Welcome New Cub Scouts!

Thank you to everyone that participated in a fun, an successful New Scout orientation night.

What a fantastic group of boys and parents!
(Hopefully we didn't leave too many rockets in the rafters)

Our next Pack meeting is currently scheduled for 9/20 @ 7:00 PM in the CPCS Gym.
There was some question as to whether there was a CPCS function conflicting with this meeting. We will have clarification on this, and will update this site very shortly

If you are joining a Den other than Tigers, a Den leader will be contacting you soon with their Den meeting schedules. If you did not get a chance to give us your contact information, please email bothellpack574@gmail.com, and we will get you pointed in the right direction

If you are a Tiger parent, we will be organizing your first Den meeting shortly after the Sept Pack Mtg

4th of July Parade

Greetings Pack 574 parents!

We hope that you will all be able to join us in celebrating the 4th with your pack in the Bothell 4th of July parade.

Jay and I have put the finishing touches on the Pack 574 parade float, and it is ready to roll!

If you liked the Time Machine at the last pack meeting, you will love the Pack 574 parade float!

We need as many scouts as possible to carry the pack banner, pass out candy, ride in the old truck, or just sit on the lawn enjoying a campfire on the float.
This is a very fun event, and a long tradition for pack 574, so don't miss it!

Our parade float this year is a campground theme. there are trees, real grass, a campfire, birds, rocks, 
and a trout lake all rolling on 4 wheels behind a very cool classic truck.

We will be assembling in the UW Bothell parking lot at 11:00 am for hot dogs and snacks while we get ready for the parade to begin at 12:00.

You can park in the South parking garage at UW Bothell, and walk uphill to the south Parking lot.

Pack 574 will be assembling in parking stalls 1275-1282 near the upper end of the parking lot
Enter UW Bothell/Cascadia off Beardslee blvd

The address is:
18115 Campus Way Northeast
Bothell, WA 98011

spectators will want to find parking closer to downtown Bothell, or near Pop Keeney stadium, and walk to Main street.

OHOP Overnight  Cancelled
Our first summertime event.  This is an exciting one.  I actually went with my boys four years ago, and they still talk about how much fun it was.  We slept in the old school house, but some of the others actually slept in the barn with the animals!  How cool is that?

Cub Scout Day Camp
It has been quite a few years since our Pack has talked about the Day Camp.  The council had a few years where the camp just wasn't very well put together.  We have heard really good things about the past couple years, so we thought we would let you all know.  Camps are great way for scouts to earn requirements.
