While some details will still need to be determined, and COVID considerations will always be followed (so mask up, keep your distance, and feel free to stay home and attend only those events that you're comfortable with), check out what events are available for Pack 631 families in 2022 -- so far: 

• January 29 and/or February 5:  Pinewood Derby Car Cutting Mornings
• February 12: Pinewood Derby Race!
• April 8 - 10:  Spring Campout at Woodruff Scout Camp near Blue Ridge!
  
• April 29:  "Blue and Gold" Awards Banquet

On those Pack events, show you want to go by clicking on the event link above (or in Event Registration to the right), pick your Scout's name, click "attending" by family members who might attend, and let people know you want to go!  If your plans change and you can't go, email webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us and we'll adjust the list.

Both the Fourth Grade Den parent volunteers and the Second Grade Den parent volunteers have posted Den Activity Dates and information on the Calendar -- we'll update for the other dens as the parent volunteers plan any activities.  Just email webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us and we'll get you on the calendar.

Scout On!

See the new photos at our photo site!  Or look at old ones there too.

Wanna do a hike to places like in the Announcement below or somewhere else or else just connect with other families in your Grade/Den level?  To email everyone in the Den, you can use the emails below.  So, send messages to everyone (like "hey, who wants to do a walk this Saturday at ___ _.m. at ___?") to these emails: 

• to reach all parents of Kindergarten or Lion Cub Scouts, send to den11@atlanta631.mypack.us 

• to reach all parents of First Grade or Tiger Cub Scouts, send to den14@atlanta631.mypack.us, 

• to reach all parents of Second Grade or Wolf Cub Scouts, send to den17@atlanta631.mypack.us
  

• to reach all parents of Third Grade or Bear Cub Scouts, send to den2@atlanta631.mypack.us  

• to reach all parents of Fourth Grade or Webelos Scouts, send to den5@atlanta631.mypack.us

• to reach all parents of Fifth Grade or Arrow of Light Scouts, send to den8@atlanta631.mypack.us

These emails work only if you are sending from an email that is in the Pack Roster, so if you want to send from, say, a work email or alternate to what's in the Pack Roster, email webmaster@atlanta631.mypack.us and we'll add your alternate email in (FYI, that "must be in the website roster" rule is what keeps spammers from sending to the website emails).

Our Den Adventure Plan pages are below, with more Rank by Rank (grade by grade) pages more tailored to the Pack 631 experience of using Streamlined and Family Led Adventure plans.  Each and every Rank (grade) page has simpler Family-Led Plans all of the Adventures plus tips, videos and other resources about how to deliver those Adventure Plans this Winter and Spring with more fun in ways easier for parent leaders -- also super useful if/when you want to either "catch up" or do Adventures at home (spoiler alert: you can with those family led plans).  Tiger, Wolf, Bear and Webelos also have parent-lead "Streamlined" Adventure Plans for Required Adventures likely done as a Den.  See your page and find your fun -- because Every Parent Leads in Pack 631!

• Kindergarten Lion Adventure Plans page for parents to help you lead your Scouts.  

• 1st Grade Tiger Adventure Plans page for parents to help you lead your Scouts.  

• 2nd Grade Wolf Adventure Plans page for parents to help you lead your Scouts. 

• 3rd Grade Bear Adventure Plans page for parents to help you lead your Scouts. 

• 4th Grade Webelos Adventure Plans page for parents to help you lead your Scouts. 

• 5th Grade Arrow of Light Adventure Plans page for parents to help you lead your Scouts.    

We've also got a set of Bobcat and First Meeting Adventure Plans as part of a resource page called Getting Started Tips: Plans for First Meetings + Bobcat, so that you can get your Den off to a good start with some fun bonding.   

In addition to working out a schedule of final Fifth Grade Cub Scout activities at the Zoom meeting this Saturday at 10:00 am, where you will coordinate on completion of Arrow of Light Adventures, keep an eye on the Troop 631 Calendar of Activities (login just like the Pack login), because at some point in the next few months it will be time to "cross over" into a Scouts BSA Troop.  Troop 631 has just put up a number of activities over the coming months, and is open to participation with Fifth Grade Scouts, especially as anyone needs to finish up Arrow of Light Adventures.

Why Not Take a Walk?  Work off that Fruitcake!  Scouts and Scouting Families of all ages can benefit from a New Year's Day tradition: a First Day Hike.  Yes, originated as a "state park" program, but you don't need no Ranger to guide you on your First Day Hike -- you have Scouts!  You can find your way!  And you don't have to only go on New Year's Day -- walks and hikes are good for your Den Family + Friends anytime before, during, and after the holidays.  Want a list of places to go?  How about: 

1. Reynolds Nature Preserve (Clayton County)
2. Cochran Mill Park (South Fulton County) 
3. Connally Nature Park (East Point)
4. Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve (DeKalb County / Scott Boulevard)
5. Wolf Creek Trail  (South Fulton County)
6. Mason Mill Park Trails (DeKalb County, off Clairmont Road, near Emory)
7. Westside Reservoir Park (Westside Atlanta, )
8. Cascade Springs Nature Preserve (South Atlanta) 
9. Dolls Head Trail / Constitution Lakes Park (South DeKalb)
10. Southside Trail of the Atlanta Beltline (South Atlanta)
11. Phoenix Trail  (near the Airport)
12. Newman Wetlands Center (Clayton County)

So there's twelve places to walk for the 12 days of Christmas, and dozens of other destinations are on this Local Parks, Trails, Bike Trails page, and even more destinations at our Activity Ideas page.  So Find Fun + Family + Friends on a First Day Hike!
