Come Join the Scouting Fun!
Come one, come all for a morning full of fun, adventure, and Scouting! Bring the whole family out to meet our local Pack and Troop, enjoy carnival-style activities, and discover what Scouting can offer your child.
Kids will have plenty to explore, including an inflatable archery range, inflatable axe throwing, fishing pond, Gaga Ball, treasure hunt, and more. Food and drinks will also be available throughout the event.
While the kids are having fun, parents can meet our local Scouting families and learn what being a Scout is really like. Scouting helps young people build valuable life skills such as leadership, confidence, teamwork, and problem-solvingwhile making new friends and forming connections that can last a lifetime.
We are a very active, family-oriented Pack and Troop, with opportunities for both boys and girls to get involved. You’ll have the chance to meet some of our current Scouts, hear about their experiences, learn about the activities and adventures we enjoy throughout the year, and ask questions about how your family can get started.
Whether your child is ready for their next adventure or your family is simply curious about Scouting, this is a great opportunity to come see what we’re all about. There’s no obligation to join—just come out, have some fun, meet our Scouts and leaders, and experience Scouting for yourself.
We hope to see you there!
