Pack 506 Events
All Cub Scouting Activities are intended for participation by the Scout and a Parent!!! (most often the entire family can enjoy these scouting events) Many of these activities come at a minimal / discounted ticket rate as a benefit of being involved in Scouting. Please contact Sue Hullin [email protected] for sign up and ticketing information.
Specific Activities for 2012-2013 are in the planning stage and will be communicated by the beginning of the school year
Camping-
This is a pack sponsored event that we schedule twice a year- early fall, and late spring.

Scouting for Food
In the Law of the Pack, a cub scout gives good will and in the Boy Scout Promise, a boy scout promises to help other people at all times. By participating in a Scouting for Food program, scouts come a step closer to fulfilling those words. Across the country, in many councils and districts, thousands of troops and packs with millions of scouts involved collect tens of millions of pounds of food which is distributed to needy neighbors.
Blue and Gold Dinner
In 1933 "Cub Leaders' Round Table" suggested Parent / Cub dinners. Soon thereafter, Pack 1 of Michigan City started a tradition of pot-lucks where the dads were to bring utensils made of wood; whittled by the Cub with his dad. In the 1930s father / son 'bean dinners' and 'Cub family dinners' began to become commonplace. Finally, in 1943 the name "Blue and Gold Banquet" first appeared in BSA literature, and became synonomous with "celebrating the birthday of Scouting."
Today, the Blue and Gold banquet is one of the highlights of the program year. It brings together your Pack's families for a dinner and an evening of fun. The meal is important, but even more important is the warm, congenial atmosphere created as families enjoy each other's company.
