The guided tour is half the day and then we値l have free time to explore the rest of the day and then return to the campground, which has several activities there to do also (pool, game room, etc.).

On Sunday, June 23 we値l check out of the campground, and go visit Jamestown. They have several free activities to do around Jamestown historical village. After that folks are welcome to head home or extend their visit into the week. There are several other activities that families can go do such as Busch Gardens Amusement Park, Water Country, Virginia Beach or Yorktown.

Once again this year Pack 136 will be helping to Keep Grove City Beautiful. We have adopted the portion of Southwest Blvd. from Broadway to Richard Ave. Trash bags, pick up sticks, gloves and safety vests are in the scout closet. If additional supplies are needed contact Matt Beal. Here are the den assignments:

Do you and your Scouts love all the unique opportunities and activities you have had with Pack 136? We could not provide these opportunities without volunteer Scout leaders. Your Scout leaders dedicate their time to creating a successful Scout program. If you have considered joining us in helping Pack 136 go, now is the time! As we say goodbye to some of our leaders this summer, we would love to see a seamless transition into a great 2013-2014 Scout program. Let痴 all work together to make Pack 136 great! If interested in volunteering or helping please contact either the Cubmaster or your den leader.

Do you shop at GFS? Help the pack earn money to help the pack go. The pack does all of its Pack Campout Food Shopping at GFS and we participate in their rebate program. Every time you shop at GFS tell the cashier that you are part of Cub Scout Pack 136 and the pack gets rebate money sent to the pack. The pack uses this money for the many activities we do during the year.

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.
