Our next Pack Meeting is on Veteran's Day, and our theme is Citizenship.

Saturday, November 8, 2025, | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Circuit of the Americas, 9201 Circuit of the Americas Blvd, Del Valle, TX 78617

Saturday, Oct 25, 2025 was the Fall Camp out for our Pack 201,  Regardless of the rain possibilities, our kids and parents rallied for the camp out.  Must admit I was there for Crafts, 1-4.  I loved how the kids rotated in to make 'Gods Eyes' mystical treasures, bracelets and kerchief slides.  Other activities were fishing, or climbing the hill and making forts ( A pack favorite activity) . Since I was a Saturday person, I don't know how the evening rains affected the Adventure. I know hamburgers, hotdogs and smores were part of the evening.  Hope to See you on the next Camp Out!  Teri Shamlian

What's Happening at Camp?

We have a wonderful weekend planned (full itinerary), including:

• A Fantastic Group Meal:  Come hungry! We're planning a delicious chili bar, mac and cheese, cornbread, and cobbler for dessert.

• Outdoor Activities:  Fun, rank-appropriate activities for all Scouts.

• Campfire Fun:  Fire permitting, we'll gather around a fire for songs, stories, and of course, s'mores!

Calling All Parents: Share Your Skills!

We're thrilled to see what unique skills and passions our Pack 201 parents have! Sharing your knowledge makes the campout unforgettable. If you have an activity you're willing to lead, just message Matthew Haneman!

The Easiest Option: Lead an Elective!

Check out the site for elective belt loops. If you see a skill or topic you know and love, and want to help the boys earn a loop—fantastic! We'll give you the space and time to make it happen.

Water Activity Ideas (Leaders Needed!):

Since we're near the water, here are two activity ideas if we can find parents willing to take the lead and responsibility:

• Aquatic Fun: I have stand-up paddle boards. If you have canoes or kayaks you'd bring, we could set up a session! (We always need adult supervision for any water time.)

• Fishing: I'm not a fisherman! If anyone wants to teach the basics or has extra rods and reels to share with the Scouts, please let me know.

Important Note on Camping Logistics

We love camping, but these trips can be challenging logistically! While we are actively working to secure as many campsites as possible, we do have a limited number of spots available at this time.

• The registration form asks if your family is interested in camping overnight. Please answer this question accurately!

• If interest in camping exceeds our availability, we may need to hold a small raffle to determine which families can stay overnight. We will communicate this process clearly if it becomes necessary.

• Not camping? You are still welcome and encouraged to join us for the afternoon activities and the group dinner!

Join the Camping Committee!

We always seek help to make our outings the best they can be. If you love camping and want to help shape where we go, what we do, and how we execute these fun events in the future, please let me know or mention your interest on the registration form!

We can't wait to see you all on the 25th!

Upcoming Meeting: Honoring Our Veterans (November 11th)

Our next Pack meeting on Monday, November 11th, falls on Veterans Day.  We want to honor and recognize the men and women who have served our country.

We are looking for one or two service members (active duty or veterans, young or old) to come and share a brief account of their military experience with the Pack. This is a wonderful opportunity for our Scouts to learn about service and sacrifice.

Can you help us?

If you are a service member or know a veteran who would be excited to share their story with our excited Pack, please contact Matthew Haneman immediately. We would be thrilled to host them!

New this year, Pack 201 is giving Den Leaders a box of supplies for Den meetings.  A Starter Kit that will stay with the Den through the years.   It will include an American flag so Dens can have a flag ceremony for opening and closing, just like we do at Pack meetings.  Den Leaders will be able to customize to their needs and bring it to den meetings.  We Love our Leaders!

Get ready for some fast-paced action because Our Join scouting night and Rain Gutter Regatta is just around the corner on September 9th, and we need your help to make it a huge success! This is a fantastic event for our scouts, but it truly takes a village to pull it off. Please consider signing up to volunteer using our Sign-Up Genius link here Your support makes a huge difference!
