Pack 81 Adventure Kickoff Night

Friday, September 19, 2025 -- 5:30-7:30pm @ Sunny Meadow, Chelmsford

Join Pack 81 for an exciting evening of hands-on scouting fun! This is a chance for both current Cub Scouts and families interested in scouting to jump right into the adventure. Scouts will get to try out favorite activities like setting up a real campsite, playing games and joining in hands-on demonstrations, and roasting marshmallows around a campfire for s'mores. It's a night packed with games, teamwork, and a taste of the adventures ahead this year. Bring your energy, your curiosity, and your family and friends - because scouting is more fun together!

Fall Hike & Ice Cream at Great Brook Farm

Lace up your hiking shoes and join Pack 81 for a hike to welcome the fall season -- topped off by a special ice cream reward at the end! 

We'll meet at the Great Brook Farm ski touring center (near the parking lot) by 11am, explore the trails of Great Brook, keeping our eyes open for signs of local wildlife and the early changes of the season as summer turns to fall. It's a great way to enjoy the outdoors together and kick off another year of adventure!

Service Projects: Veteran's Rake-out & Aldersgate Church Rake-out, BBQ with Troop 81

Saturdays, Nov 16th & 22nd, 2025

A scout is courteous, kind, and helpful. 

Each November, we help our community by conducting a fall cleanup for a local Veteran, and for Aldersgate Church which supports our Pack with event space and assistance throughout the year. After the church rake-out, we'll enjoy a BBQ lunch with Troop 81 and then proceed to our Popcorn celebration event.
