Community-Organized Events

These Community-Organized events are for the Pack's broader awareness. Pack 991 Leadership does not organize these activities. Pack members do regularly join them.

These often include:

Charity Events to help our broader community
Family Camping at both Camp Snyder and Goshen Scout Reservation (premier Scout Camps)
Hike-o-Ree events, & Adventure Days, and Cub-o-Ree events (Cub Scout Camp Activities held over one day)
Bicycle Rodeos, 5K and 10K Races, and other Scout activities
Holiday and other special events (i.e., Halloween Spook-tacular and Scout Sunday)

The National Capital Area Council, Burke Lake District, and many other Scout-friendly community organizations regularly provide activities and special events for Scouts. While these are not Pack 991-coordinated events, Scouts and families may choose to do these individually, with friends, or as a Den. Information will be provided on the Pack website as it becomes available.

Past Event -Goshen Family Camping Weekend - May 24th-27th (Memorial Day weekend)

This is an opportunity to use the Goshen Scout Reservation activities with your family.

Camp Olmsted (within the Goshen Reservation set of Camps) opens up all the activities (like boating, archery, BBs, crafting, & others) in an open format. Families camp at a site of their choice and visit each of the activity locations at their leisure.

Families bring their own camping gear and food. The Camp provides the activities.

If any questions, contact Matthew Kurtz and/or Sean Tompkins. We have done these in the past two years. This a great camp location with a great series of activities available available over the long Holiday weekend.

Past Event Cub Scout Adventure Day Camp @Camp Snyder (Sept 9th, 2023) ( - Will update for the next one)

This past June some of our Scouts participated in our District’s day camp held at Occoquan Park. While it was unseasonably warm, we had a great time climbing, shooting slingshots, archery, building things, and doing scout crafts.

This event is a one-day event of activities that is similar to day-camps.

This camp is organized by volunteers from our adjacent BSA district and is not a Pack 991-leadership organized activity. If interested, more information is posted here (https://scoutingevent.com/082-Patriot23cuboree)

If any questions, contact Matthew Kurtz and/or Sean Tompkins. We have done these in the past two years. This a great camp location with a great series of activities available.

Past Event - Spook-tacular Festival at Camp Snyder (October 27th-29th)

Camp Snyder is hosting a fun weekend of activities. A "Zombie Run", archery, STEM Activities, and fall foods.

There is a inflatable bounce village that should really get the energy out of our Scouts.

Families can camp together at Camp Snyder for $15 per person. If not familiar, the camp provides the campsite, showers, water, and other basic amenities. Families bring their food, tents, and basic camping gear.
