Every year the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts work together for their Scouting for Food drive in order to support the Westborough Food Pantry. This year, more than ever, many families are relying on the food pantry to help them get by. Our boys were proud to collect bags on November 14th to help with the effort. 

The volunteers of Pack 33 really pulled off a great camping trip, amid a unique world situation. They made sure we were able to social distance while hiking, orienteering, tying knots, playing human foosball, eating around the campfire and star gazing.  Scouts is a wonderful time and these boys are making tons of memories!

We did a 2-for-the-price-of-1 this month!  Combined out November Pack Meeting with an awesome hike in Upton State Forest. Everyone had a great time being together, outdoors, and of course, safely. 

Pack 33 had our annual Freeze Out camping at the Nobscot Scout Reservation in Sudbury on the weekend of Jan 25 - 26. We met around 11am, did an opening flag ceremony and then cooked and ate lunch. Afterwards, the pack went on a hike and then worked on a rustic frame project when they returned to Henderson Lodge. The scouts had some time to run around and check out the site while the Webelos helped prepare dinner which was pasta and Jambalaya in a cast iron Ductch oven, prepared on a fire. Because of weather, the fire program took place indoors that night with skits, songs and a story by Mr. Clegg. The Scouts made orange cakes (baked a cake in a hallowed out orange) and then a few headed off to Webelos Woods rustic cabin (no heat, water or bathroom). One hardy scout slept in a tent!  We hope you enjoy the pictures from the weekend and look forward to seeing you all again for our freeze out next year! 

Webelos 2 had a fun January meeting working on their outdoor survival skills, which included starting fire with flint and steel.
