Welcome to scouting for 2020-2021. This year is going to be quite a bit different from previous years, but we have a lot of fun and exciting events planned!

 

Our first virtual pack meeting is August 21 from 7:00 – 7:30. The scouts will do a kahoot quiz with questions created by each of the dens.

 

On September 5 we will have a backyard campout. Pitch a tent in your back yard (or just make a tent in your living room), make some s’mores, and join the campfire program from 7:30 – 8:30.

 

All the events have been entered in the uptous calendar and on www.pack501scouts.com.

 

Please join Pack 501 at the Los Altos United Methodist Church at 10:00 am for a fun couple hours of the pushcart derby.  You will have teams of scouts pushing and driving hand-crafted push carts across the parking lot.

Due to school holidays, we are moving the April pack meeting to the 23rd at Grant Park.  There will be a fun outdoor activity, so please come and enjoy.

Please join for the Pinewood Derby at Springer Elementary on Saturday, January 26th at 2:15 pm.  We will have prizes for various categories of cars and performance in the derby.  Top cars may move forward to district races as well!

Please review the updated pack calendar and adjust your schedules accordingly.  Also, if you haven't done so, please sign up and subscribe to uptous.com which will give you additional reminders of these events.

Welcome to scouting for 2018-2019.  We are pleased to see all of our returning scouts and new scouts joining.  Please refer your friends and classmates to this amazing program - both boys and girls welcomed.

The June fire circle meeting has been re-scheduled to Wednesday, June 6th at 7:00 pm.

We have scheduled our annual water bottle rocket launch and ice cream social event.  It will be Saturday, May 5th starting at 3 pm.  We will start the event by conducting the "diet coke and mentos" challenge which will give us nice empty bottles with which to build our new rockets for the launch challenge.

Come enjoy time with the pack and watch the scouts advance in rank.  It will be at Grant Park in the main auditorium starting at 6:15 pm.

We are getting excited about the upcoming Pinewood Derby for Pack 501 which will be Saturday, January 27th at 3:00 pm at Springer Elementary School.  Please come for "build days" on January 6th and/or January 20th at Grant Park where you can help build your scout's car with tools shared by other Pack 501 parents.  It will be fun to teach the kids to use tools responsibly and have them prepare for the awesome race near the end of the month!
