Hello Pack 126 Families,
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful Fall weather. Hopefully Harvest Fest next weekend will be equally as nice!

Tuesday, October 21: Den meetings for the Tiger Den (1st Grade), Webelos Den (4th Grade) and AOL Den (5th Grade).
Tuesday, October 28: Lion Den (Kindergarten), Wolf Den (2nd Grade), and Bear Den (3rd Grade).
Harvest Fest (October 12, 2025 - Ticket Pickup Option):
The NEPA Councils Harvest Fest will take place on October 25, 2025, at Camp Acahela. All new scouts should have received free ticket to this event in the mail! If you didn’t please let J Croom know at jcr...@cubpack126.org
Please note that the pack will not be attending at a specific time, but all scouts and their families are encouraged to join at their convenience. Be sure to mark your calendars! We’ll share more details at upcoming events.
Anyone that ordered Tickets through the pack can pick them up Tuesday night at the church between 6:30 and 7:30PM
If you still need tickets you can pick them up at the Council Service Center. See the flyer below.
Wolf - Bear - AOL Camping at Harvest Fest:
A separate e-mail will be going out to those registered.
Medical Forms:
All Scouts must have a Class A/B medical form on file with the pack. Additionally, all Scouts should obtain a Class C form signed at their next physical. The forms can be found at the link below, and it is recommended to download and fill them out digitally. This will save time next year, as you will only need to update and get the signature instead of filling out the entire form again.
Forms are only good for 1 year.
All new scouts need to submit A/B forms now.
For returning scouts, we will share the expiration of your current form.
It is your responsibility to keep your forms up-to-date with the pack.
Popcorn Fundraiser (Ends November 1, 2025):
Our Popcorn Fundraiser is underway! Scouts can sell individually or join one of our storefront opportunities.
To get started, check out the Popcorn Sale Information Handout for sign-up instructions for both online and store front sales.
Selling is easy, just share your Scout’s online store link by text, email, or social media. All payments are handled through the app, so there’s no cash to track.
More store front opportunities are being added. Families can sign up on a first come first serve basis when they are released. Watch your email for more signup opportunities
This is a simple way to raise money to help cover camp costs and other Scouting adventures.
If you’re not selling popcorn, you can still contribute by doing community service and raising funds for the Heroes and Helpers program. A portion of these funds supports sending popcorn to members of our active military. Your Scout will receive 40% of the donations towards their Scout Account, and donations can be as low as $5. Learn more here

Roll Call Fundraiser (November 1, 2025)
On November 1, 2025, the Pack has been invited to hold a fundraiser at Roll Call in Scranton. We’ll be selling food and promoting Scouting throughout the event.
Anyone who volunteers to work a shift will receive a share of the proceeds credited to their Scout account.
If you’re interested, please sign up using the form below.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Kelly Berry, Christine Healey, or Adam Richard.
November Pack Meeting (November 7, 2025)
Our November Pack Meeting is Friday November 7, 2025 at the Maple Lake Methodist Church starting at 6:30PM
All Scouts should wear their Class A Uniform: Pack 126 Uniforming
This is a special night for our pack. In addition to Scouts working on their citizenship adventure, we will be welcoming and recognizing our new members by presenting them with their Pack Neckerchiefs. This will be an interactive presentation, and a parent or guardian will be invited to participate in this meaningful moment.
We will also be presenting scouts that completed their Bobcat Adventure and their Outdoor Adventure with their belt loops.
Please plan on attending. Families are welcome.
Veterans Day Ceremony (November 11, 2025)
Our pack will be participating in the Veterans Day ceremony on November 11, 2025, at 11 AM at VFW Post 5207, located at the corner of Routes 502 and 307 in Daleville. Scouts should arrive by 10:45 AM.
Weather permitting, a flag retirement ceremony will take place immediately after the Veterans Day ceremony at the same location.
All Scouts who are able to attend are encouraged to participate.
Community Service Project (November 16, 2025)
Pack 126 will be participating in the Scouting for Food community service project from November 9 to 16, 2025. This initiative not only helps fulfill the citizenship adventure requirements for Scouts but also supports members of our community.
Each Scout will receive door hangers and will be asked to collect food donations for the North Pocono Food Pantry.
Additionally, on November 16, 2025, we will be collecting food at Bill’s Shoprite. Families will be asked to sign up for 1-hour shifts throughout the day to assist with the collection. Further details regarding the sign-up process will be shared in the coming weeks.
Applebee’s Burgers Fundraiser (November 18, 2025)
Pack 126 will be holding an Applebee’s Burger Fundraiser from October 28, 2025 through November 18, 2025. Scouts will be selling Applebee’s Burger Fundraiser tickets for $13 each.
For every ticket sold, $9 will go directly into the Scout’s account. Each ticket can be redeemed at participating Applebee’s locations for a free burger and fries, with a choice from a variety of burgers on the menu.
This fundraiser works just like the Mum Sale or Krispy Kreme fundraiser, tickets are presold and then redeemed at participating restaurants. A list of these locations can be found at myrosegroup.com.
All money must be turned in no later than Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
