Cub Scouts Have Adventures

Here’s what being in Pack 577 actually looks like.

Campfire at the Cub-O-Ree

Camping & Outdoors

The whole pack goes camping twice a year, in October and May. Families camp together, and Scouts get to try things like archery, hiking, and cooking over a fire. Never camped before? That’s completely normal, and we’ll help you with everything you need.

2025 Pinewood Derby cars, ready to race

Pinewood Derby

Every Scout gets a block of wood, four wheels, and a few weeks to turn them into a race car. Then comes race day, when the whole pack gathers to cheer as the cars fly down the track. It’s one of the most exciting days of the year.

The racing doesn’t stop there. In June, Scouts build sailboats for the Raingutter Regatta.

Touring the fire station

Hikes & Trips

The pack goes on a hike every month, and heads out for trips like rock climbing each winter. Dens also take trips around the area to see how things work, like visiting the fire station, police station, and library, or touring a nature center, a university, a grocery store, or a utility plant.

Working on an Adventure at a den meeting

Skills & Adventures

Each grade has its own Adventures: hands-on activities the den works on together at meetings. Every rank covers the same six big themes: character and leadership, the outdoors, personal fitness, citizenship, personal safety, and family. Dens also pick two elective Adventures, from science to cooking to building things. Scouts earn awards as they go, but the real reward is learning by doing and gaining confidence along the way.

Delivering Scouting for Food donations to the Seeds of Hope pantry

Community Service

Cub Scouts give back. The pack does service projects throughout the year, like the annual Scouting for Food drive, where we’ve collected food for the Seeds of Hope pantry in recent years, and marches in Ambler’s Holiday Parade and Oreland’s 4th of July Parade.
