The girls of Pack 421 had a very special pinning ceremony before the start of summer. We had one young lady go from Lion Rank to Tiger Rank and six young ladies go from Bear Rank to Webelos.

To be able to advance, the girls must have completed an allotted number of activities in their Scouting books. They completed those tasks at our meetings and at home on their own time. Many of these activities are meant to act as life lessons to help them navigate the changing world we live in with confidence, respect, and understanding.

Each girl had her face painted by their parent to represent the rank that she was rising to and then returned the favor by painting their parents face. The girls thought that was super fun!

They then walked across the make shift bridge to symbolize the crossing over to a new rank and a new year.

The girls received updated badges and neckerchief’s along with new uniforms depending on the change in rank.

Congrats ladies for achieving your new station!! We look forward to being a part of your future accomplishments as a Cub Scout in Pack 421!

Last week, Pack 421 visited Dr. Crawford, a local veterinarian at Americus Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Crawford told us of all of the amazing things they do to keep our furry family members healthy and happy! The girls got a tour of the office, appointment rooms, & kennels. They even got to see real X-rays of dogs and a jar of kidney stones! Afterwards, they got to enjoy a sweet treat at Dairy Queen. Just in time for memorial Day weekend and the end of the school year!

The girls worked on their Critter Care Project last meeting! They designed their posters with instructions on how to care for their own pet or one they would like to have. They then presented their posters and took questions. Afterwards, they played games in the yard and ended the night with a snack.

Some of the instructions included how often and what to feed your pet, where your pet should sleep and the all important issue of what to do with pet droppings!

Pack 421 had a very special week as we were able to join Americus Junior Service League in spreading some happiness at Magnolia Manor.
JSL chartered Pack 421 and it is always exciting to serve our community together. We shared ice cream with the residents of the assisted living facility and then we planted some beautiful flowers! Everyone was super excited and happy!

The Pack had such a great time last night at our meeting!! The girls had a building project where they handled tools for the first time and in the end built a tool/art box!

They learned how to use a saw to cut the pieces of wood to the right size, a hammer to hammer in the nails to connect the pieces of wood, measuring tape to keep their measurements exact, a speed square to perfect those measurements and a hand drill and screw to screw the handle in.

This lesson helped them learn that the proper tools can help accomplish most tasks and projects that may seem out of our reach are actually doable with a little teaching and perseverance. The girls were all smiles at the end of the meeting and cannot wait to put their new boxes to good use!!

Pack 421 is back from summer break and we started off the new year with a BANG! We are so EXCITED to announce that 9 new girls have joined the Pack!!!!
The Pack played multiple get to know you games and team building exercises. We asked the girls what they most were looking forward to in Scouts and the big ones were playing games, camping and grilling hot dogs 🌭🏕
Afterwards they all enjoyed a snack and drink before heading home where we are sure everyone slept like logs! 😴

Our girls had a great time selling yummy baked goods at First Friday!

Krispy Kreme’s doughnut machine broke down yesterday but our girls were able to switch up their plans and sell individual cupcakes, brownies and chocolate chip cookies instead. We also had lemonade made with bottled water and ice from Lee County to ensure the safety of our customers.

The girls were responsible for promoting and selling the baked goods. They learned basic safety food serving skills and were in charge of totaling up orders and handling the money. In the end we sold every single item we brought!! The girls were very excited and kept on asking how much we made. These funds will go towards future scouting activities such as camping and badge requirements projects and activities.

Even with the doughnut issues and the windy and rainy weather, our girls had a successful and fun time while gaining entrepreneurial skills!

We are still planning on selling boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the future so keep your eyes open for that announcement!

Come see us in front of the Visitor Center this First Friday as we sell Krispy Kreme doughnuts and lemonade!
