here and around the Boulder area. The kids were also able to handle a number of animal pelts, antlers and skulls.
We will be returning to Walden to complete our Operation OSPREY Project later this year. Stay tuned and you may be able to earn your SOAR Patch while having a great time helping preserve our local park.
