Our pack participates in several events over the course of the year.  These include the Pinewood Derby, Water Wars, the Raingutter Regatta, and a pack camping trip.  We also support Scouting for Food and many Cub Scouts participate in fundraising by selling popcorn.

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. Then they race the cars in competition. The cars are powered by gravity and run down a track. Most packs have a pinewood derby every year. It can be run indoors or outdoors. Every boy can design and build his own "grand prix" car to enter in the race.

Raingutter Regatta
In the raingutter regatta, boats race down a narrow channel. There are two versions. The wind-powered version uses sailboat designs, and the boats are blown down the channel. The propeller-powered version uses motorboats driven by propeller.

Water Wars
During the summer, the pack will host this event to keep everyone cool!  Cub Scouts come ready to get wet with water balloons and water guns!

Camping
Camping takes you on exciting adventures into the natural world. Cub Scouts learn to live with others in the out-of-doors. They learn to be good citizens of the outdoors.

Camping is fun, and it's good for the mind, body, and spirit. It helps boys learn to rely on themselves—on their own skills and knowledge. When boys go camping as a Cub Scout, they get skills they will learn and use more, later, as a Boy Scout.

Cub Scout camping has day camps, resident camps, Webelos den overnight campouts, family camps, and pack overnighters.

Scouting for Food

Across the country, in many councils and districts, thousands of troops and packs with millions of scouts involved collect tens of millions of pounds of food which is distributed to needy neighbors.  On a designated day, scouts deliver paper bags with instructions to doorsteps throughout area neighborhoods.  A week later, the scouts canvas the same area to pick up any bags filled with food items that have been set out.  These items are then delivered to the local food bank.

Cub Scouts may participate in the pack selling of popcorn.  This fundraising event returns 70% of all sales to the local pack!
