Fox Island Cub Scouts Recruiting
New Members
Fox Island's Pack 27
Cub Scouts gathered at a recent Pack Meeting at the Nichols
center, June 20, 2023. The Cubs are
recruiting new members (boys AND girls),
including Kindergartners and First Graders. The BSA has
launched a new
program for Kindergartners, called "Lion Cubs", and
girls are now welcome
to join Cub Scouts!
 Calling all Lions, Tigers, Wolves and Bears!
Pack 27 is now recruiting boys and
girls from Kindergarten to 4th grade!
Announcing a brand new program for Kindergartners,
find out
more about the Lion Cub program.
Contact
Us to find out more about becoming a Lion Cub
Fox Island's first Lion Cubs!
The Lion Cub program is a new
Scouting program for Kindergarten boys. Like all Scouting programs,
it weaves the concepts of character development, leadership skills,
personal fitness, and citizenship into activities that are
age-appropriate and fun.
The activities introduce the family to Cub Scouting, and provide an
exciting way for the little guys & girls to explore the world around them.
The program will fuel their imagination, creativity and fun as they
experience the growth Scouting can provide.
At the end of the kindergarten year, Lions will “graduate” into Cub
Scouting as a Tiger – where even more fun and adventure will await!

Pack 27 is affiliated with
Boy Scout Troop 27,
also sponsored by FICRA.
Fox Island boys ages 7 - 10 years old are encouraged to join Pack
27,

Fox Island Sandspit Update - 2012
 The Sandspit is now open to the
public.
Visitors are encouraged to respect the privacy of neighbors, carry
out dog droppings and trash, and park in designated areas.
Continued public use of the property is dependent upon good
stewardship by the public, so please keep this area open by doing
your part to keep the sandspit clean and safe.
 Troop 27 Boy Scouts and
Crew 27's
Venturers are currently
working on trail improvements, brush removal and cleanup of the property and
storage buildings. Several Eagle Scout projects have been
underway at the spit since 2012, adding picnic tables, park benches
a new staircase to the beach, and other improvements.
Scouts from Venture Crew 27 removed moss from the roof of the old
Demolay Clubhouse building recently.
About 50 people attended the PenMet Parks Board meeting on August 20,
2012,
where they took feedback from the public regarding the
closure, and future plans for use of the property. Virtually
everyone present was supportive of keeping the spit open to the
public, except for one person.
 PenMet Board member Todd Iversen
made a motion to spend money to install improved signage at the
property, to help make people aware of the private property on
either side of the spit, and the park hours & other restrictions.
Discussion took place about the main issue concerning the neighbors;
the lack of onsite parking.
PenMet is seeking some evidence of
previous parking on the upper lot at the spit property, that will
allow the use of onsite parking in the future. If you
have photos or any recollection of cars parking there, please
contact PenMet parks.
