Cub Scout Pack 700

13 Scouts, and 12 adult leaders and parents of Pack 700, participated in the Overnight Crew program aboard the USS Pampanito at Pier 45 in San Francisco.  The USS Pampanito is a Diesel-Electric, Balao class, submarine that was active in the Pacific Theatre during WWII.  It is also the same submarine used in the movie Periscope Down!  We were given a dock-side tour where we learned the history of the Pampanito.  We boarded the ship and stowed our gear into our bunks.  And then we did what any WWII submariner could have only dreamed of…  We ordered PIZZA!  We all stayed up too late.  And we all woke too early, as you can tell from some of faces in the pictures  :-)  Everybody had a great time!

Johnathon D, Ethan G, Alex H, and Ryan F represented Pack 700 this year at the 2008 Quicksilver District Pinewood Derby.  All the boys did very well and finished in the top 10 in their categories.  About 55 boys from all over the Santa Clara County Council, Quicksilver district, raced.  All the boys had a great time and received a pinewood derby patch as a token of their participation.  LED Flashlights, carabiners, and compasses were among the goodies handed out if your name called out during the raffle during breaks in the race action.  Popcorn, Licorice, and lemonade was plentiful to keep the racers fueled for the event.  Congratulations to all the racers!
