Events

When you join Pack 1967, we want to make you feel welcome. We have put together this list to help you jump right in and feel prepared for camp outs, meetings, and other events. Let us know if we missed out something.

Pack MeetingS

Once a month, all Dens meet together for a “Pack Meeting", which all Cub Scouts and their families are encouraged to attend. The Pack Meeting is a fun time for everyone. Dens show off the projects they have been working on and participate in special Pack activities, and awards are presented to the Scouts. It is a time for the family to get information on upcoming activities and share in the Scouting spirit. Be sure to attend and join in the excitement while watching your son advance! We encourage scouts to wear their uniform.

Pack 1967's holds its Pack Meetings on the second Wednesday of the month at 7pm in the Cafeteria at Laurel Ridge Elementary School.

Den Meetings

Den Meetings are typically held once or twice a month and provide your scout with opportunities to enjoy various planned activities, learn new skills, complete rank advancement requirements, and have great fun. While parental attendance is not required at Den Meetings (except for Lions and Tigers), it is certainly encouraged! Some Dens will require parent participation at specific meetings. Please keep in touch with your scout's Den Leader so that you will know what activities are taking place and can track the progress your child is making.

Overnight Campouts

At its heart, Scouting is an outdoor-based program. Pack 1967 hosts annual family overnight campouts at locations approved by our local council. The Pack campout is a great way to get to know other families in the Pack and for Cub Scouts to work on outdoor adventures.

Camping in Cub Scouts is a family-centric activity. Pack 1967 follows all applicable guidelines for campouts, including the Guide to Safe Scouting and Age Appropriate Guidelines for Camping. The Pack and participating Dens organize activities and provide the main meals at campouts.

Blue and Gold Banquet

Each year, Cub Scouts across the nation celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the BSA, on February 8, 1910, by having a Blue and Gold Banquet. For the 2nd year "Arrow of Light” Webelos, the final night of being a Cub Scout is at our Blue and Gold Banquet. At that time, they will be invited by the Scoutmaster to join their chosen BSA Troop in a “crossing-over” ceremony.

Pack 1967 usually holds its Blue and Gold Banquet in February.

Pinewood Derby

The pinewood derby is one of the most popular and successful family activities in Cub Scouting. Pinewood derby cars are small wooden models that Cub Scouts make with help from their families. Then they race the cars in competition which includes awards for speed and show (design creativity). The cars are powered by gravity and run down a track. Pack 1967 provides the kits along with rules and instruction for design and competition. The race is typically held in February.

RainGutter Regatta

The Raingutter Regatta is a racing event for Cub Scouts that is the sailboat equivalent of a Derby. The official Raingutter Regatta Trimaran kit includes: Racing Trimaran Hull, two wooden outriggers, sail, mast, screws and sanding stick. Within the basic design rules, Scouts are free to paint and decorate their sailboats as they choose. Pack 1967 provides the kit and a race is typically held in the fall. Scouts love this event and parents are encouraged to let them use their own imaginations in decorating the boats.
