Dens are broken up by grade

What do we do?

At each level scouts work on six required and 2 elective adventures. Required adventures are on character/leadership, outdoors, personal fitness, citizenship, personal safety, family/reverence

​

We help guide the scouts on the values of Scouting which are rooted in preparing young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes.

​

Meetings are a mix of Den meetings (break apart by dens) and Pack meetings (everyone stays together).

Dessert Raffle - Toys for Tots

At Pack meeting we will hold our dessert raffle, 6:30 at Bethia. The dessert raffle is used to raise funds to buy toys for the Toys for Tots program. Here's how the raffle works.

​

• Each scout brings a dessert to raffle off.
• We will then sell raffle tickets for $5 each (bring cash). I will pull raffle tickets out of a hat and the first name that is drawn will get first pick of the desserts, 2nd ticket, 2nd pick and so on…
• Since this is for a good cause, we encourage families to buy more than one ticket if they can. Having more than one ticket in the hat does not mean you win more desserts, it just increases your chances of getting drawn earlier, so you can get a better dessert.
• A scout or family can only win the number of desserts that they brought. Each person that brings a dessert and buys a raffle ticket will win a dessert.

Valentine’s Day Cards - Auburn Hill

We’ve partnered with Auburn Hill Senior Living to make Valentine’s Day Cards

​

• Each scout is asked to make at least two Valentine’s Day cards
• Cards will be delivered to Auburn Hill to be distributed to residents
