Welcome! We would like to welcome all of you for another great year of Cub Scouts. We have a bunch of new Tiger Scouts, a new Cubmaster, a great group of leaders and a ton of ideas to make the Pack even BETTER than it was before. It’s gonna be great!

First Pack Meeting! Our first meeting was held on Thursday September 18th in the Saint Andrew School Cafeteria. It went great! Thanks to everyone who helped plan and execute the meeting!

Schedule: Download a copy of our schedule for this year through our forms section below. It is still subject to minor changes, but this is how it stands right now!

Campout cancelled :-( Our first Pack sleepover at the church this weekend was postponed due to the weather. More info on a new date is coming!

Bucks County Camporee: was held this past weekend, Our boys visited two different Troops, and got a close up look at what it’s like to camp as a boy scout. We shot BB Guns, did archery, and checked out dozens of booths with Scout related info and gear. It was FUN, and they got cool patches!! Sign-ups! It’s not too late to sign up for Cub Scouts. If you’re thinking of joining, just email us or come to our October meeting and bring a friend! The cost for returning members is $65, and $77.10 for new members (the extra $12.10 covers registration for the 2nd half of 2008).
