Major Events
Throughout the year the Scouts have a lot of fun, but our favorite activities are when the whole Pack comes together for a memorable event. Below are a few of our major annual events.
Fall & Spring Family Campouts
Our pack sponsors two family camping trips each year at nearby campgrounds. Usually held during weekends 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 contest, and more!
Pinewood Derby
The Pinewood Derby is one of the most popular and successful family activities in Cub Scouting. Pinewood derby cars are small wooden models that Cub Scouts make with help from their families. The Scouts gather together to race them in the Pinewood Derby competition. The cars are powered by gravity and run down an indoor track where they compete in heats.
Prizes are awarded in several categories including top 3 in each Den, top 3 in the Pack, best design and “most-Scouting.”
Bike Rodeo
Each Spring as our Cub Scouts grow, we teach them about road and bike safety – – and challenge them to show 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!
