February – Blue & Gold Ceremony
Blue & Gold are the official boy scout colors. This event celebrates the anniversary of scouting. Generally, at the Blue & Gold ceremony, scouts will have earned their rank and are awarded it at this ceremony. It is also a time when our 5th grade Webelo IIs ‘bridge’ over to become boy scouts. It is a very touching and meaningful ceremony. We always celebrate with a feast and fanfare.
March – Pinewood Derby
This is where the boys (and anyone else) get to show off the derby car they made. We award for Best in Show and for Speed. We do NOT have a normal pack meeting during the pinewood derby.
April – Cub Master Surprise Pack Meeting
The Cub Master generally plans some fun events for the boys that follow typical pack meeting events.
May – Pack Graduation
This is where the boys officially move from one rank to the next. All awards and recognitions happen a little differently as the boys are prepared for their next rank.
Summer –
During June, July and August we try to get the pack together once each month. Various events can be planned including cook-outs, camping, hiking, swimming, picnic, etc.
