About Us

Cub Scout Activities

Den Meetings:
Your son will meet weekly or bi-weekly with a group of other boys who
are in his grade. This provides him a chance to make new friends and do
new activities with a close group of friends.

Pack Meetings:
This is a meeting for all Cub Scouts and parents to get to gather to
recognize their sons for the achievements they have accomplished
during each month. Skits, songs and plays are just a few activities
during a Pack meeting.

Pinewood Derby Races:
Pack competition where the Cub Scout makes a racing car for
competition.

Day Camp:
Weekday camping at various city parks during the summer. Action
oriented. Involves games, crafts, skills, nature, archery and, at some
locations, BB gun instruction.

Blue & Gold Banquet:
Large pack meeting in February where families come together to
celebrate the birthday of the Cub Scout program. We will hold a potluck,
an ice cream and cake social or cater food for the event. Advancement
programs and skits are the main attraction of the night.

Cub Scout Fees:

Pack 601 charges each Cub Scout $100 per year for each boy. This fee covers our
national rechartering fees, pack activities, the Pinewood Derby, Blue and Gold and
individual achievements. (belt loops, pins and patches)

Fundraising:

Pack 601 only has one fundraiser a year. We sell Cub Scout popcorn in September.
Each scout keeps 25% of the proceeds they sell. The rest of the money goes to
purchasing the popcorn and supporting the regional and national council.

Each scout may use the money he earns to pay for items from the scout store,
summer camps or next year's dues.
