Cub Scout Pack 53, Auburn MA

The next Pack event will be our June Jamboree and Open House:

Friday, June 4

6:30-8:00pm

Faith Baptist Church, 22 Faith Avenue, Auburn

All boys who will be entering 1st through 5th grade are invited.  This meeting will feature the Pack's first Raingutter Regatta!

Attend our Final Pack Meeting of the school year and see how much fun Cub Scouting is!

All boys attending this meeting will make and race their own boat (Supplies and instruction will be provided), enjoy some refreshments, make new friends, and have lots of fun-- while learning more about Cub Scouting!

Joining Pack 53 now will entitle boys and their families to participate in our Pack's summertime activities, which will include:

• A special Scout sleepoever on the USS Salem on June 12
• Scout Night and sleepover with the Worcester Tornadoes on July 10
• Pack 53's Family Camping Weekend at Lake Dennison State Park on Aug 20-22
• Other activities will be posted on the left sidebar

As of June 2009, Pack 53 has a new chartering organization and home!

Faith Baptist Church in Auburn is our new base of operations for both the Troop and the Pack, and we are all extremely excited by the new facility, members and leadership of the church.  With this new partnership, we are hoping to bring even more energy and events to the Pack, and will find new ways to support each other's organizations as we move forward into this new chapter of Pack 53...

Check out Faith's website for more information on their other programs and activities:  http://www.FaithAuburn.org 

 Please contact the Cubmaster with any questions/comments about the pack or this web site: Cubmaster@auburnpack53.org

What this web will be offering in the coming months: 

• Current functionality needs to be tweaked to handle den vs pack events, list the date rather than just the number of days until the event on the left sidebar, and include information like event leader, cost, meeting place)

• Mailing lists for announcements
  • Den and Pack leaders will be able to use this to make announcements to their dens, or to the entire pack
• Photo Gallery for pack events
  • Still being debugged-- issues with the web hosting service O/S libraries
• Discussion Forums within the website, with all pack members allowed to post and contribut
• Blogs by the den and pack leaders (well, the Cubmaster may give this a try at least
• Den-specific pages and content, including rank advancement status of den members, announcements, badge requirements, upcoming den-specific events, etc
• "Opt-in" email notifications of new web content (instantaneous, or in a daily/weekly "digest" format).
• RSS feeds are also supported by the web framework; this won't be configured initially

If you have other ideas, let the cubmaster and/or webmaster know. If we can figure out how to implement it, we'll give it our best shot!
