With many Pack Leaders due to PCS in the near future, there will be some key volunteer positions within the pack becoming available with some positions available now. The available positions are listed on the Pack Leadership page on the pack website with role descriptions of all positions. If anyone is interested in volunteering for a position, please check out the pack website or come and see myself (the Cubmaster) or any member of the Pack Committee.
Don’t forget to turn in the Cub Scout Summertime Adventure 2026 form by August 27 if possible.

Tip of the Month
As the 2026/27 scouting year has officially commenced, it's time to look ahead to an exciting year of scouting. Please keep an eye on the Pack website for Council, Pack and Den activities over the year. Please don't forget to turn in the Health Care Forms to your Den Leader or myself preferably by then den meeting on 08/20. It is a requirement from the Aloha Council that all scouts and their parents that will be in attendance at Council, Pack and Den activities complete a health form annually. The health care forms can be found in the Resources section of the Pack website at the top right of the page if you didn't receive one at the Pack meeting on 08/13.
Thank you, everyone, for being part of Pack 304. We look forward to many fun activities planned throughout the year.
Points of Interest
The Scout Life website has a few useful articles related to outdoor adventures and ways to keep the scouts entertained over the summer break that I thought would be good to share.
· How to get started with stand-up paddle boarding
· How to build a mini-golf course
Please click on this link for the Scout Life website that has many more ideas for fun activities to do with your scout/s.
Many thanks to our volunteer Pack Leaders who work hard to create the best adventure for our cub scouts! If you would like to be volunteer for a position within the pack, please contact one of our leaders!
Thank you also to the parents of the scouts for dedicating so much of your time to your scouts’ journey.
Mahalo, Josh.
