This weekend October 3rd 3-5 PM is our first ever bike-a-thon! Signup on the pack web site! Details on the event are there. Class B's and "Scouting at Home Patches" will be available. Masks required. Class A's or B's recommended to show off our Pack spirit! Great for new families to come out. Can't ride yet? No problem, hike it, or scooter it!  

• Pack meeting canceled this week. Den leaders will distribute any awards and patches over the next couple weeks. Next pack meeting scheduled for Oct 27th. 
• Saturday 10/3 is a Pack bike-a-thon on the West B&A trail. This event replaces our fall festival this year. Please sign up on the pack web site if you plan to attend and for details. Scooters welcome too!
• On Sunday 9/20, rain gutter regatta was held. Congratulations to Liam Quinlan (AOL) and Gavin Rill (Bear) for best in rank!
• AOL scouts should begin engaging with local Scouts BSA troops. Contact a Cubmaster or AOL Den leader for information. 
• Recruiting efforts are ongoing. New scout and families are welcome to try us out at a den or pack event through October. 
• Pack and BSA fees are due to the Treasurer by Oct 30 for rechartering. The cost for renewal (this year only) is $127. This includes cost increases for BSA membership and insurance. It does not include funding any pack events like blue and gold and pinewood, for some COVID-19 relief. Costs for any events will be determined and assessed during event planning.
• Pack 127 logo gear is available! Come to an event or pack meeting to purchase.
• Keep checking the Pack calendar for event date changes and instructions!

Some changes to the pack schedule are now posted to the web site:

• Please sign up for raingutter regatta/open house this weekend on Sunday 9/20! Build a new boat from the scout shop, come with last years boat (what the Mishaga's usually do), or come with no boat for ice cream and cheer on the racers. Bring your new families and friends! 
• Rocket Derby was removed. Unfortunately we could not find adequate space. Next opportunity would be on the Fall campout up at Broadcreek. Contact Chris Mishaga or Brian Quinlan if you just want to launch as a Den up at GORC or other nearby field and need supplies. 
• Pack meeting on 9/22 is hereby cancelled. Any awards and patches will be distributed via Dens.
• Fall fest this year is cancelled due to COVID restrictions on group size and food. However, on Oct 3rd, WB&A trail Bike-a-thon is on! See the event and sign up on the web site! 
• Woodsmoke was cancelled by 4R District this year due to COVID. But that same weekend is Jamboree on the Air and Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI/JOTA) https://www.jotajoti.info/ Group Name Pack 127 Gambrills. All registered scouts can participate in Jamboree on the Internet, with the Pack condition they have earned a recent Cyber Chip. Chat and interact with other scouts around the world, play Minecraft and other games with thousands of scouts in a safe online environment. I think we may wind up permanently adding this one to the pack calendar, it sounds really cool!  

Den meetings restart this week for the Fall. Please check with your Den Leaders on format (Virtual or In-Person Socially Distant) and location. 

Recruiting drive! Our annual recruiting drive is underway. Scouts who sign up a friend earn the coveted recruiter strip.
