Hopewell Pack 8

Hopewell Pack 8 Being a Cub Scout means you are a member of a worldwide youth movement that stands for certain values and beliefs. Cub Scouting is more than something to do.

It's all about the person you are and the person you will become. What Do Scouts Do? Some of the best things about Cub Scouting are the activities the boys and girls (and sometimes you) get to do: camping, hiking, racing model cars, going on field trips, or doing projects that help our community and the people who live here. Cub Scouting means "doing." All our activities are designed to have the b

oys and girls doing something and by "doing" they learn some very valuable life lessons. Do the Parents Have a Role? Yes. As a program for the entire family, Cub Scouting can teach your child a wholesome system of values and beliefs while building and strengthening relationships among family members. Scouting gives you a platform to equip your child. We provide other mentors to help your kids grow but you are also an important part of their development in scouting. Your role decreases as your child gets older. But your role in the troop can be passive. We don't expect a parent to leap right in. But, be warned, Cub Scouting might touch you as it touches your child and you might eventually get 'the fever' that many of our leaders got from Scouting. But you are encouraged to go at your own pace.

Pack 8 Blue and Gold 2026! Thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated a great year in scouting! We made so many memories and learned so much! The scouts earned so many new loops that we finished our blue and gold by the scouts building belt loop holders to take home to display all of their hard work!

Pack 8 takes on the aquarium!!! We packed our bags and headed for a sleep over with the fishes! We had so much fun learning about animals and their environment, and we learned how we can help protect them. We also had the opportunity to touch sting rays, sharks, horseshoe crabs, and more! We created lots of memories and shared a lot of laughs!

We are so proud of our cubs and thankful for our families who came together last night to mulch the flower beds at Hopewell United Methodist Church. The church has been a wonderful and welcoming host to our pack long before our time there, and we are so fortunate to be able to give this act of service as a thank you! Great job pack 8!

We were honered today to be a part of the wreath laying ceremony at Hopewell United Methodist Church. The Wreaths Across America service they hold is a breautiful tribute to the men and women who serve and protect us. We were proud that 7 of our pack 8 families and 3 of our den cheifs from Troop 8 came out today to participate in the service. We hope that you all find a way to honor, remember and teach.

Happy Veterans Day!! Last night we celebrated our veterans with a very special presentation from 3 of our Dads who are veterans. Thank you Mr. Robinson, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Muir for your service and for coming in to teach us about veterans. We then wrote out cards and colored pictures to send to our troops for the holidays.
