Pack 48 Patch Design
We need a patch design for the new 3” patch we’ll wear on the right pocket of our uniform.
Sketch out a design that will be unique to our Pack using colored pencils. You can include things from scouting (like tents or hiking sticks) or things from Lansing (like Cayuga Lake or Myers Lighthouse). Just remember we need fit your design onto a 3” circle. The patch will also include the words “Cub Scout Pack 48” and “Lansing, NY”.
The Pack will vote for their favorite design and we will work with the patch company to make your design come to life!
Turn your design into your Den Leader by the April Pack Meeting, April 29, 2008!

Looking for a new backpack, tent, or sleeping bag?
The Eureka tent outlet store is having their annual "Tent Sale" for the whole month of April. This is usually a good opportunity to get a price break on factory seconds and refurbished gear. They are on Conklin Road in Binghamton. Note that the web site doesn't show the sale items & prices, but they are available at the store.
Tell them you're with scouts, there are sometimes other or additional discounts. They can help pick the right tent for your use, or the fit a backpack properly.
They also sell a range of other camping gear & accessories- cooking, hiking, boating
