In February 2023, Pack 8 had an overnight adventure at Old Sturbridge Village, where we learned about life in the early 1800s.
Our pack meeting and event calendars contain a full year of activities. Whether the theme is gratitude during the holiday season or bicycle safety in springtime, we strive to implement a program that resonates with events occurring in Scouts' daily lives.
