This article and photo appeared in this week’s edition of the Eldersburg Advocate newspaper:

Tiger Den 1, Pack 883 of Sykesville spent the morning Dec. 18 cleaning Cooper Park in Sykesville. They were not deterred by the wintry weather, and collected multiple bags of bottles, candy wrappers, and other trash. The boys were working on their 100th Anniversary of Scouting badge for Community service. Pack 883 meets at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Pictured is Den Leader Kevin Schreiner and Tiger Cubs Jackson Schreiner, Charlie Ritter, and Anderson Schreiner picking up trash along Md. 32 in Cooper Park.

We received a very nice thank you letter from Patti Patton-Bader from Soldiers’ Angels in recognition of the 11 no-sew blankets Pack 883 send to deployed troops during the holidays.
Here is a copy of the letter we received:

It is that time of year that we need to prepare for registration for Cub Scout Day Camp! Day Camp is a week-long day camp opportunity for Cub Scouts. The camp is held in Westminster. There are two sessions – one in June, and one in July. The Cub Scouts will have an opportunity to shoot BB guns, practice their archery skills, earn advancements, and have tons of Cub Scout fun!
Diane Wolf is coordinating the Pack’s registration process.
I must have all COMPLETED FORMS (which includes Camper and Jr camper registration, adult volunteer registration, medical & BSA Youth Protection Certificate) and payment to me by February 2nd. I will have a table setup at the Pinewood Derby and Klondike to turn them in, or you can mail it directly to me. My home address is: 1251 Guilford Road, Eldersburg, MD 21784
If you do not complete all forms (fully) and give the payment to me by the deadline, the Carroll District will add an additional $30 fee for each registration. District will not accept any forms (even with late fee) after March 8th, except for NEW Scouts or registered Scouts transferring into Carroll District. Please note that I am just collecting all the paperwork, payment and handing it in – it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to have all the completed information and forms done and given to me. The Pack is not going to be responsible for any rejections or late fees from the District. Please do not wait until the last minute do this. District is firm with the late fees and all deadlines. Day Camp is a lot of fun and well worth the cost.
I have attached the following forms that give all the general information, Scout registration, adult registration, junior camper registration, and medical forms. Forms can also e found on the Carroll District website www.bsacarroll.org.
YIS,
Diane

At our December Pack Meeting, Cub Scout Pack 883 collected 117 lbs of food for the Carroll County Food Bank.
Ira Seidel delivered the food on Saturday!
Thank you to all Cub Scouts and families who donated to this worthy cause.
