Annual Events and Activities

Our Cub Scout Pack 3 does a TON of events and activities throughout the Scouting year. Some are community service project-related, others are fundraisers, and some are educational. We strive for 100% Scout participation at all these events so please mark your calendars early and make plans to attend. Parent volunteers run all the events, and your help is absolutely necessary to run our Pack’s fun-filled events. Please contact your Den Leader to see where your family can help.

The Pack Committee plans a full calendar of annual events and activities for all scout families to enjoy. Almost all the times, dates, locations and other event details are set before the beginning of the school year.

The below list of events and activities only state the month or season that the events are in. You will need to check the event calendar for the exact dates and times

General Information for all Events:

Please arrive early and sign the attendance log if necessary for events that will need to track your Scout's attendance for participation patches, pins or cost relating to paying for your scout's attendance. All the details for the events will be emailed to you 2 days prior to the events. Pack 3 uses automatic events email reminders, which will have more details on each event. Make sure to read the email thoroughly and contact your Den Leader with any specific questions your family may have.

Monthly Events and Activities

Den Meetings: (twice monthly) are for a smaller group of scouts to meet per their Scout rank with their Den Leaders.

The scouts do projects, events, and other fun activities with their piers, learning something new and productive for their young mental, social and moral development.

Fall Season Events and Activities

Popcorn Sales: (September) is an offical BSA (Boy Scouts of America) annual fundraiser to help pay for your son's awards and Pack 3's costs for events and activities. Pack 3 earns its operating budget from the popcorn sales, so we ask every family to support their son's effort to give something back to our Pack. This event runs over many months.

A good portion of the money raised also funds the national BSA program
Scouts are to be in their Class "A" uniform if going door to door to sale.

District Fall Camporee: (October) Each fall Andaste District sponsors a one day camporee for all scouts. The theme for each year is an adventure while learning scout skills.

Scouting for Food (November) is an on-going annual program of the Boy Scouts of America begun in 1985 by the Greater Saint Louis Area Council that collects food for local food banks. It is organized at the local level throughout the country.

Scouting for Food is a project rooted in the very foundation of the Scouting movement and its dedication to implement the Scout Slogan and do good turn daily.

On the first Saturday in November, Cub Scout Pack 3 will leave plastic bags on the doorknobs of their neighbors asking for donations of non-perishable food items. One week later, the Scouts return to pick up and deliver the bags of food to the Canton Food Bank. The Cub Scouts will also be standing outside the Tops Markets, D&H Markets and the Dollar General in Canton collecting donations from shoppers. The donations will be delivered directly to the food bank. Boy Scout Troop 33 will be at the food bank to sort and put away all of the donations.

Winter Season Events

Tubing at Ski Sawmill: (January) Our January pack meeting is a trip to Ski Sawmill for an afternoon of racing tubes down the slopes. Fun for the entire family!

All the Scouts will make a Pinewood Derby car to race against all the other cars in Pack 3. The cars start out as simple blocks of wood but with a little time and a little assistance it is amazing what your son and you can turn the cars into.

The top 3 winners will advance to the Andaste District Derby Race in Towanda.
