Activities:
We have year round activities keep the boys interested and motivated. This includes weekly den meetings, monthly pack meetings, hikes and camp fires. Our big activities for year are derby races and the Blue & Gold Banquet.
Community Service:
With Cub Scouts being an organization that promotes assistance and benefiting the community, we particiapte in service projects. These range from Christmas Carols at the Senior Citizen Center to base clean up projects.
Parent Involvement:
As with any Youth activity, parents are the first and most valuable step. We understand that not all of you may become registered leaders, but their are several activities where your help is going to be greatly appreciated. Especially seeing your scouts face when mom or dad are helping them with a project or handing them an award for something that the two of you accomplished.
Fundraising:
To support pack and den activities the boys will participate in various fund raisers from paying 'Den Dues' ($45.00-$60.00 annually) to our bigger fund raiser for the year-National Popcorn Sales through the Trails-End Company.
