Today our Bear den earned their whittling badge. Focusing on knives, knife safety, proper techniques and the importance of using a knife with supervision. Scouts have been looking forward to this badge all year.

🔬🥤 Bear Den Super Science Badge

Our Needham Pack 4 Bear Den had an explosive (and educational!) afternoon earning their Super Science adventure badge.

The scouts ran the classic Mentos + soda geyser experiment, turning it into a real science investigation. Each group of scouts came up with a hypothesis about which soda would create the biggest eruption and then tested it using different soda types — including Coke vs. Pepsi.

In total we launched about:

🥤 744 ounces of soda (about 5.8 gallons)
🍬 Two Costco cases of Mentos — roughly 600+ individual Mentos used for experiments

The scouts worked in teams to:
• Form a hypothesis
• Run the experiment
• Observe the results
• Compare eruptions between soda types

Some eruptions were much bigger than others!

We also practiced Leave No Trace by cleaning up the entire area so it looked just like it did before we arrived.

👏 14 Bear Scouts participated and all earned their Super Science badge.

Science + teamwork + a little bit of soda geyser chaos = a great learning!

This past week, the scouts of Needham Pack 4 had a great time working together on a meaningful service project with Hope And Comfort, a Needham nonprofit dedicated to providing hygiene products to people in need.

Our scouts rotated through several assembly stations, working as a team to pack hygiene kits and help prepare supplies for distribution. The kids had a blast while learning how small acts of service can make a big difference.

Thanks to their hard work, Pack 4 packed 168 hygiene kits and helped assemble a full pallet of more than 7,500 laundry detergent sheets! These supplies will soon go out to youth and families across Massachusetts who are facing hygiene insecurity.

Hope & Comfort’s mission is to ensure sustained access to hygiene products so that children and adults can maintain their health, dignity, and confidence. In Massachusetts alone, an estimated 2.3 million people struggle to afford essential hygiene products because programs like SNAP cannot be used to purchase them.

Service is a core part of Scouting, and we are proud of our scouts for stepping up to help others in our community.

A big thank you to Hope & Comfort for the opportunity and for the incredible work they do every day!

👏 Great job Pack 4!

We are so proud to share that 9 Cub Scouts from Needham Pack 4 were among the Top 100 popcorn sellers in the Spirit of Adventure Council and earned an awesome reward — a trip to Dave & Buster’s for being top sellers in the Council! 🥳

The Spirit of Adventure Council serves over 75 communities and towns across the Greater Boston area, giving thousands of Scouts amazing opportunities for adventure and leadership all year long. 

✨ All Scouts who participated in the popcorn sale will receive special patches at our next Pack meeting — wear them proudly! ✨
