February Pack Meeting - Postponed

New Date - March 2 - Goodnow Elementary - 6:30pm

Field Uniform

We’re bringing back a fun STEM activity this month. We’ll be breaking up into teams to build spaghetti towers. We’ll see which group of 3-4 scouts can build the tallest tower. Once everyone is done, well do a totally unscientific test of the stability of the tower before we clean them up.

Check this out for an idea of what the challenge will entail.

As always, bring a friend to come visit Pack 31!
