Our 2024 Pack Overnight will be at the Worcester EcoTarium from Saturday, April 27 to Sunday, April 28!  Reserve places for your Scout(s) and you by March 21.  If we still have open places at that time, siblings will be able to register (until March 27). Update: The registration deadline has passed. Thank you to the ~60 who registered!

Plan to arrive between 5 and 6 pm on Saturday.  Eat dinner beforehand or bring a dinner that you can eat in the snack area (and finish by 6:30).  We’ll participate in a special EcoTarium program starting at 6:30 pm.  Part of the program will hopefully be outside, so bring warm enough clothing.  After the program we’ll sleep on the floor (inside) among the museum exhibits.  Bring sleeping bags (and sleeping pads or air mattresses are recommended).  They’ll also have a morning program for us, and we can stay until 10 am on Sunday.  Some of the older Scouts should remember when we attended a similar program in 2020. It’ll be a great time!  More info is on the EcoTarium’s Night Journeys page (https://ecotarium.org/night-journeys/), and you can also look at last year’s FAQs. We also have information for adults who are attending (“chaperones”). The Covid testing, however, has been discontinued.

The Overnight is $60 per person (child or adult) and people can reserve their place by paying online.  Go to our Registration and Dues page (near the bottom, under “Pack 313 Online Payment”) and select the right combination of 1 and 2 people for the Worcester EcoTarium Overnight.  Include the names of all adults and children in the bottom box.  Or you can give a check (made payable to “Arlington Pack 313”) to the Cubmaster with attendees names in the Memo section.  Email me so I’ll know its on the way.

This year the EcoTarium is saving 60 places for us, and it will be great to use them all.
