Pack Meeting Changes

First United Methodist Church has graciously offered to host our Pack Meetings this year.  We will meet in the gym area on the fourth Monday of the month.  The first meeting of the year will be Monday, Sept. 26th, at 7:00pm.  First United Methodist Church is located at 211 West Third Street.

Since South MacArthur Church of Christ has sold their building to Infinity Prep we have not had access to the building.  We approached First United Methodist Church as an alternative site to hold meetings and they have welcomed us with open arms.

9/26 – Monday, 7pm
10/24 – Monday, 7pm
11/28 – Monday, 7pm
12/10 – Saturday, 9am

Cedar Hill Night Hike

http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/cedar_hill/

Saturday, August 27th, meet at 7:45pm, hike begins at 8:00pm.
Duck Pond Trail at Cedar Hill State Park.

Hiking the Duck Pond Trail, this hike will cover 1 mile and will run from twilight until after dark.
It is hot in August, and most of the animals in our area are active after dark this time of year.   We’re going to be counting “eyes” we can spot from the trail.  Whether it be raccoons, armadillos, skunks, or opossums, we should be able to see a few.
Flashlights will be a requirement for each hiker (parent and scout) and headlamps are recommended if you already have one.
We will meet at the parking lot in the park on West Spine Rd, near the coordinates of 32.616313,-96.981392. at 7:45 PM and will begin our hike at 8:00 PM.  Sunset in North Texas is 7:58 this day.  Again, remember your flashlights along with your water and trail snacks for this one.

Cost is $5 per adult to enter the park (unless you have a Texas Park Pass), and kids under 13 are free.
