Major Events

Throughout the year the Cub Scouts have a lot of fun with their grade-specific Dens, but our favorite activities are when the whole Pack comes together. Below are a few of our major annual events.

Fall & Spring Family Campouts

Pack 59 organizes two family camping trips each year at nearby BSA camps and state parks. Usually held in November and March, the campouts feature hiking, fishing, Campfire songs, and a lot of fun cooking and eating. Other highlights include Scout skits and songs, dutch-oven cooking contests, s’mores, and more!

Pinewood Derby

The Pinewood Derby is one of the most popular annual activities in Cub Scouting. Pinewood derby cars are small wooden models that Cub Scouts design, make, and decorate with help from their family and Scout leaders.  The cars race down an indoor track where they compete for the fastest time by Den and ultimately the Pack Grand Prix!  Additional awards are given for best design, most creative, and most ‘Scouty.’

Bike Rodeo

Each Spring as our Cub Scouts grow, we teach them about road and bike safety – – and challenge them to show off their skills and speed.  All Scouts are encouraged to participate, whether they’re racing through the course, or still getting comfortable with their training wheels. All that’s required are Helmets and an attitude for fun!
