Pack camping trip (typically twice per year;  in fall & spring)

Carnival Night (December)

Join the scouts for a fun night of games – all designed and organized by the Bear scouts (3rd graders).

Pinewood Derby (January)

In the Pinewood Derby, one of the most famous and memorable events in cub scouting, scouts build and decorate their own race cars. The fastest cars race at the District Race.  It’s not all about speed though.  There are awards for the best paint job, best off-roading vehicle, the car the cubmaster most wants to eat, most patriotic, etc.

Science and engineering challenge, aka Egg Drop Night (April)

Who wouldn’t like to drop eggs from a height and see if they crack?  This night is about using a limited bundle of household materials to build an egg “protector” and drop it from a height and see what happens.  It can get messy!

Graduation and picnic at Vasona Park (May)

Families gather for a BBQ dinner, some fun games, and awards.  Scouts who have completed all their required adventures will be awarded their rank badge.
