Planned activities

So MUCH TO DO!

Throughout the year, the Pack Committee and interested parents meet monthly to plan fun and exciting activities for our Scouts and their families. Here are some of the activities that we typically do each year:

Blast Into Scouting (August/September)

Scouts prepare their model rocket ahead of time and we meet to watch them launch (and then chase them down).

Fall Party (October)

Dress up in your favorite costume, have fun and get candy from the Trunk or Treat parking area.

Fun N' Stuff and Bowling (December)

Sell popcorn and get rewarded with a free evening and the local indoor play area
Spend an afternoon at the lanes as we break up the winter blues with some fun bowling!

Pinewood Derby (January - February)

The Scouts will turn a simple block of pine into a race-worthy work of art. The pack will serve a light lunch as we "go to the RACES!"

Blue and Gold Banquet (February)

The Blue and Gold Banquet will honor our leaders and celebrate scouting.

Family Campout at Manatoc (May)

An annual family favorite, we will campout at the Manatoc Scout Reservation (choice of cabin accommodations or you may bring your own tent)

Memorial Day Weekend

Each year, Pack 67 helps the VFW place flags on every veteran's grave at Crown Hill. The Scouts can learn more about the sacrifice these brave men and women have made.
On Memorial Day, all Scouts are invited to march in the Twinsburg Memorial Day Parade from the High School to Twinsburg Township Square where a moving Memorial Day ceremony is held.

Blast Into Souting

As the summer winds down, Pack 67 is eager to welcome the cubs back to scouting. To generate excitement and get the scouts together, we host a rocket launch event where the scouts build their on rockets (from a kit) and meet to launch them. It's an exciting day!

The Pinewood Derby

The Pinewood Derby is a racing event. Scouts, with the help of parents, build their own cars from wood, usually from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels, and metal axles. Pack 67 usually hosts the Pinewood Derby in January of each year. Car kits are sent home in late November.

The Blue & Gold Banquet

Each year around March, Pack 67 holds the annual Blue & Gold Banquet. Blue and gold banquets are a tradition within packs, celebrating the leaders and parents who volunteer to make Cub Scouting fantastic. Sometimes former pack members return to blue and gold banquets. Often special Scouting or community leaders are invited to attend or speak to Cub Scouts in attendance. Some packs also use the banquet as a chance to celebrate the accomplishments of Scouts, themselves.

The Raingutter Regatta

The raingutter regatta is a racing event for Cub Scouts in the Boy Scouts of America that is the sailboat equivalent of the pinewood derby. The sailboat kit consists of a seven-inch (178 mm) long balsa wood hull, a 6-1/2 inch mast, plastic sail, plastic rudder, and metal keel. Within the basic design rules, Scouts are free to paint and decorate their sailboats as they choose. Modifications for speed include the placement of the keel and rudder and the size, shape and location of the sail.

The boats are raced in a standard rain gutter that is ten feet long, placed on a table or saw horses, and filled to the top with water. The boats are propelled by blowing on the sail, either directly or through a drinking straw; the boat cannot be touched with hands or the straw. The first boat to reach the end of the gutter is the winner.
