Cub Scout Pack 153, in Mt. Juliet, is giving back in a big way in 2022-2023! The Pack leadership decided that their 65th Pack anniversary should be a year of community service. They kicked off their Pack year with a different theme each month.
In August, Pack 153 had a Pencil Drive for the teachers at Mt. Juliet Elementary School, a Book Drive in September, and “Socktober” in October where they will have a sock and underwear drive for the school in case of accidents throughout the school year.
The Pack will also be doing a food drive in November and then an “Adopt a Teacher” month in December where they will be giving teachers baskets with gifts and supplies to help them through the rest of the year.
Stephanie Jensen, the Pack Committee Chair, said they know that Scouting is about building the community and teaching Scouts to give back. There is no question that the Mt. Juliet community is better because of the hard work and dedication of the Scouts and leaders of Pack 153.

Does your unit have an equipment trailer? If you do, be sure you pay careful attention to the task of properly securing your trailer when not in use to prevent theft. In addition to the cost of the trailer itself, the replacement of equipment and sometimes personal items may be several thousand dollars, as well as a major inconvenience if you were about to use the trailer on an outing.

These events are for newly joined Scouts, in different locations throughout the Council for your convenience. The focus is for every new Scout to have an opportunity to do what we know they would like to do the most, shoot BBs and Bows. This is a quick, well organized event that is facilitated by a trained range safety officer.

Are YOU prepared for the Middle Tennessee Council’s premier one-day core and supplemental training event coming up Saturday, November 12 at
Holy Family Catholic Church in Brentwood, TN
The University of Scouting (UoS) is Middle Tennessee Council’s premier one-day supplemental training opportunity for all registered adult Scout leaders. UoS goes beyond Fast Start, Specific, and even Advance Training to give Scout Leaders the knowledge and skills on specific topics that will help them in their efforts to deliver the promise of Scouting. The UoS goal is to provide information that is practical, and immediately useful, on topics that are not readily available at the local unit level. UoS Instructors have skills and insights that have been developed through years of Scouting experience. UoS is also a great opportunity to network with other Scout leaders, make new friends, and share best practices across the Council. We welcome all Scouts, Scouters, parents, and potential Scouters to join us for a full day of learning and fun.
