At the pack meeting on Friday night, Cub Scout Pack 107 had the pleasure of welcoming 16 new registered new cub scouts to the pack!! They were welcomed with the neckerchief presentation by their den leaders.
A big congratulations goes out to the 13 cub scouts who were present for the Bobcat Ceremony, earning their first rank, the rank of Bobcat.
As a new cub scout joins our pack, the cub scout is starting his or her scouting career with the guidance of the parents. In earning the Bobcat rank, the cub scout has learned the way of scouting and is committed to doing his or her best.
The paint colors on the face have special significance.
“BLUE is from the sky. The paw print of the Bobcat on your forehead is the spirit of the bobcat. This reminds you to do your best on the Cub Scout Trail.
YELLOW is from the sun. The marks under your eyes will help you see the light of the Cub Scout trail and they symbolize the bright spirit of Cub Scouting.
WHITE is for purity. The mark on your nose helps you know right from wrong as you go along the Cub Scout trail.
RED is for courage. The mark on your chin reminds you to always speak the truth.
GREEN stands for the spirit of nature. The marks on each cheek will guide you to live in harmony with the great outdoors.”
***The cub scouts love the part when they get to dab white paint on their parent’s nose.***
“Again, WHITE is for Love and guidance, your parents are always with you in your heart and in your spirit. They will always do the right thing and will help you achieve all your Scout goals and keep you on the track of life until you are a man or woman and can soar with the Eagles.”
The pack had a successful summer program this year and has earned the Summer Time Pack Award for hosting pack scouting events for each month during the summer, Summer Time Den award to the Bears and AOL dens for having 50% or more of the den participate in the summer pack events, cub scouts who received the Cub Scouting National Summer Time Award, for participating in at least one pack scouting event for each of the summer months.

A special award was given to the scout whole sold the most popcorn in September… Nick, and AOL scout sold overy $1000 in popcorn to date!! Great job!!
The pack enjoyed a energized game of High-Low at the pre-pack meeting , and requested an encore near the end of the meeting, follwed by a series of clapping games: Gung Ho, Break It Down and Seven Up. It was a great test of one’s coordination skills!

On Friday September 13, 2019, Pack 107 had their first pack meeting since the beginning of summer, and it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to meet new ones. On the Saturday prior, Pack 107 hosted a Water Bottle Launching event at Mill Villages Park. There, our cub scouts met new scout friends and it was wonder to see those new friends join Pack 107.
The pack meeting opened with the Color Guard ceremony performed by our pack den leaders. Tabitha Lefrancois, our cub master, introduced our pack committee members to the new cub scouts and to all families, followed by an ice breaker moment where each den circled up for scout introductions and games.
Cub scouts who went to scout summer camp at Treasure Valley Scout Reservation Camp were recognized and awards a summer camp badge.
Cubscouts who earned hiking miles over the summer were recognized with awards as well.
During the summer, our pack attended the CMASS rocket launching event in Acton to commemorate the 50th year anniversary of the moon landing. There was an award given to the rocket that landed closed to the event moon flag. A big congratulations to our Tiger cub Tennyson for landing his rocket only 1 meter from the flag!
Our cubscsout learned about our popcorn selling season which is the main fundraising to fund our pack’s year activities, awards and operating costs. Cub scouts who sell $500 or more can earn a free overnight experience at The Mystic Aquarium! The top seller for this year’s pre- kick off is our AOL scout, Nick who sold over $800 in product already!
Our highest selling returning scout, Steven, had the honor of demonstrating the etiquette of popcorn sales. He also got to throw a cream pie into the face of our cub master, Tabitha. The winner for this popcorn selling season will have the honor to throw the pie next.
The cub scouts enjoyed a stem session with a contest to see which den could come up with the tallest free standing structure using marshmallows and dry spaghetti. The honors go to the Webelos!
On Sunday, our cub scouts went on a popcorn blitz where seasoned scout assisted and mentored new scouts on how to sell popcorn for our fundraising effort.
What a great day it turned out for the Cub Scout Pack 107 Water Rocket Launch Event today! The remnants of Hurricane Dorian came and went, leaving us with great weather! This was the first event of Pack 107’s scout calendar year, and it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces return, and to meet so many new faces from the Grafton community who came to participate this this event! Everyone had a blast designing their own 2L soda bottle rocket, and experimenting with different water to air ratio with each launch to see how they could improve their launch height. There were also fun game stations set up so everyone stayed busy during the whole event. Already, the scouts and their new friends were learning STEM without even knowing it, and having so much fun in the process! Thank you to all the leaders, volunteers, and participants for coming out to make this event a great success!
