Thank you for coming out to Ed’s Speed Shop on Saturday January 11! The weather was messy (per speed shop tradition), but it takes more than that to deter our pinewood derby car designers. And besides, there is nothing like hot chocolate and donuts when the weather is bad. It looks like we are going […]

December pack meeting
The final Pack 3000 pack meeting of 2019 was one to remember! The pack met its popcorn fundraising goal (and then some) and earned a pizza and ice cream party. Not only that, but 13 (!!!) of our cub scouts raised enough money to earn the very special privilege of throwing a pie in the […]
Den 4 December meeting
At our December 8th meeting, our scouts learned all about safe and responsible use of pocket knives! They completed the “bear claws” requirement (combining parts of 3a and 3b by whittling soap and practicing opening letters) and also fulfilled the requirements to earn a “whittling chip”, which gives them the privilege of using pocket knives […]
Den 4 November meeting
Our scouts gathered at Autrey Mill’s Scout Day on November 16 to complete the “Fur, Feather, and Ferns” requirement. We had a great time, and the volunteers there did a wonderful job setting up stations for the scouts to complete their adventure requirements. Highlights included observing snakes and turtles in their visitor’s center, looking for […]
Den 4 at the Pack 3000 fall field trip
Den 4 had a great time on the Pack 3000 fall field trip. As one of the bigger dens, we got our very own (and very patient) tour guide for most of the night. Some of our favorite creatures were the sting rays and jellyfish. The scout leaders are also very pleased to report that […]
October pack meeting
The theme for this month’s pack meeting was “kind”. It was also an extra spooky pack meeting as the scouts raced spiders, tried to guess what was in buckets of “eyeballs”, “spider legs”, and “worms”, and “bats”, and designed their own skeletons.
2019 Fall Field Trip
Pack 3000 had a great overnight trip to the Tennessee Aquarium on Saturday, October 26. We saw an IMAX movie about rescue dogs, toured the aquarium, learned about, watched, and touched all sorts of animals (including a rather messy legless lizard), saw what happens “behind the scenes” at night, ate pizza, and last but not […]
Den 4 October meeting
Den 4 met in downtown Alpharetta for their October meeting to work on requirements 1. (learn about the flag, the pledge of allegiance, and display a flag at home for a month) and 2.B. (visit historical sites in your community). We brought a *lot* of energy to Alpharetta today! You can pick up a walking […]
Bear Scout day at Tellus Science Museum
Some of our Pack 3000 Den 4 Scouts joined other Bear Scouts for a day of science at Tellus on Saturday October 5. They visited the planetarium, learned about astronomy, and did all sorts of experiments with static electricity, color, buoyancy, and constellations along the way to completing the “Out of this World” NOVA award […]
Den 4 September (fall campout) meeting
Thank you Den 4 for joining us for another awesome campout! Our den set up, organized, and led the other scouts in the pack through “carnival” games during the pack activity time. During our den time we talked about our favorite parts of the games, and what worked well and what didn’t. We also made […]
Den 4 September meeting
We held our first den meeting of the year on September 8, 2019! The adventure for this camp was “Bear Necessities”, so we learned all about how to prepare for camping. Required components completed (the last is optional): 2. Make a list of items you should take along on the activity selected in Requirement 1. […]
2019 Orientation and Sign Up
Thank you to all the new families for joining us at the orientation and sign up night! Our newest scouts had a great time with styrofoam rockets, popsicle stick bombs, and learning all about the great activities in store in Pack 3000.
August Pack Meeting
It was great to have everyone back together for our first pack meeting of the year, with a theme of being “friendly”! It was a busy pack meeting: the scouts earned advancements for their summer activities, learned about this year’s popcorn fundraiser, and kept active with popcorn relay racing, cornhole, and word puzzles. Check with […]
BFES Sneak Peek
Thanks for stopping by to visit us at the Birmingham Falls Elementary School Sneak Peek event! We would also like to thank BFES and principal Don Webb for allowing us to set up a table so that we can spread the word about scouting in the Milton community. We look forward to welcoming new recruits […]
Movie night
Pack 3000’s July summer activity was watching a movie on the lawn at the BUMC scout compound. The scouts had a great time playing soccer and exploring before we settled for a movie and popcorn. Thank goodness we got a break from the July rain!
Den 4 July summer activity: fishing!
Den 4 had a fun morning of fishing at Dupree Park in Woodstock on July 13. Great weather, friendly ducks, curious turtles, and even yes, a few fish.
