Westport Scout Pack 100

Pack 100
May 2009
“Leave Nothing But Footprints”

Welcome everyone to Pack 100’s final Pack Meeting of 2009. As part of earning the World Conservation Award, the pack conducted 2 clean up projects – the Bicentennial Park and the Westport Nub. The Tiger and Wolf Cubs cleaned the Bicentennial Park and the Bears, Web 1’s and Web 2’s cleaned the Nubble at the mouth of the Westport River. It was a great success and the boys should be proud of their efforts. The wolves prepared a poster exhibiting the clean up projects, which is on display in the lobby. In May, we have some fun and patriotic outdoor activities.
