Cub Scout Pack 167 participates in a number of activities throughout the year:
-
Scout for a Day and Welcome Back Picnic: Held in September at Kanemoto Park, this event is to welcome back returning scouts and sign up new scouts.
-
Rain Gutter Regatta: May be held once during the summer and once in early fall, scouts build and race wood sail boats in the rain gutter.
-
Cub Haunted Weekend Camp Out: Held in the beginning of October, scouts spend two days and one night at Boy Scout camp by Red Feather Lakes. The boys participate in a number of activities and go through the Haunted House that Boy Scouts prepare for them.
-
Pinewood Derby: The Pinewood Derby is held in early February and District finals are held at the Scout Show in April. The Derby was started in the 50's to promote sportsmanship and craftsmanship and to promote the building of a stronger bond between fathers and sons. Today, the goal is the same but we want the whole family involved! For more info visit www.pinewoodderby.org. -
