August 21-24

Ahoy, Cub Scouts! Get ready to set sail for adventure at Camp Edward from August 21-24 for Castaway Bay, a pirate-themed summer camp packed with excitement! Prepare to hoist the sails, explore uncharted waters, and seek out hidden treasure as you take part in classic summer camp fun.

Scouts will enjoy archery, BB guns, crafts, nature hikes, swimming, boating, and even a climbing wall! Plus, there’s plenty of time for campfires, skits, relay races, and lake adventures. In years past, Scouts have completed around 20% of their annual advancement requirements while having an absolute blast.

📍 Location: Camp Edward, 25600-B Monroe Camp Rd, Snohomish, WA
💰 Cost:

Parents are welcome and encouraged to join in—and they have almost as much fun as the Scouts! Every parent who's attended has returned, proving just how amazing the experience is. This 4-day overnight camp is run by the council, meaning all meals and activities are planned—just bring your gear and your best pirate spirit! Tigers are welcome too!

So grab your eye patch, practice your best “Arrr!” and get ready for a swashbuckling summer adventure! 🌊🏴‍☠️🔥🏹🚣‍♂️

Honoring Moms with a Special Gift! 🌸💐 

This Mother’s Day, our Cub Scouts will be spreading joy by handing out potted flowers after Sunday services to celebrate all the wonderful moms and mother figures in our lives!

This is a great way for Scouts to show appreciation and give back to the community with a simple but meaningful gesture. Families are encouraged to come out and support as we share smiles, gratitude, and beautiful blooms!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there! 💕🌷

Start your engines and get ready for the Pinewood Derby on May 3rd! Scouts will race their hand-crafted cars down the track, competing for speed, creativity, and fun. Whether you're aiming for the fastest time or the most unique design, this is a day for all Scouts to shine! Cheer on your fellow racers, enjoy the excitement, and see whose car takes the checkered flag. Families are welcome to join in the fun—don’t miss this thrilling Cub Scout tradition! 🏁🚗🎉 

March 15: Spreading the Word

This Saturday, our Cub Scouts hit the streets to kick off our annual Scouting for Food drive! Scouts will be placing door hangers on homes throughout the community, letting everyone know about this important effort to fight hunger. These reminders will encourage neighbors to set out non-perishable food donations, which we’ll return to collect next weekend. Keep an eye out for a door hanger and get ready to make a difference! 

March 22: Collecting Donations

The time has come! This weekend, our Cub Scouts will be back in the neighborhood to pick up the food donations left outside by our generous community members. Every can, box, and bag collected will go directly to local food banks, helping families in need. 

Last year, Pack 793 collected more donations than any other scout unit in West Seattle - over 1,100 lbs - and this year we're hoping to best that record.  In addition to the scouts picking up from doorsteps, we'll also have a pickup point at West Seattle high school for families who aren't in our pickup area.

Thank you for supporting Scouting for Food—together, we’re making a big impact!

Get Ready for Summer!

Gear up for adventure! Join us as our Cub Scout Pack kicks off summer with a fun-filled Bike Rodeo! We'll start at 6:00 PM with a bike safety check to ensure everyone’s gear is ready to roll. Lion Scouts will need a parent present as they join Tiger and Wolf Scouts in practicing bike skills on the blacktop at Holy Rosary, while Bear, Webelos, and Arrow of Light Scouts will take on longer rides after their safety check. Parents and siblings are welcome to join in the fun—so bring your bikes, helmets, and enthusiasm for an evening of riding, learning, and adventure! 🚴‍♂️🌞

Raceday is Saturday, April 22 at the Holy Rosary Gym. 

• Registration: We will open the doors at 10 AM and register cars until 11 AM. 

• Qualification: All scouts, adults, friends, and siblings can register their cars (per the rules Pack793 follows) before 11 AM.

• Snacks: We will have a snack shack open!

• Voting/Prizes: We will be voting on the best design, paint job, etc. 

• Race Heats: Each Scout will race within their den, and adults/friends/siblings will race amongst their specific group.

• Unable to attend? If your scout cannot make the 11 AM race start time, you can drop off the car, register it, and we will ensure your car is raced at the appropriate time. We will hold some post-race runs so your scout can be there to see their car cruise down the track.

Here's your chance to work with a veteran pit crew and make sure your Pinewood Derby car is ready for the big race in April.

We will set up the official race track, so Scouts can try some practice runs, as well as weigh and fine-tune their cars. This is a good idea since it can help find and fix any speed problems. We will have the official tournament scale available, so you can potentially save time at check-in on race day too.

Be sure to read the Pinewood Derby rules and make sure your car complies.

Let's Help Our Community!

The first Saturday, we drop off door hangers at each house in our area, and come back on the second Saturday to pick up bags of food. Then we bring the food to the West Seattle Food Bank, and help restock their shelves. It is a great way for us to get involved in a little community service.

As with all Pack events, feel free to invite your friends and siblings are welcome too!

The Blue & Gold Dinner is our yearly Pack celebration of the anniversary of Scouting. We celebrate by bringing our families together for great food and entertainment by our Cub Scouts. We also take time during the evening to recognize the hard work and advancement of our Scouts. The Blue & Gold is always lots of fun.

This event is over, but we invite you to our next event, check our calendar to see what's coming up.
