October Pack Meeting - October 22nd - 7PM (Arrival starting at 6:40)

Campfire @ Camp Bullowa (Rah Rah Bullowa)

Come and learn what Cub Scouting is all about.  Talk to other scouts and leaders.

Since its beginning, the Cub Scout program has been a fun and educational experience concerned with values. Besides providing a positive place where boys can enjoy safe, wholesome activities, Cub Scouting focuses on building character, improving physical fitness, teaching practical skills, and developing a spirit of community service.

New photos from recent pack events have been added to the site.

Please contact Anthony Gonidakis to submit photos to be uploaded.

Thanks,

Mission

The purpose of the Pinewood Derby is to provide a positive experience for the Pack, the scouts, and the parents with the emphasis on the scouts.  It’s an opportunity for the scouts to have fun while learning some basic woodworking skills, basic principles of physics, and participating in a fair competition; but a competition nonetheless.  This is an emotional night and only a few scouts will win trophies.  The emphasis of the Pinewood Derby should be on the experience of building the car and participating in the event, not just the final results.  Have fun!!
