Meetings
During the school year, dens meet between two and three times a month and also plan several field trips per year. Parents usually take turns organizing the den meetings and field trips. Pack meetings are one evening a month, and feature learning opportunities as well as fun activities. Scouts are expected to attend most meetings.
Camping
Pack 68 Cub Scouts have many opportunities to enjoy camping and the great outdoors. Each summer, Day Camp provides five packed days of fun-filled games, crafts, shows, and activities. Camp Birch also provides an overnight camp experience with tents and cots.
Each Spring and Fall a Family Camp Out is offered, and is usually well attended. The pack provides cooking and programming, families will need a tent and sleeping bags. Advancement opportunities are usually part of the activities.
Annual Pack 68 Activities:
- Pinewood Derby - Cubs build and decorate 7" Pinewood cars and race them down a 25-foot ramp, a classic event that's fun for all.
- Service Projects - Cubs collect canned goods for the Greene County Food Bank as part of the annual Scouting for Food Drive. Pack 68 has adopted the bike path between Factory and North Fairfield for litter pickup. Dens take turns throughout the year keeping our adopted areas cleared of litter.
