PACK 8 EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

Most Cub Scouts celebrate Scouting Anniversary Week in February called the "Blue and Gold Banquet". The purpose of the Blue and Gold Banquet is to celebrate the Pack's Anniversary, thank Pack Leaders and other adults who have helped the Pack, and inspire the leaders, Scouts, and parents. Packs often like to invite former members and other Scouting or community leaders to take part in their Blue and Gold Banquet. The banquet can be like a regular Pack Meeting, with songs, skits, stunts, and awards. Or it can be something different and a little more special.

There are two appropriate camping experiences for Cub Scouts: Family Camping, organized by the council, and pack overnighters. Family Camping, along with resident camping, is another timeless outdoor experience that involves Cub Scouting Program elements in an overnight setting. It requires that one or more family members attend, including at least one BSA member, to count as family camping. Youth Protection policies still apply, but of course parents are responsible for the supervision of their children. Read BSA Safety Moment Family Camping.

Become one of the millions of Cub Scouts who have been building and racing Pinewood Derby® cars since 1953. Partnering with a parent or adult mentor, Cub Scouts work together, Strengthening Bonds and Building Confidence – and their own custom race cars! They begin by choosing a car design, then carve it out and detail it with paint, decals and other accessories, and lastly, perfect strategies to compete in their pack's own Pinewood Derby®. It's a wonderful learning experience centered on Teamwork, Ingenuity, and Sportsmanship. Checkout the scoutshop.org for more details.
