Scout Sunday

Pack 76 Troop 76 celebrated Scout Sunday at Christ Church, with Cub Scouts demonstrating and earning their "Duty to God" rank requirement, and senior Scouts offering their support. The troop extends a heartfelt thank you to Fr. Trevor for his blessing of our scouts, to Christ Church and its members, as well as the dedicated Scout leadership, for making the event so special.

Scout Sunday Coffee Hour

Troop 76 of Pack 76 was delighted to host Sunday's coffee hour at Christ Church!  We gathered after the service to celebrate scouting, share stories (thanks Anne Devlin for your wonderful story), and enjoy some delicious treats. It was a great opportunity for Scouts and their families to connect with the church community.
We're so grateful to the parish for their continued generosity in allowing us to use this wonderful space for our Troop 76 Scout gatherings. It means the world to us. Thank you to everyone who came out to support our troop – we truly appreciate it!

Did You Know?

Super Bowl LVIII is almost here! Get ready for a day of touchdowns, touchdowns, and more touchdowns! Whether you're in it for the game, the commercials, or the halftime show, enjoy the excitement of Super Bowl Sunday!
Here are some fun facts to get you in the spirit:

1. The Super Bowl is the second-highest eating day for Americans (behind Thanksgiving)
The food you eat on Super Bowl Sunday is one of the best parts of this day. How much do people eat exactly? Well, just as one example, about 8 million pounds of guacamole is consumed on Super Bowl Sunday. That's a lot of avocados!
2. The Green Bay Packers were the first team to ever win a Super Bowl
In 1967, the first Super Bowl was held and the Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10. The first Super Bowl MVP was Packers quarterback Bart Starr. The game was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and about 60 million people watched the broadcast on TV. Today, that number is around 100 million.
3. 12 NFL teams have never won the Super Bowl (4 have never even been)
The Detroit Lions almost made it to their first Super Bowl this year, only to lose to the Niners by 3 points in the NFC Championship Game. Ouch. As it stands now, the four teams that have never even been to a Super Bowl are the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions, and Cleveland Browns. The other seven teams who have been and lost are the Minnesota Vikings (4 appearances), Buffalo Bills (4), Atlanta Falcons (2), Carolina Panthers (2), Arizona Cardinals (1), Tennessee Titans (1), and Los Angeles Chargers (1).
4. The University of California is the school which produced the most Super Bowl QBs
The University of California at Berkeley is the top school for producing quarterbacks that start in the Super Bowl. The most recent was Jared Goff in 2019 (Rams) and before that was Joe Kapp, Craig Morton, Vince Ferragamo, and Aaron Rodgers. Alabama (Bart Starr, Joe Namath, Kenny Stabler), Notre Dame (Daryle Lamonica, Joe Montana, Joe Theismann), and Purdue (Len Dawson, Bob Griese, Drew Brees) rank second with three Super Bowl quarterbacks each.
5. The NFL doesn't pay bands/artists for performing at the halftime show
You would think artists would be paid big for a gig like this, but nay. The NFL only covers the expenses and production costs, but does not pay the performers themselves. Even Queen Bey herself was not paid a penny to perform in the Super Bowl. What they do get is exposure, and lots of it. Millions of people are tuned in, often even more so than to the actual game. After the 2020 halftime show, Shakira's Spotify streams went up by 230% and Jennifer Lopez' went up by 335%. So, the artists end up benefitting quite a bit anyway.
6. The NFL won't hold Super Bowls in cold stadiums
The NFL has traditionally not held the Super Bowl in stadiums with a climate of less than 50 degrees Farenheit unless it is covered or has a retractable roof. That is why most of them are held in warm-weather cities, 11 of the 55 being in Miami. Only four have been held in northern cities.
7. A special coin is used for the coin toss
This is the Super Bowl we're talking about. Everything is over-the-top and that includes the coin toss. A quarter simply will not do, I say! Thus, Highland Mint crafts a specific unique coin to use for the toss, with an image of the Lombardi Trophy to signify "heads" and another image representing the current Super Bowl for "tails".
