Pack 40 had an exciting fall, full of outdoor fun and community engagement. In September, scouts gathered at Makani Olu Ranch for the Welcome Back Camp, where they learned fire safety and how to start a fire with flint and steel, led by Webelos den leaders Kawika Beauchamp & Paul Petro. After roasting s’mores and sharing campfire jokes, they enjoyed a refreshing swim in the Waikapu River to close out the day. The Pack also supported the community through a fundraiser at Maui Lani Ace Hardware, where scouts sold popcorn and raised funds for the Aloha Council, thanks to generous local donations. In October, Pack 40 teamed up with 4-H and the Boy Scouts for a fun-filled Trunk or Treat Extravaganza, where scouts enjoyed trick-or-treating at creatively decorated trunks. These activities provided scouts with valuable skills, a deeper connection to nature, and an opportunity to contribute to their community.
