  • Pack Meeting Monday

    Pack Meeting Monday

    Tomorrow night will be our first pack meeting of the year, and we have a lot of awards to hand out and a fun activity or two afterward.

    Please have your cub scout wear their uniform tomorrow night if they have one, if you have any questions about uniforms please see me tomorrow night or you can check out: Frequent Questions – Cub Scout Pack 170 Red Hill PA.

    Upcoming:

    Scout Sunday at St. Paul’s

    Thank you to Aurora, Gabe, and Sami for representing us at Scout Sunday. St. Paul’s was very welcoming to our cubs and they each got a chance to ring the big church bell in addition to cheerfully greeting each of the congregants.

    Feb 9 – Pinewood Derby Build Night

    Could your cub scout use some additional help getting started with their Pinewood Derby car? Maybe you have some questions, or could use some tips when it comes to some of the finish work and getting the weight correct?

    In place of our regular Monday meeting on February 9 we will offer building time. We will help your cub scout get their derby car ready to compete for the race on February 28th.

    Show the above image to your cub scout and see how many issues they can find. I think Google Gemini might have been trained on Dr. Seuss Wacky Wednesday.

    Feb 16 – Catch Up Night

    Some dens could use an additional meeting night to catch up on requirements from our missed den meeting. Feb 16 is Presidents day and normally not a cub scout day. Please talk to your scout’s den leader to see if they would like to meet on Feb 16.

    Pinewood Derby – Saturday Feb 28th – 9am

    Join us for a fun filled morning where each cub scout gets to race their Pinewood Derby car and we cheer them on. Every car races multiple times, ensuring each car gets an opportunity to race in each lane.

    This is a great event to invite extended family to.

    Hiking and BB’s

    As the days begin to warm up we will start to regularly do some outdoor activities again.

    Monday March 9th we are planning a local hike, more details to follow.

    Monday March 23rd, we will meet at Camp Hart, Musser Scout Reservation for an evening of BB target shooting.

    Cub Adventure Day Camp at Camp Garrison!

    Two weeks of Cub Scout advancement and fun – July 13-17 and July 20-24 ( Cradle of Liberty Council – 2026 Cub Adventure Day Camp )

    Step back in time at our Dinosaur-Themed Day Camp! Cub scouts will become junior paleontologists as they dig for fossils, explore prehistoric habitats, and tackle fun outdoor challenges inspired by the age of dinosaurs.

    Through games, crafts, hands-on activities, and Scouting adventures, Cub Scouts will learn teamwork, build confidence, and have a ROAR-some week of fun—all while earning adventures along the way. Campers will get to participate in typical summer camp programs like archery, bb, slingshots, outdoor skills, STEM experiments, nature and more! Get ready for a dino-mite summer adventure!

    **New for 2026**

    – We will be providing lunch for all campers

    – Campers will have the opportunity to earn Cub Scout Adventures, specifically the Archery, BB, Slingshot, fishing and possibly others!
