Congratulations to all our Pinewood Derby 2026 winners, and a massive thank you all our Pack Families for a fantastic event.

The tools are out and the excitement is high at tonight's Pack 109 meeting! Pinewood Derby Race Day is right around the corner, and our Scouts received their car kits tonight and are bringing their visions to life with the help of our Cubmaster, Den Leaders, and parents.

We'll be here again next Monday for Prep Night #2, and Race Day is on the 15th!

Our first Pinewood Derby prep night will take place at tomorrow night's pack meeting! Spend some time with your scout today discussing their design ideas, and come to the meeting ready to start bringing them to life.

Families, Cub Scout meeting tonight is cancelled due to the legion being closed. Going forward, if BCPS closes for weather, the legion does as well. Check your email tonight or early tomorrow for some important updates about the Pinewood Derby, Souting for Food, and other things.

An update from the MD Food Bank about the November donation period corresponding to our Food Drive. Thanks again to all Pack109 families and donors for helping during a time of severe need in our community, and if you have the means consider further donations and contributions during the holiday season.

When the government shutdown happened & uncertainty arose for our neighbors, Marylanders came to the table. Here's our impact on the shutdown

As we head into Thanksgiving, Pack 109 Leadership wants to once again thank the cubs and supporting parents of Pack 109 for their hard work and time supporting our November "Citizenship Month" Food Drive for the Maryland Food Bank.

As of Nov. 25th Pack 109 Cubs have collected $1500 in monetary donations for MD Food Bank, as well as ~$400-500 of food items that were directly donated to local Food Pantries. The Cubs who volunteered for our storefront tables at Green Valley Marketplace had lots of fun helping lots of people. Showing our kids the fulfillment that service can bring to their lives is one of the greatest joys of Scouting.

With 5 days left in November we're just $355 short of the Pack's fundraising goal of $1500 in direct monetary donations to MD Food Bank. Please keep spreading the word to support achieving that milestone, helping to feed families throughout our community this Thanksgiving.

Each den is working hard tonight as preparations are underway for our annual Pack 109 Winter Carnival!

Are you planning to join us on Sunday, December 7th at the Dewey Lowman American Legion Post 109 in Arbutus? All are welcome and it is always a blast!

In keeping with the "Scouting for Food" mission, Pack 109 is organizing an independent local Food Drive to support our community during the government shutdown and uncertainty of SNAP benefits funding. This crisis disproportionately impacts Maryland families, and Pack 109 is answering the call to service as part of our focus on Citizenship during the November month.

If you are able, please make a direct monetary donation to the Maryland Food Bank to most impactfully help relieve this burden on needy families in our community. Pack 109 will also be accepting donations of non-perishable foods and toiletries to deliver to Food Pantries in the Halethorpe/Arbutus/Lansdowne community, including Our Lady of Victory, Southwest Emergency Services (SWES), Lansdowne Interfaith Pantry, and Women of Valor's Family First Program.

We urge families to check for unused funds in their tax-advantaged FSA/HSA account that need spent before the end of the year. Review the FSA/HSA eligible expenses list for OTC medicines / skincare / first-aid / menstrual care / family planning items that are routinely requested donations by local pantries and aid groups.

"Our Scout Oath calls on our young people to “help other people at all times,” and Scouting for Food demonstrates to the nation how our movement can make a difference in their communities."
