Information regarding Boy Scouts:
Cub Scouts do fun activities like building your very own Pinewood Derby car and then race it against your friends at the pack meeting. Your pack is camping in a meadow overlooking a beautiful lake. You and your friends go fishing and later Roast Hot Dogs and make S’ Mores over the campfire. Your den is hiking in a forest and, suddenly, several deer run across the trail ahead of you.
Cub Scouts do these things and much more. It’s a FUN activity for Boys and Girls in Kindergarten thru 6th grade.
You and your parents are invited to join in the Cub Scout Joining Event on Tuesday October 13 at 6:00 p.m. at Hickory Grove Church. Bring your Friends so you Don’t Miss Out on ALL the Fun. Scout Me In.
