Pack 183 Weekly Update
Baltimore Area Council · Cub Scouts BSA
Week of September 27, 2026
Good Evening, Pack 183!
A big shoutout to all the parents who came out to last week’s Parent Meeting — that may well have been the largest Parent Meeting we’ve had in my time with the pack. Thank you for showing up for your Cubs!
This Tuesday, September 29th, is our Den Meeting at Christus Victor. We’ll start together as a group covering our Cub Scout Six Essentials for hiking, then break into our individual dens to work on advancements.
The following week, the pack sets out on our first group hike! The location is still to be determined, but we’ll keep it close by with plenty of parking — more details to come.
Our family Trunk-or-Treat is coming up on October 20th, and sign-ups are now open! Sign up here to reserve your spot.
A service note for our families: Victor’s Vittles, the food pantry at Christus Victor, is currently in need of non-perishable food donations. This is a simple, meaningful way for our Cubs to give back to the community — please consider bringing non-perishable items to donate. Non-perishables can be dropped in the bins by the front door, underneath the church’s free table.
As always, our website at Pack183Adventure.org has exclusive content for pack families including our photo gallery and newsletters. Use the password Reverent2026 to access members-only content.
Parents — join our pack’s parent Facebook group, Parents of Pack 183, to connect with other families and stay in the loop!
