Welcome to New Scouts and New Families!

The recent Scout Night at Ellsworth Hill was a success. We met a lot of nice parents and young men, talked to them about the benefits of Scouting, and signed up many new Cub Scouts. To all the new Scouts and their families, welcome. We invite you to our New Family Orientation on Wednesday, September 7 at 7:00 at Christ Church Episcopal in downtown Hudson. In the meantime, feel free to visit our webpage dedicated to new families.

If you haven't signed up and are interested in joining, it is not too late. You can also come to Wednesday's event and learn about Scouting and our Pack. You can sign up then. If you have any questions, please email Jason Katz at cubmaster3322@gmail.com.

August Pack Meeting Bike Aboard

On Sunday August 28th at 1:00 we will have our initial Pack meeting at Veterans Way Park (55 Veterans Way, Hudson). At the meeting we will discuss the upcoming Pack calendar and will have all the information and paperwork needed for this year's popcorn drive. After the relatively short meeting, those that want to can get in their respective vehicles (loaded with bicycles, water, and helmets) and travel to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad Train station at the Indigo Lake Trailhead - 4300 Riverview Road, Peninsula, OH. Once there, we will load our bikes onto a CVSR train (for $3 a person) and participate in the CVSR's Bike Aboard. We will catch the 3:15 train northbound and get off at the Peninsula stop. We will then bike the 4.0 miles back to Indigo Lake stop. It is a beautiful path, crossing marshes and wetlands while following the Ohio and Erie Canal Trail. While biking back (about 3 miles into the 4-mile ride), everyone is invited to stop for snacks and refreshments (roasted sweet corn, soft-serve ice cream, fresh fruit) at Szalay's Farm & Market.

As with all Cub Scout functions, Scouts should be accompanied by a parent or other adult. Scouts should wear their Class Bs.

Siblings are invited to join in the fun.

All participants (Scout, parent, sibling, etc.) should have submitted medical forms, which you can submit at the Pack meeting or before we board the train.

Please see the recent email for a map of the Indigo Lake / Szalay's area for your convenience. Please email me if you didn't get a copy. The map shows the parking lot for Indigo Lake, which is very close to the train station from which we will board the train. If that lot is full, there is a Towpath parking lot just east of Szalay's (4563 Riverview Road, Peninsula, Ohio 44264), which is also on the attached map. Simply park in that lot, and bike the .9 miles on the towpath south towards Indigo Lake. If you park there, on the bike ride back, you can get right in your car right after Szalay's.
