Phillies Scout Night 2011
22 Scouts and their families from Pack 151 endured the bitter cold and wind in the 300 level of Citizens Bank Park at the Phillies annual Scout night last night. Roy Oswalt pitched the 8-5 win against the Pirates.
Before the game, the boys of Pack 151 were part of a 9,000-strong parade of area Scouts that paraded around the field pre-game. The group was so large, the first pitch was delayed by 20 minutes. While Pack 151 was on the field, first baseman Ryan Howard ran right through the middle of our group as we passed the Phillies dugout. As we left the field, our boys were projected 76 feet tall on the largest scoreboard screen in baseball.

Thanks to Deb Walter for her connections to get us such great seats!
We’re already planning for Phillies Scout Night 2012. The Wilmington Blue Rocks and Lancaster Barnstormers have their Scout nights (with a sleepover option) on August 12. Watch the events page for more information.
Cub Pack 151 Featured in the Patch
Cub Pack 151’s winter camping trip was featured in this week’s Marple Newtown Patch. It captures the spirit of the event like the author was there, which of course she was.
If you haven’t read the article yet, please check it out and tell your friends. Bretany is currently the #3 “Mom’s Corner” writer on the Patch network nationwide. We’d like to see her get to #1.
Bretany will be doing another story in the fall, at the membership time featuring Pack 151. If you have any good stories or photos that she can include, drop her a line, or upload them on the site.
Resica Falls Trip – March 25-27, 2011
Close encounters with snow, marshmallows and trout. Where else but the Resica Falls Scout reservation could you experience such a varied group of elements in one weekend?
Thirteen scouts and their families from Pack 151 headed North for two nights of Camping this past weekend at the Bear Lodge at the Resica Falls Scout Reservation near Marshalls Creek, PA.
The weekend began Friday night with some unanticipated excitement when we found, on arrival, that we had been moved from the Firestone cabin we were expecting to the Bear cabin on the other side of the reservation. Some quick cell phone calls, and everyone was pointed to the new location.
After getting settled in Friday night, Ralph broke out a video projector for movie time, followed by a night of little sleep due to the combined excitement of the Scouts and the cabin’s gas furnace that wouldn’t quit – despite outside temperatures in the teens.
Saturday morning began with a pancake and sausage breakfast, then on to the morning’s activity: Building marshmallow shooters from PVC pipe. When the boys were finished building their own guns, they took to the woods behind the cabin for a marshmallow war.
After a quick break for lunch, it was time for close encounters of the trout kind.
The Bushkill River runs right through Rescia Falls. It is stocked several times a year with brown trout for fly fishing season. This weekend was one of the stocking weekends. Four thousand fish made the journey from a DCNR fish farm near State College to Resica Falls. They were brought down to the river 400 at a time in the Camp Ranger’s truck, where our boys and other volunteers transferred them into the river in plastic buckets.
After the fish stocking was done, some headed back to the cabin, while others continued on to see the camp’s namesake falls.
Dinner was franks and beans for the boys, and lasagna for the adults. After dinner a roaring campfire was built behind the cabin for roasting s’mores. After that, another movie let everyone wind down from a long, busy day, followed by an uneventful night.
In the morning, we had a light breakfast, and took a few group photos in front of the cabin, then it was time to break camp, clean up the cabin, and head for home.
Thanks to Ralph and Katrina Walton for their hard work putting this event together, especially Katrina, who was not present, but whose influence was felt at every mealtime with her organized menu and terrific food choices.
If you are a member, there are many photos that have been uploaded to the photos area. If you have some of your own, please log in and share them with the group.
