Welcome to Pack 1429!

We are very proud of our advancement program, where dedicated adults work with scouts at all ages of advancement to help keep them on track to meet their goals.

We are open to all genders, faiths and backgrounds.

Where are we?

All Pack meetings and Den meetings take place at Alpharetta Presbyterian Church in Alpharetta, GA.

When do we meet?

A typical month has the Scouts meeting 3 times (typically 1st, 2nd Tuesday's meeting are with their respective Den and 3rd Tuesday's meeting is with the Pack) but Dens may have extra outings on their own. There will also be occasional Friday check-ins for Saturday morning events, such as our Rocket Launch or Pinewood Derby.

Rocket Launch Nov 15th

Hi Pack!

It's almost time for rockets, one of my favorite events of the year! Here is some important preliminary information.

Save the Date: November 15th, 8:00 am arrival, end by about 11:00 am
Location: Innovation Academy Fields
Volunteers Needed! Please sign up here. If you remember last year's event, it's busy work to get each rocket ready 2 times.

We only need 1 parent to help with the engine distribution. This requires no experience, but I do ask that this volunteer arrive a minute early. You'll have a list of participating scouts and which engine they need. Simply make sure they get the right engine and no more than 2 each.
We need 3 parents to help scouts prepare their rockets for launch. This involves inserting the engine, wadding and parachute correctly. It's super easy and we will provide plenty of training.
We need 1 experienced parent to help at the launch pad. Here, the volunteer will do a final inspection to ensure the rocket is ready for launch, will assist the scouts in mounting their rocket to the pad and help the scout click the launch button.

Rockets are provided by the pack and distributed to each den leader soon. Scouts will have time to assemble the rockets at den and pack meetings.

Please be on the lookout for more information to come! Let me know if you have any questions at all.

Thanks,

APC Service Project: Grounds Improvement Day.

Please tell the Scouts at APC that our property workday in the spring is set for Saturday, October 25th from 8Am to 12PM. If Scouts can come (parents welcome too!) to help spread pine straw and mulch, it’s a big help. Come for 1-3 hours if they can.

Parents,

Our district (Northern Ridge) is putting on Baloo - Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation

It will be an overnight campout at St Thomas Aquinas on Sept 20-21 from 7AM Saturday to 12PM Sunday
https://www.northernridgebsa.org/baloo

Our leaders in the past have taken this training and it is extremely valuable to learn the cub lingo, basic cooking, and camping skills/gear selection.
