Don’t hesitate to send any of the leaders an email if you have questions about Day Camp.

Friday, June 21st is our second annual Family and Friends Picnic and Kickball Extravaganza. This will run from 6 – 9 pm at the Richfield Woods Pavilion. We want all scouts to bring their families and friends. This event has two purposes: 1. To thank all of the scouting families for a great year and 2. To introduce non-scouting families to Cub Scouts and Pack 3387. We encourage each scout to invite a friend/classmate and his family. This would be a great no pressure situation for them to meet some of the scouts, akelas and leaders. In addition, please reach out to any friends and neighbors that have a current kindergartner. These boys will be Tigers in the fall and this is a fun way to introduce them to Cub Scouts.

We will be marching in the Richfield Memorial Day Parade on May 27th. Meet at 9:30am Monday morning at the Richfield Historical Society that is directly across from the Richfield Post Office. We suggest bringing a water bottle that can be carried and wear your full “class A” uniform, including neckerchief and hat. We’ll be done around 11a.m. or so. For those of you that haven’t marched before, we go from the traffic light at 303/Broadview to the West Richfield cemetery. There is also parking at the Richfield library or some places along the parade route. After the ceremony please let a leader know if you son is leaving from the cemetery. Otherwise we will march back to where we started.

Just like the flag placing, we hope to have a great turnout!!!!

I just wanted to thank everyone who was able to come and place the flags on the Veterans Graves.

It was a great turnout and I am, as always, so proud of our scouts.  They were reverent and respectful.

Wes Weir will be sending out an email regarding the Memorial Day Parade.  So, put it on your calendar.

Our Pack will place American Flags at the gravesites of Veterans in advance of Memorial Day.

When: 8:30AM Saturday May 18th
Where: Fairview Cemetery (to start) 3990 Brecksville Road
Attire: Please wear the formal Class A uniform

We will start at 8:30 with a discussion of what Memorial Day is, what these Veterans did and why we are doing this. After completing the flags at Fairview Cemetery, we will move to West Richfield Cemetery, 4219 Broadview Rd.

Some people have Soccer starting at 10, for those Cub Scouts, please feel free to dress them in their soccer shorts, shinguards and socks in order to make your morning a little less stressful. I plan on putting the Class A uniform over Ryan’s jersey.

We will have our Pack 3387 Spring Campout this weekend at Camp Manatoc. Please arrive at 1PM on Saturday April 13th… eat lunch before arriving, or bring a sack lunch with you. The Pack will purchase food for dinner, late night snack, and cold breakfast. There will be a charge of $10 per Scout to defray the cost of the food and cabin rental. Please RSVP to your Den Leader so that we can get approximate headcount for food purchases.

We have reserved the Legion Lodge cabin, which sleeps 20. We expect more people than that, so we encourage you to bring a tent as well if you have one (I know several from the Tiger and Wolf dens are planning to stay in tents outside the cabin). We expect sunshine on Saturday, but please be prepared for cold weather camping, because we expect it to get into the low 30 degrees Saturday night. You can use this checklist as a guide:

Pack Campfire: We we have a Pack Campfire from 7-9PM on Saturday night. Even if you do not plan to participate in the campout, we encourage you to come out to the Legion Lodge on Saturday night for the the campfire, as this will serve as our April Pack meeting.

We plan to wrap up at 11AM on Sunday. We will need everyone’s help to clean the cabin and camp sites before departure inspection.

Just a reminder that we will be indoor rock climbing at Kendall Cliffs Friday March 15 from 5-7pm (if you come at 6 you will still be able to enjoy climbing)

This year, due to your generosity and good pack planning, there will be no charge for scouts to climb! Siblings will be $10

Please RSVP as soon as possible.
