🚲 Wheels, Smiles, and Miles! 🚲

Our Pack 170 scouts had an absolutely fantastic time hitting the trail for our recent Pack Bike & Trike “Hike”!

We cruised along our beautiful Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, logging four miles round trip. There’s truly no better way to spend a day than enjoying the fresh air, building confidence on two (or three!) wheels, and making memories with friends.

Whether it's biking in the summer or hiking in the winter, scouting with Pack 170 is all about year-round fun, community, and learning new skills along the way.

Missed out on the fun? Don't worry! We have plenty of adventures lined up for the coming months. We’d love for your family to join us next time.

Big Smiles and Big History! 🐻🦁🐯💙💛

Our Cub Scouts had an absolute blast celebrating America’s Semi-Quincentennial with the Unionville Museum! Pack 170 was so proud to team up with our older Scout mentors from Troop 170 to represent Unionville and Farmington for this historic town milestone.

From our youngest Lions and Tigers to our oldest Webelos, our Cub Scouts showed amazing Scout Spirit all day long!
Here is a look at our busy day of adventure:

🍦 Sweet Treats & Crafts: Fueling our creativity with hands-on holiday crafts and delicious ice cream!

🚒 Living History: Exploring the museum’s awesome exhibitions and checking out the incredible vintage fire engine up close.

🇺🇸 Honoring the Flag: Learning all about the history of our nation's flag and participating with our Troop 170 partners to perform an inspiring flag ceremony.

🦅 Future Leaders: Standing tall alongside the Troop Color Guard as they proudly presented the colors for our community.

A massive thank you to the Unionville Museum volunteers for putting together such a family-friendly event, and to Troop 170 for guiding our younger Scouts. We love our community!

⛵️ **Who remembers the days when weekend fun just meant playing by the water until the sun went down?**

This weekend, Pack 170 brought that exact nostalgic magic back at Lions Memorial Park for our annual Roaring Brook Regatta! Under beautiful sunny skies, our Scouts unveiled their custom-built, floating masterpieces.

They didn't just race; they got a hands-on lesson in fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and the physics of wind power as they released their boats down the stream! 💨💨

Of course, kid instincts kicked in, and the Roaring Brook stream was just too irresistible to resist! But that’s the beauty of Scouting. In Pack 170, we provide a safe environment where kids can take risks, get their feet a little wet, and learn through real-world experience. 🌲✨
Character building through pure, unplugged fun.

We'd love to meet you! Drop a comment below or send us a message to join us at our next pack event!

💐 Happy Mother’s Day from Pack & Troop 170! 💐

Today, we take a moment to celebrate the incredible women who make scouting possible. To the moms, grandmothers, and guardians who juggle the schedules, sew on the merit badges, and cheer the loudest at the Pinewood Derby THANK YOU!

Whether you’re a leader in our **Troop** or a supporting hand in our **Pack**, your dedication helps our scouts grow into leaders of tomorrow. You are the heart of our scouting family!

We hope your day is filled with relaxation, joy, and maybe a little less "outdoor adventure" than a typical scouting weekend!

"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother."
-Abraham Lincoln

Happy Mother’s Day!🏕️✨

🥣 29,215 Meals & Counting! 🥣

Our Scouts were on a mission this past Saturday at St. Mary’s, and the results were nothing short of incredible. Together, we rolled up our sleeves to create and pack 29,215 protein-packed meals for families in need!

From the assembly line to the final seal, the energy was electric. It’s amazing to see what our community can achieve when we work together toward a common goal.

A huge thank you to everyone who showed up, worked hard, and helped us make a real dent in local food insecurity.
