First pack meeting for returning scouts to kick off the new school year!

Community service..........one of the things we pride ourselves on! In the past few years, Pack 179 has blown away collection numbers with Scouting for Food and also helped collect and assemble backpacks and supplies for those in need. Last fall we also tried out feeding those in need by making sandwiches as part of the Feed the City effort by TangoTab! The boys had a blast doing this and it feels GOOD to help others that need it!

SCHOOL Night for Scouts is coming soon! Stay tuned here for updates on the exact date! We are aiming for end of August. This is your chance to come visit with the pack, leadership and other parents and kids to learn more about what scouting can offer! You will be able to actually register on this night!

And remember Cub Scouts is now open to BOTH boys AND girls from Kinder to 5th grade! We truly are a family-friendly activity. Sports are great, but you are on the sidelines. You won't be "sidelined" with scouting; work side by side with your son or daughter to strengthen their character, teach responsibility and spend that quality time together we all need.

Please check back for our official invite for our School Night for Scouts soon or email recruiting chair- Michelle Peters at [email protected] for more info and an introductory kit/PDF.
