| Pack 1776 is composed boys 1st through 5th grade in the East Cobb County area of Atlanta, Georgia. We are sponsored and located at the Catholic Church of St. Ann’s located at 4905 Roswell Rd. Marietta, GA 30062. While our Pack draws scouts from Shallowford Falls Elementary School at the church, we have many families who attend private schools or are home schooled. We invite Scouts and families of all faiths to join. | Our Mission: A quality, fun-filled program designed to develop responsible citizenship and strong moral character through physical, intellectual, social and spiritual growth.

As promised, here is the Powerpoint I used for the New Parent Orientation on August 26, 2010
Hello fellow 1776 Scout Parents, it’s time to start planning the trip to DeSoto Caverns. We’re very excited about this trip and feel it will be a very different and very exciting adventure for the boys. The trip will involve not only the adventures of family friendly caving and sleeping overnight in the cave but also 10 amusement park type activities that are appropriate for all ages. The date for this event is November 13th and the planned arrival time will be around 12 noon. However, we may adjust this up or down a bit as we nail down the planning a bit more.
Please email your Den/Patrol leader with your families intention of attending this event with the information below. Please send this to me by Monday September 6th. This is initial planning information and is not a hard commitment at this point. We’ll target a final date for commitment by the next Pack meeting.
If you’d like to know more about the Caverns and the activities they have, please visit their site: DeSoto Caverns.
