Notices from the pack.

Here's your friendly reminder about this week's Pack Meeting:

Pack Meeting
Thursday, Oct. 1
6:45 - 7:45
Caraway Cafeteria

This is our big Popcorn Fundraiser Kickoff! (We're already off to an amazing start with more than $3,500 of a $15,000 goal sold last weekend!!!)

We'll have a fun popcorn activity for the kids and lots of helpful details for the adults.

Don't worry if your Scout has never sold popcorn before or need a refresher. You'll leave the meeting ready to pop to it! Our Kernels have made it so easy!!!

As always, we encourage Scouts to look sharp in their class As (especially if the den wants to win the Best Dressed award), but we're okay with Class Bs too.

Remember: If Scouts wear their Class Bs to school that Thursday, they'll get an extra raffle ticket.

Pack 162 is headed to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area for our Fall Campout, October 9–11, 2026!

This one is a little farther from home, but with the kids out of school that Friday and Monday, we’re hoping it makes for a fun long-weekend adventure for families.

We’ll kick things off at 9:00 AM on Saturday, October 9.

Registration is now open, so please sign up as soon as you know you’ll be joining us. This helps us plan campsites, meals, and activities.

More details about meals, activities, campsite assignments, and what to bring will be shared as we get closer.

We hope to see you at Enchanted Rock!

Come be part of the adventure!

Bring a friend for Join Scouting Night on Wednesday, September 2, in the Caraway Cafeteria from 6:30–7:30 PM. Families are welcome to drop in any time during the event!

This is a fantastic chance to learn more about what Scouting is all about and to welcome new members into our Pack.

We encourage all current Scouts to invite their friends - sharing Scouting is part of the fun!

Any Scout who brings a friend who joins the Pack will earn a special "Recruiter" strip for their uniform.

We're having a Pack Pizza Party to celebrate busting through our Popcorn goal of selling $15,000 worth of popcorn! Way to go!!!

It's also Cubmaster Braun's last Pack meeting so we'll wish him a very fond farewell and welcome our new Cubmaster!!!

I'm sure there will be some music making. Mr. Braun might even bring his big bass to play for us one last time!

Hi Pack Families,

We are excited to announce that we’re going to SeaWorld in San Antonio for a sleepover on Saturday, January 31!

Check-in begins at 5:00 PM.

Click here to get to the registration page.

Typically, this event would cost us $95 per person, but because we sold so much popcorn, all Scouts are covered for this trip, and there is even a discount for those accompanying them.

We are so proud of our Scouts and all their hard work selling popcorn—this is going to be an amazing adventure! Keep an eye out for an email with more information.

Join us for our November Pack Meeting!

We'll work on a special service project as a Pack, putting together care packages for Caritas of Austin.

Wear your Class A or Class B to school on Thursday for an extra raffle ticket.
