The Scout Scoop
UPDATED: Fall Camp out

Find your campsite, download this.

The fall campout is sold out.  We have a couple families that have not paid and a waiting list has been started.  We currently have a little over 50 families going to the campout.  During the upcoming days I will be grouping the dens together for camp assignments.  I know that I was not going to do it this year but, because of our numbers I will have to group the families to make 8 people per site.

A complete schedule will is online on the packs calendar page.  The day of the camp out Lalen will be going to the park early and getting the sites.  As soon as I have site numbers you will be able to come back to the website to get your campsite numbers.  We will have them at the headquarters site as well.

Don't forget to do your Rain Gutter Regatta boats in a pirate theme for the contest and there is a pumpkin decorating contest and dens have to supply there own pumpkins for the contest... one pumpkin per den is allowed in the contest.

All of the information about the camp out can be found at ... http://mypack1550.org/apps/calendar/view.php/243/Fall_Campout

Cub Scouts

Cub Scouting means "doing." Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things. Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting-citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Many of the activities happen right in the den and pack. The most important are the weekly den meetings and the monthly pack meetings.

Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and contribute to a boy's sense of belonging.

Join Us in Cub Scouting!

Cub Scout Promise

I, (name), promise to do my best

To do my duty to God and my country,

To help other people, and

To obey the Law of the Pack.

 

Law of the Pack

The Cub Scout follows Akela.

The Cub Scout helps the pack go.

The pack helps the Cub Scout grow.

The Cub Scout gives goodwill.

   

Cub Scout Motto

Do Your Best

What Is Cub Scouting?

If you are a boy in first grade through fifth grade—or you're 7 to 10 years old—then Cub Scouting is for you. It's for your family, too. This is the first and the biggest of the three Scouting programs (Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing) from the Boy Scouts of America.

Cub Scouts Belong to Packs and Dens.

Every Cub Scout is a member of a Cub Scout Pack. A Pack is a large group of boys.

The Pack is divided into smaller groups called Dens. Each Den has about six to eight boys. All of the Cub Scouts in a Den are about the same age and live in the same neighborhood.

The Cub Scout Pack is chartered by a church, a school, or some other group of people in your community or neighborhood. This group makes sure your Pack has good adult leaders, a place to meet, and exciting things to do. The group gets help from the Boy Scouts of America, which is part of Scouting around the world.
