Happy Monday, Pack 196 Families!

With April Fools' Day right around the corner this Wednesday, we've been working on my dad jokes. And by work we mean quickly scouring the Internet sources and customizing them so you think we're funny. Here are a few to share with your Scouts:

When Orr's Bridge closed during COVID I was sad. I couldn't get over it.

 Winter Camp Recap

A huge shoutout to everyone who attended Winter Camp this past weekend... it was arguably our best one yet! Massive thanks to Jake E. for running all the fun activities, and to Sarah & Nick L. for taking care of the menu. I'm still stuffed!

How do Hidden Valley Reservation's trees access the internet? They log on.

 Schedule Updates & The Home Stretch

--There are NO den meetings this week. Enjoy the break!

--Next Tuesday, April 7th @ 6:30 PM, we will be holding our Parent Meeting (formerly known as the Committee Meeting) at Sporting Hill Elementary. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.

What's the fastest way to ruin a den leader's knock-knock joke? Say, "it's open."

Believe it or not, we only have 2 Pack Meetings remaining for the year, and just a handful of den meetings! With the weather getting nicer, please stay in close touch with your den leaders regarding any pivots, outdoor location changes, or cancellations.

What color is the wind? Blew.

 Spring Trip to Valley Forge - DEADLINE APPROACHING

Our Spring Trip (May 1-3) is coming up fast! The deadline to sign up is next Tuesday, April 7th (EOD). The cost is $40, which includes a tour, sleeping accommodations, and food.

 All details and sign-ups are here: Spring Trip Info & Registration

Where did George Washington keep his armies at Valley Forge? In his sleevies.

 Memorial Day Parade - Volunteers Needed!

We are looking for a couple of parents to step up and lead our coordination for the Memorial Day Parade in Camp Hill on Monday, May 25th. It's a very straightforward event (meet at 8:30 AM, start at 9:30 AM in Class A uniforms), but we need a couple of folks to take point.

If you can help lead this, please just reply directly to this email!

Never trust a Scout who enjoys a Chinese parade. There are a lot of red flags.

We'll be here all week.

Yours in Scouting,

The Two Jakes
