@pack19tampa  

This year's Blue & Gold ceremony, celebrating our boys' accomplishments, is today at 6:00 PM at the Barksdale Building

Pack meeting minutes and other electronic documents will be posted under "Pack Meeting Minutes" link to the left.

"The Gulf Ridge Council and the West Central Council have agreed that the service to youth will be promoted and administrative efficiencies will be effected by the formation of a new Scout council that consists of a merger of the two councils. Therefore, the Gulf Ridge Council will merge with the West Central Council and the name of the surviving corporation, West Central Council shall be changed to “Greater Tampa Bay Area Council, Inc.,” Boy Scouts of America, upon the effective date of merger. Each council shall provide the surviving corporation with a list of, and all title documents to all of its property, real and personal, tangible and intangible, and every other asset, including operating, capital and endowment accounts and those rights which it enjoys as a beneficiary of a trust or similar arrangement, and all of its records, all of which property, assets, rights and records shall inure to the benefit of the surviving corporation."

The Blue and Gold Banquet is a special time on the Cub Scout calendar.  It marks a time to celebrate and recognize all the accomplishments of our Scouts over the last year.  Our Pack is now in its second year and continuing to grow.  This will be our first year to have Scouts crossover (graduate) from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.  Their entire year has been dedicated to learning about the Boy Scout method and how it differs from the way Cub Scouting works.  

Calling all Scouts and Scouters!!  It is Pinewood Derby time.  On Feb 6, 2016 Pack 19 will continue a time-honored Cub Scout reaching back to 1953.  Cars will reach blazing speeds of up to 20 MPH zooming down the track.  We will recognize first, second and third place for Tigers, Cubs (Wolf and Bear) and Webelos.  We will also recognize the Cubs' Choice for best car as voted by the Scouts.  

As Cubmaster I have the privilege to watch our sons grow and learn through Scouting.  At every level of the Pack we have new experiences taking place.  From Neil and Aidan striking their first matches at the Spook-o-Ree while starting the coals for Sunday breakfast, to Christian setting up his first tent, to Kaz learning how to use his foot to put in a stake without bending it.  In a few years we will have another cub learning!  We are very thankful for our newest addition and Andrew couldn't be happier to have a little brother!
