Please note that we have some opportunities and are in need of volunteers to step up into new roles. Key among them is a new Grubmaster for our spring campout at Tar Hollow, a couple of leaders to run an activity stations at Tar Hollow and a Red Cross Coordinator to help coordinate Pack sponsored blood drives. Please contact Mark Ritchie if you can volunteer your time for any of these.

If you are a certified BSA rangemaster for BB and Archery, your assistance is needed for Ohio Valley, Cub Scout Day Camp, June 11-15, 2012 at Deer Creek. Please contact Mark Ritchie if you can volunteer some of your time to run the ranges with the assistance of Boy Scout volunteers. A half day, a full day, a few days or all week... any and all assistance is appreciated.

Our Grove City Urban Forester is posting a sign at this Canadian Hemlock planted in Gantz Park Arboretum with the following sentiment. "On behalf of Southeast Conservation Club - Pack 136". A nice location was selected for this tree at the bridge on the outer walking trail. Pack 136 has committed to donate a tree in the community whenever we use the SECC property. We'll continue to expand the Gantz Arboretum collection within our means.

This Redbud was placed at Chapel Hill Baptist Church on Grove City Road to replace a tree that died near their front door. We planted this tree in appreciation for the use of their property during our July Pack meeting.
