This is a formal ceremony where our graduating AOL scouts will say goodbye to the pack and be welcomed by their troop of choice.
Blue & Gold is a tradition in cub scouts. They are a celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the BSA on February 8, 1910, and therefore usually take the place of the February pack meeting.
The Bridging Ceremony is an event where your scout moves from one program level to the next.
Bridging happens at the end of the program year:
Lion → Tiger
Tiger → Wolf
Wolf → Bear
Bear → Webelos
Webelos → Arrow of Light
Arrow of Light → Scouts BSA (Troop)
The Arrow of Light crossover is usually the biggest ceremony because it marks leaving Cub Scouts and joining a troop.
This is a one day event where scouts can do BBs, archery, fishing, and other fun events only available at the district and council level (we cannot offer BBs, Archery, or sling shots at the pack level).
District Roundtable is a monthly program that gives leaders hands-on experience and provides a forum for leaders to offer and receive help from their fellow Scouters. Roundtable is a form of supplemental training for volunteers.
This is an opportunity for families and scouts to camp together and will include activities on Saturday. We strongly encourage families to come out for the day if they are not ready to camp overnight.
The Fredericksburg National Cemetery Luminaria Committee, Friends of Wilderness Battlefield, and the National Park Service invite volunteers to work together each year on Memorial Day Weekend to honor 15,300 soldiers who were laid to rest in the Fredericksburg National Cemetery. This includes pre-folding bags, bagging sandbags, laying out bags and cleaning up the bags each year.
This is a community event that provides scouts the opportunity to meet with and talk to many first responders and other agencies in our community. We strongly encourage dens to participate and wear their class A uniform.
The pack meeting brings all of the dens in the pack together for the purposes of recognizing the achievements of the Cub Scouts, communicating information about upcoming events, and providing a program that enriches the Cub Scouting experience.
We will award badges of rank as well as present the scouts their next rank’s neckerchief and hat. We encourage families to exchange their hats and neckerchiefs but they can also be purchased new.
The Pinewood Derby is a fun Cub Scout racing event held annually. During the event, Cub Scouts race small, driverless wooden cars down a sloped track. The cars are powered only by gravity. With an adult’s help, each Pinewood Derby car is built by a Cub Scout using a kit that includes a wooden block, plastic wheels and metal axles. Detailed rules are released each fall to help adult partners and scouts as they build their car.
We do one fundraiser each year that helps support all our activities, camping, awards (belt loops, pins, patches, etc), and adult leader registration fees. During our December pack meeting we recognized the efforts of our scouts who sold popcorn during the fall season. We encourage all families to participate in the popcorn fundraiser.
A classic Cub Scout activity where Scouts build small boats and race them in a long, narrow water track, often made from rain gutters filled with water. The boats are powered by the Scout blowing through a straw or puffing air, not by pushing the boat.
Scouting for Food takes place on two consecutive weekends. On the first weekend, Scouts distribute bags and/or door hangers to let their neighbors know about the drive. On the second, Scouts revisit those houses to pick up bags full of canned food, cereal, pasta, peanut butter, juice and other nonperishable items. These items are donated to our local food pantry, Love Thy Neighbor.
A Scout is Reverent. Scout Sunday is an opportunity for units/individual scouts to attend their religious services in uniform, conduct a flag ceremony, speak about Scouting, present religious awards, take an active participation in the service such as a prayer, or request a notice in the church bulletin.
Scouts Trash the Trash Day is an international Messengers of Peace project for Scouts around the world, where each Scout is challenged to bring a friend or family member along and pick up at least one Kilo (2.2 pounds) of trash each on the first Saturday in May.
The “University of Scouting”, is a supplemental training opportunity for all adult Scout leaders. It is the one time during the year where you can find the widest variety of training opportunities in all program areas all in one place. The University has a degree program where, over time, attendees can earn Bachelors, Masters, and PhD degrees in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Adventuring. Classes are taught by experienced scouters and scouting professionals, many in subject areas not otherwise covered in the usual adult leader training curriculum.
This is a yearly event by the non-profit to place Christmas Wreaths on graves of military veterans. Scouts will need to wear their Class A uniforms when participating.
