Life is a highway and Scouting helps navigate the twists and turns. Join us for our annual Blue & Gold Banquet on February 25, 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Cross Timbers Church. We will be celebrating the anniversary of Scouting and watching our Webelos II earn their Arrows of Light, the final accomplishment on the road to becoming a Boy Scout. Mark your calendars and get ready to meet us at the finish line!

Without question one of the highlights of our scouting year is the Pinewood Derby race. Understanding how busy our schedules can get after the holidays with work and other things, the Pack is providing each scout with his official car kit and racing rules should they elect to begin working on their car during the holidays.
The actual race will not take place until March. The final date and time is still TBD.
If you have NOT received your car kit AND you want to work on it over the holiday please contact Henry Stroup at 817-888-5120 to arrange pick-up.
Otherwise, please work with your Den Leaders as they will have a car kit for you and can discuss any questions you might have at your next Den meeting.
The link attached has the official rules and guidelines for car constructions.
When you hear BALOO, do you immediately think of anything other than a big, furry bear that befriends young Mogli and sings “The Bear Necessities?” If you’re not involved in Scouting, you probably don’t. But we can change that!
BALOO is a scouting acronym that stands for “Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation.”
Did you know that it is BSA policy that as a Pack, we can NOT camp unless we have at LEAST one BALOO certified leader present? Did you know that most of our BALOO trained leaders will be leaving in the next 18 months? Did you know that you can take this training in a few hours over one Saturday?
Please consider becoming the next BALOO trained adult in Pack 317. The boys need you to!
While there is training schedule for March 24, 2012, if they have enough (10) interested parties in taking an earlier class, our amazing Mustang District will put together a class just for them?!
Won’t you please consider in investing in our Pack’s future success by ensuring that we have adequate BALOO trained leadership present at all camp outs.
Please contact George Bell at mobeans@me.com to express your interest in taking EITHER the March 24 class or an earlier one.
Mimosa Manor had a conflict and we needed to move our event. Hope to see all of you there!
Den 8 completed the requirements for their citizenship activities badge and belt loop. A highlight of the advancement was when the scout worked in pairs to learn the proper way to raise and lower the United States flag at the Keller Public Library.
Cub Scouts from Pack 317 assisted Hidden Lakes’ Elementary School on November 3rd as they ‘Stuffed the Bus’. Scouts from Den 3 assisted in loading the bus, sorting the food (over 1100 lbs of food!!!!!) and making the announcements for the annual food drive supporting our local Community Storehouse. Thanks to Ryland Sifford, Chase Kocian, Cade Blakeman and Ian Wiechers for helping to load the boxes of food onto the bus and to all of the Den 3 Cub Scouts who volunteered their time during this event.
Pack 317 will be having a leadership meeting at the Hidden Lakes Clubhouse off Bear Creek Pkwy on Thursday December 8th at 7pm.
All scout parents are welcome.
Come learn about what makes the pack go and easy ways you can help. No experience necessary.
