Fall Kickoff Meeting

Hello, Current and Prospective Pack 310 Families!  

We are pleased to invite you all to our Fall Kickoff Meeting, to be held next Tuesday, September 22, from 7:00-7:30PM. We are excited to kick off this year in spite of the circumstances of not being able to meet in person yet!  We will discuss this year's Pack 310 events, fundraising, dues, etc.  

Hopefully, all you Cub Scouts and adult volunteers will come to the meeting sporting your uniforms to show off to the new and prospective Cub Scouts.  You all look very sharp in uniform!

Please invite friends to come and check out Pack 310.  Any scout that invites a friend (with parents not already on this email) who attends the meeting will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 gift card to Big 5 Sporting Goods.

Email lacrescentapack310@gmail.com for the Zoom link. Hope to see you all there and don't forget to bring a friend.

Join in on the Family Fun with Pack 310!

Cub Scouts began in 1930. Lord Baden-Powell founded Scouting and was fond of the stories in The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Akela, the Wolf, was a wise leader and adopted the boy, Mowgli, into the Pack. Baloo the Bear, helped teach Mowgli the laws of the jungle to help him live amongst the animals safely and responsibly. To this day, we use words like Den and Pack as a way of remembering how Cub Scouting began with inspiration from The Jungle Book.

Why Join Cub Scouts?
The scouting experience facilitates bonding the boys as friends through interactive team building adventures. And that goes for the parents & families as well. Joining scouts has introduced people to life-long friends who look out for each other, not to mention, just plain enjoy socializing with one another. Through scouting, your son will develop character qualities such as trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. He will also learn new skills, develop new interests, and build on his own self-confidence, all while having fun filled adventures.
We have a variety of family friendly adventures throughout the year, including: STEM Nova and Supernova Award Programs, Camp Outs and Outdoor Events, Halloween Carnivals, Pinewood Derby, Blue & Gold Banquet, Hikes, Summertime activities, and Community service projects. This Years STEM Theme is “Cubs Can Code” and we’ll be learning about computers, coding, and more! 

Friday, October 4th 6:30 – 7:30 PM

Welcome Meeting @ Lincoln Elementary Auditorium

Come Join in on the Family Fun while your Scout is learning about Character Development, Community Service, STEM, and Outdoor Adventures with Cub Scout Pack 310!
