On Saturday October 14th, we will camp together at scenic French Creek State Park (https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/FrenchCreekStatePark/Pages/default.aspx)
This is a great opportunity to explore nature and have some fun outdoors. Hike the great wooded trails, play cooperative games with your fellow scouts, and go fishing at the one of the lakes.

The scouts have a history of good luck fishing on this trip, so be sure to bring your fishing pole! Children do not require fishing licenses; adults without licenses may only assist with casting.

Please contact Cubmaster Beam or RSVP below by 10/11/23 if you plan on attending.

All Pack 110 families are invited to attend our Fall Cabin Camping event. Our November 3rd location is at Camp Ware, which is the location of our Cub Scout Overnight Summer Camp every year. Come down to check out the shooting sport ranges (BB & archery), many hiking trails, back-country leave-no-trace campsites as well as qualified ranger staff. This offers the perfect opportunity to meet the camp-out requirement that is part of each rank in Cub Scouts.

We will be staying in the 2nd floor of Macaleer Lodge (the only two-story building in camp).

All campers (adults & children) MUST complete parts A & B of the BSA Health Form to attend.

Pack 110 is very excited for our first camping overnight of the scouting year at French Creek State Park! Once an industrial complex for the fledgling United States of America, today French Creek State Park is an oasis for people and wildlife. Straddling the Schuylkill Highlands, the 7,730-acre park is the largest block of contiguous forest between Washington D.C. and New York City. French Creek has more than 30 miles of trails for hiking and biking and 2 lakes for fishing and boating. It is beautiful!

We are limiting the number of spots for this trip to 15 families (~30 people total). Please only sign up registered scouts of Pack 110 and one parent/guardian per family unit. Register early so we have an accurate count of who will be there. Hope you can join us!

Pack 110 has been anxiously waiting for winter to break and to get back outdoors. We are very excited for our first camping trip of 2021 at KOA in West Chester. The KOA is a fun, close, and easy overnight trip which makes it a great trip for any first-time campers. We have tent sites right on the bank of the Brandywine Creek!

Unfortunately, due to the weather forecast, the rocket launch has been postponed (date TBD) and the campout cancelled. We will still be having the Final Pack Meeting & Awards Ceremony with a Pizza Party beforehand in place of the cookout.

If interested, please use the RSVP button below or email Dawn Kriebel (Committee Chair) at dkkriebel@nullgmail.com or Josh Comolli (Cubmaster) at josh@nullholycomolli.com and let them know which activities you will be attending:

  • Rocket Launch

Our cub scouts are currently building rockets that we expect will be launched several hundred feet into the air.  All of the rockets have streamers to ensure their safe return.  Please join us and your children can help us retrieve the rockets once they return to earth.

After the launch, we will move over the the BVA for a Pack cookout Pizza Party followed by our year-end graduation ceremony where the boys will receive any awards earned and their new neckerchiefs for the next scouting year. This is our last Pack Meeting of the year so you will not want to miss it.

Please feel free to join us for any or all of the day’s events.

Not a Cub Scout yet?

This is a great opportunity to come see what it’s all about. Bring your own rocket to launch or just come out to watch the show. Stay for dinner and s’mores!

Many families will also be camping out overnight. If interested, please bring your own tent. Please feel free to join us for all or only some of the activities.

Want to invite a friend?

This is a great opportunity for any family interested in learning more about Cub Scouts to come out and see what Pack 110 is all about. Please feel free to bring them along and send them our Rocket Launch Flyer for more information. Any scout that brings a friend will get a special prize!
