Pinewood Derby Weigh-In
2022-02-03 22:00 - 2022-02-04 02:00 UTC | Scout Room, St John the Divine
The 2022 Pinewood Derby is this Saturday! The event will be returning to Sumner Hall and the Gymnasium.
The complete schedule and rules are posted on the website:
Volunteers:
We still need a lot of volunteers! The Pinewood Derby cannot happen without help from the parents. Nobody has volunteered to be a race day announcer or to oversee the divisional championship races. We also need 5 more people to sign up for the prestigious setting up of the track on Thursday evening, and the equally exclusive track tear-down team on Saturday. Please, please, please volunteer to help make this event happen.
Please signup to help at the following link:
Car Check-in:
You can check-in your car on Thursday evening from 4-9pm and Friday evening 4-6pm. Note the extended hours on Thursday. Cars must be checked in on either Thursday or Friday. Cars that are not checked in on Thursday or Friday will not be allowed to race. Every year, somebody shows up on Saturday morning wanting to check-in a car, but it’s not allowed.

December Pack Meeting - Sockball Fight for Star of Hope
2021-12-17 00:45 - 02:00 UTC | North Lawn, St John the Divine
Thursday, December 16, 2021 @ 6:45 PM, North Lawn SJD: November Pack Meeting:
Join Pack 55 for our final Pack Meeting of 2021. We’ll be convening on the North Lawn at St. John the Divine at 6:45 on Thursday 12/16. For our December meeting we will be reviving a much-loved Pack tradition: a snowball fight. For those new to this longstanding tradition, we will not be importing machinery from Colorado to manufacture frozen white powder. Rather, we’ll ask each family to arm their child with white athletic socks bundled in pairs. While not as cold as actual snow, these bundles are just as much fun to throw at friends. Once the activities are complete we will gather the socks for donation to the Star of Hope Mission, a local homeless shelter. Each family is asked to bring at least three pairs of socks, and we appreciate you joining us in supporting this local cause. Bring a camp chair for your comfort. Please wear a face mask when social distancing is not possible.
Pinewood Derby car kits will be available for pickup at the Pack Meeting so you can work on them over the holidays.
Reminder: Bring your Part A/B Health Form to this meeting as well, if you have not turned them in. All participants in the January Brazos Bend Campout need to have Part A/B Medical Forms for all members of their party (all adults, scouts and siblings). Turn them in to Mitchell Fuller or another Adult Leader at the Pack Meeting. Link to the forms here: .
Come and join the fun.

Virtual Caroling on the North Lawn, St John the Divine
2021-12-04 18:00 - 19:00 UTC | Outdoors on the North Lawn, St John the Divine
A Scout looks for creative ways to bring good cheer to those around him or her. In lieu of gathering in-person at Brookdale Assisted Living (on Buffalo Speedway) this year for caroling, we will again record some carols together as a pack outdoors, on the North Lawn at St John the Divine. We were unable to secure permission to sing on the premises, due to COVID-19 and the continued need for social distancing and limited groups sizes at Brookdale.
The digital recordings of the songs, as well as the handmade cards, will be delivered to Brookdale and shared with their residents. Come and join the fun. Families are welcome to join in this recording session.
