Den Meeting (Talent Show Prep)
Weekly meeting for Cub Scouts to work toward completing their Adventures as a Den. As part of this meeting, Dens will come up with and practice their skits for the upcoming Talent Show
Overnight Aboard the USS Little Rock
Join us for an unforgettable overnight aboard the USS Little Rock at the Buffalo Naval Park. Scouts will explore the ship, learn about naval history, and spend the night sleeping aboard a real Navy vessel.
This is an optional event at an additional cost, details on pricing and registration to follow. Space may be limited, so keep an eye out for sign-up information!
Talent Show
Join us for an evening celebrating the many talents of our Scouts. Scouts are welcome to sign up the day of the show to perform a talent of their choice, whether it's music, jokes, magic tricks, or anything in between.
Each Den will also take the stage to perform a skit, so come cheer on your fellow Scouts and enjoy a fun night of laughs and applause!
Day of Service Event
A core part of Scouting is giving back, and our Day of Service is one of our favorite ways to do just that! In years past, Scouts and families have spent the morning raking leaves for Rocky River residents, lending a hand to neighbors in our community. Details for this year's service project are still being finalized, check back soon for more information!

Hello, Pack 390 Families!
We will be having our annual Big Flag event on Tuesday, December 29, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. at Rocket Arena! Come and join the pack for a fun night of Monster's Hockey with an opportunity for your Cub to be on the ice!
Other than the difference in date this year, you will order the tickets yourself. While this is a much cleaner way to buy tickets, the deadline is MUCH firmer. You MUST order your tickets by Nov. 27. I will be reminding you in person and via email multiple times before, but if you know you'll be going, buy yours TODAY!
Instructions of how to order are on the attached flyer or tickets can be ordered on this website: https://pa.exchange/marketplace/aabd1ec4-b77d-11f1-8d56-6598abdf6dd6/storefront/aabd1fe6-b77d-11f1-b25f-4d0a1d668cc9
Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you and your Cubs on Dec. 29!
Yours in Scouting,

Logistics and FORMS (you will need to bring completed forms with you)
Beaumont Scout Reservation
Overview: Beaumont Scout Reservation is big. It is loosely separated into: Camp Gray (we won't use), Camp McIntosh (where our lodge/campsite is), the Augustus Training Center (where the food hall is), and Camp Broadbent (where most of the activities are). I've included a marked up map as an attachment.
For those arriving Saturday and not camping, you can come to the campsite and park in the designated area or you can park over by the Dining Hall, which is more central to the activities.
If you arrive at 10:30am or later on Saturday, there is a good chance most folks are on their way or at the activities. I recommend parking near the Dining Hall and walking from there. There is no set schedule, so you are free to go as you please or reach out to your Den Leader or me to meet up with others.
Important:
- For EACH ATTENDEE (adult and child), you must: print, fill out, and bring the Health form located at: https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-001_AB.pdf
- Have this form in the front seat of your car. You will need them at the check-in/checkpoint.
- Once you arrive at camp, please hold on to your AB Med forms and keep in an accessible place.
Check-in Times: Friday 6PM-9PM; Saturday 7:30AM-9AM. See below if you arrive outside those times.
Check-in Procedure: There will be a checkpoint along the main road (near the barn between Camp Gray and Camp McIntosh) where you will check-in and present your health forms. Provided you have your health/activity forms, they should be able to resolve any issues on the spot - if not, give me a call at 216-551-6620. If you arrive outside the times listed above: drop off any equipment at our lodge, park your car, and turn-in your health form to the folder in our Lodge.
Our location: We will be staying in/around Lodge No. 2. For those staying the night(s), you can drive up to unload your gear. Once unloaded, please move your vehicle to the parking lot shown on the map (attached).

- Camp is big and there will be A LOT of walking! Bring comfortable shoes to wear.
