Cub Scouts aims to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices by instilling the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Cub Scouting is fun! Hiked?

The program emphasizes character development, citizenship, personal fitness, and leadership while fostering a sense of community No matter what grade you are in, first through fifth, it can be a blast. Do you like to learn by doing? This is just the place. You can learn to tie knots, set up a tent, shoot a bow and arrow (archery). Have you ever cooked a meal on a campfire? Sent a secret code to a buddy? Built a birdhouse? Played Ultimate? Earn rewards for doing these things in Cub Scouts. Cub Scouts Belong to Packs and Dens

As a Cub Scout, you will be part of your own pack. The pack is divided into smaller groups called dens. Each den has about six to eight boys. All of the Cub Scouts in your den are in the same grade and may even go to the same school. The Cub Scout pack belongs to a church, a school, or some other group of people in your community or neighborhood. This group makes sure your pack has good adult leaders, a place to meet, and exciting things to do. The group gets help from the Boy Scouts of America, which is part of Scouting around the world. Cub Scouts Do Things and Go Places

Have you been to the local police station and talked to the policemen on duty? Or visited the fire station and sat in the driver's seat of the pumper truck? Or visited the local TV station and sat in the news anchor's chair? These are some of the places you might go with your den or pack. You might also build a pinewood derby car and race it on the track, build a sailboat or trimaran and race it in the raingutter regatta, or build a spaceship and race it to the stars in the pack space derby. Cub Scouts Earn Awards

Each time you complete an accomplishment or learn a new skill, you will be rewarded. Sometimes the reward is a bead or a patch. Sometimes it is a smile on your parents' faces to see you grow and learn.

Tonight, Pack 885 celebrated our Crossover Ceremony!

We are incredibly proud of all of our Scouts for their hard work, growth, and achievements throughout the year. Each Scout took another step forward on their Scouting journey, and it was wonderful to celebrate their accomplishments together.

A special congratulations goes to our Arrow of Light Scouts, as they cross over into Scouts BSA. This milestone marks the end of their Cub Scout adventure and the beginning of an exciting new chapter. We wish them the very best as they continue their Scouting journey and know they will do great things.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our Scout parents and families. Your support, encouragement, and dedication make these experiences possible for our Scouts.

Finally, a very special thank you to our volunteer leaders. Your countless hours of planning meetings, organizing events, teaching skills, and supporting our youth do not go unnoticed. Pack 885 is stronger because of your commitment, and we are grateful for everything you do.

Congratulations to all of our Scouts on another successful year—we can’t wait to see what adventures await next!

Our Scouts of Pack 885 honored our nation’s flag by participating in a Flag Retirement Ceremony.

When an American flag becomes worn, faded, or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired in a respectful and dignified manner. Through this ceremony, our Scouts learned about the importance of showing respect for the flag and the values it represents.

We are proud of our Scouts for their maturity, reverence, and dedication as they carried out this meaningful tradition. Thank you to everyone who helped make this special Flag Day observance possible.

Happy Flag Day from Pack 885! 🇺🇸

“May we always remember that the flag represents not only our nation, but the people and ideals that make it strong.”

*We added a few more pictures from our flag retirement ceremony this weekend, they were too good to leave them out!
