COME JOIN THE FUN


Cub Scouts is an active program. Boys learn by doing, and there's no end to the fun things that Cub Scouts do in their dens, as a pack, and at special events. With activities held at every level, Cub Scouts provides a year-round program of fun and learning for boys and their families.


Cub Scout Camping:  Learn to live in the outdoors. Camping takes you on exciting adventures into the natural world.

Cub Scout Derbies: Racing in a Cub Scout derby is great fun. You'll get to design your racing vehicle, work with a parent to build it, and see it perform on race day.

The Pinewood Derby is one of the most popular and successful family activities in Cub Scouting. Pinewood derby cars are small wooden models that Cub Scouts make with help from their families. Then they race the cars in competition. The cars are powered by gravity and run down a track. Most packs have a pinewood derby every year. It can be run indoors or outdoors. Every boy can design and build his own “grand prix” car to enter in the race.

Pack 85 races its pinewood derby cars in January each year. Prizes are awarded in several categories for design and painting, and of course the big honors are won on the track. Typically, each den races several heats to determine a den winner. At the end of the night all of the den winners race for the pack championship. Finally, there are sibling and adult divisions.

The Pinewood Derby is often the highlight of a scout’s year and a great event to for extended family and close friends to attend.

Field Trips: Field Trips are a big part of Scouting. Cub Scouts get out and about with many kinds of outdoor fun, such as field trips, hikes, nature and conservation.

Service Projects: Doing service projects together is one way that Cub Scouts keep their promise "to help other people."

Den and Pack Meetings : Den meetings are the stepping-stones by which a boy progresses through the Cub Scout program. At pack meetings, families celebrate their achievements along the way.

Blue and Gold Banquets :  In February, when Scouting celebrates its "birthday," packs across the country hold blue and gold banquets. In nearly all packs, the banquet is a very special event.

Each year there are countless opportunities for the whole family to enjoy Cub Scouts!  Parents, leaders and friends play an active role as they encourage boys to live the Cub Scout Motto “Do Your Best.”
