Cub Scout Pack 11

Cub Scout Pack 11 is a grade based program designed for boys from Kindergarten through 5th grade. They meet in Dens according to grade and once a month they meet as an entire group called a Pack. Cub Scouts participate in activities such as Pinewood Derby, campfires, and hiking. They also take trips such as visiting local TV stations or seeing a fire truck up close. Cub Scouts earn awards for learning skills such as tying a knot or using a bow and arrow.
