We had a lot of fun at our Pinewood Derby this past Saturday. Once again, our cub scouts showed their creativity and put their imagination to good use with Coca Cola bottle car, billiard table car, some military vehicles and other beautiful creations. Congratulations to the trophy and medal winners. To everybody else, it was a lot of fun and we will all try to do even better next year.

Pack 19 visited the Landsford Canal Park yesterday.

Stretched along the Catawba River along the South Carolina fall line, the park is home to the well-preserved remains of the canal system that made the river commercially navigable from 1820 to 1835. Locks, a mill site and the lockkeeper’s home are among the numerous intact structures from that era.

The weather held up nicely. We learned about GPS and coordinated and found 4 geo-caches.

We had a lot of fun riding the Four Mile Creek AND the McMullen Creek Greenways this past Saturday. Yes, it was hot, but the trails were well covered by trees which made it much cooler than if in the sun. Congratulations to the one courageous scout who completed the full 12 miles (6 both ways) and did not complain. It was a blast. We hope to have a bigger croud next time.

We had a lot of fun at our 2010 Pinewood Derby today. There were 47 cars in competition. A lot of new ideas this year from Titanic to Spaceships, Fire Truck to Guitars and many other great work from the cub scouts and their parents. We could see that a lot of work went into building the cars. Congratulations to the winners in each bracket, to the Red Sox truck, winner of the overall competion, and to the Wii remote for the Best in Show!

Pack 19 had a great time at the Waxhaw Christmas Parade on Sunday December 13, 2009. We handed out more than 50 pounds of candies. Thanks to everybody who braved the elements and joined the parade.

We had a lot of fun at the Gold Rush Campout on October 23rd-25th. A fun packed event with tons of activities including our now famous rope making and… yes… a little bit of rain.

On November 1, the Bear Den took a trip to Sports Connection in Ballantyne and earned their Bowling belt loops!

They were joined by parents and siblings, and everyone had a wonderful time!
