Our Pinewood Derby Page has the 2008 Race Details on it!

The Pack is doing several projects with the Goodwill Jr. Club of Maple East Elementary...you can find descriptions of their thoughtful work here.

Scouting is unique because it allows entry at any age, from 7 years on up.  Scouting’s longevity is seen when several members of the same family, even generations, follow each other into Scouting. And it’s not unusual to find Scouts who have made a 10- to 12-year commitment to Scouting. 

What children learn in their formative years is instrumental in shaping their character as adults-and building strong character takes time. Don’t expect it to happen in just a few days, a few months or even a year!  Scouting builds character by teaching confidence and self-reliance and promoting positive role models as your child grows and develops.  Through planned advancement, Scouts are always in a learning environment, increasing their capacity for goal-setting, choice-making and accomplishment.

Look for this guy. When I add new things to a finished page, I’ll pop him in.  See Calendar page for an example.

I have begun entering items onto our Photo Gallery page.  A picture is worth a thousand words.

The Calendar Page holds a list of our meetings and activities.

What do I do to earn my Bobcat Badge? The FIRST badge I earn in Cub Scouting?

Scouting is also flexible and accommodates the need to balance the work and life requirements of a busy family. It’s easy to plan for meetings and activities, and if something unexpected comes up, just let your leader know-it’s expected in the lifestyles we lead today.

Another Scouting benefit is that you and your child can work on achievements at your own pace. For example, if your child is in a spring soccer league and has to miss several meetings and activities, he still can complete and sign off on Scout activities to work toward the next level. Plus, the skills and values your child learns through Scouting can be applied in any non-Scouting activity he participates in. You and your child work on bringing the positive influence that Scouting reinforces into everything he does. This can be an especially valuable defense to the peer pressure all youth experience when growing up as your child builds character.  It’s important to remember that Scouting is not an either/or choice you have to make for your child. It works with you to let you manage your time and other activities, and, like a family, will always be there when you return.

The purpose of the Scout uniform is twofold: By dressing alike, Scouts show they are equals. The uniform is also a sign to others that the Scout is a person who can be trusted. While the attire changes at each level of Scouting, a complete official uniform includes:

• the Scout long-sleeved or short-sleeved shirt; • Navy Scout pants or shorts; • Scout belt and buckle; • Scout socks or knee socks (optional); and • a neckerchief and cap.
