Taking It Outdoors
We received notification from Mountain View Elementary that they’ll be doing a School Beautification Day this Saturday, and we’ll have some folks out there between 8:30 and 10:00 AM. If you’d like to join, we’d love to see you there! Please have your scouts and any attending scout leaders wear their Pack 1714 t-shirts so we can easily spot and support one another.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me or any adult leader.
We’re so excited for the new scouting year—and we’d love for your family to be part of it! Whether you’ve already come to one of our events or you’re just learning about Pack 1714, you can register your scout today and jump right into the fun.

We can’t wait to scout with you this year!
Honoring our fallen soldiers during the annual Memorial Day Flag Placement ceremony.
Cumberland Caverns was an adventure. Even our youngest did a trek underground through some challenging spaces. We had a great time and actually camped INSIDE of the cave!
We had such a great time at Cub Outdoor Weekend on nearby Lake Allatoona
At our annual Christmas pack meeting, we made Christmas cards for our community, and we gave out awards for our annual popcorn sales. Some lucky kids get to throw whipped cream pies at the pack leader of their choice.
They didn’t go easy on me…
We had a blast seeing the Blue Angels in Florida in November!

As the school year is wrapping up, so does the adventures of scouting. The Crossover meeting was held at Pack 1714’s favorite local park, MacFarlane Nature Park. The scouts completed all their hard work to advance to the next den level. To commemorate the occasion, they walk across the bridge one by one. At the end of the bridge, they receive their neckerchief for their new assigned den. Afterwards, the scouts celebrated by eating Kona Ice in color changing cups and playing Gaga ball. Everyone had a great time celebrating another fun of year of scouting. The scouts had fun camping in new locations, went to learn about space exploration, earn badges, and learned to work together as a team while having fun. What will the adventures be next year? The parents and leaders will plan for another exciting year with new adventures.
There is a magical scout camp in Northeast Georgia that many of the scouts have never been before. They had to go and experience this awesome campground called Woodruff. Pack 1714 was there with other local Atlanta area Packs. The scouts experienced new games and challenges to help build teamwork. The one that was a favorite for scouts and parents was soccer. The ball was 6 feet tall beach ball and the scouts had to move it with their hands to touch the top bar of the small goal. It took a while for someone to score but it was lots of fun to watch. Another activity the scouts enjoyed was pulling the covered wagon. Some of the scouts really shined by stepping up and showing how they are strong enough to help. This also tested some of the Webelos leadership skills to make sure the poles were in right place for the wagon to reach to the finish line.
After some of the games, the scouts were able to be creative for some of the arts and crafts. The scouts were able to tie dye a hat, leather working, and build small boats. The ones you hung around camp tried to make forts until it was time for the Pack skits by the fire. Some of the Packs shared their skits and of course everyone laughed. Once it was over, we went back to camp to enjoy some walking tacos and one of the parents made some delicious cobblers. The scouts had a great time and experience at the magical scout camp called Woodruff.
