[Cub Scout Pack 40] [Presbyterian Women]OverviewPack 40 is open to all boys ages 6-10, first grade through fifth grade. You can join at anytime throughout the year. We meet on Monday nights, 7:00pm, at the Church Recreation Building.
We participate in many activities throughout the year, such as, cooking, overnight camping, field trips, and building Pinewood Derby cars for our annual Pinewood Derby race. We also perform many community service related projects. Last year we collected food for Loaves and Fishes, a community food bank. We also made Christmas gifts for elderly residents in our community. We supported our Troops by sending pocket flags and care packages to military personnel stationed in Iraq.
The leaders of Pack 40 are dedicated to teaching young Cub Scouts good citizenship, as well as, good moral values. Through our activities we live the Cub Scout Promise.I, promise to do my best,
to do my duty, to God and
my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack.For further information, contact the Church Office at (336)227-4041.
