Back To School!

Well, we are officially back to school! Pack 660 is back in the swing also!
We will be having our Pack Gathering this month on Tuesday September 30 at 7:00pm. It will be a Pack meeting so we will need all the boys in their uniforms. This will also be the time that we will be able to have a parents meeting to inform you all of what events and goals we have for the upcoming year! Please mark your calendars so everyone will be in attendance!

We had an exciting summer with some fun activities, the pool party, scout camp and who could forget the AWESOME ROCKET ACTIVITY!! Thanks to all who helped with these wonderful activities!!!! ( I will be posting pictures of some of them in the near future)

Welcome Hyrum!!

We would like to welcome our newest cub Hyrum!!! we are so excited you are able to join us now!!

May Theme!!

Leaf It To Cubs

Cub Scouts hopefully will learn about the wonders of nature's gift to us, a tree! Now would be a good time to identify poison oak, poison ivy and various trees by their shape and leaf design. Try leaf rubbing, leaf prints, making a leaf collage, preserving leaves with wax paper or making a leaf collection from fallen leaves. Make a leaf boat and race it down a stream or river. Participate in a tree planting or your local Arbor Day activities. Either adopt a tree or plant one and watch it grow. Help the child research how trees are used to help us in our daily lives. Field trips can be to a lumberyard, nature center, forest preserve or local park. Earn the Collecting belt loop and pin.

Family idea

Since this month’s theme deals with magic, this would be a good time to teach children to understand the difference between the real world and the make-believe world they encounter every day through television, movies, video games, and other media. One of the suggested activities in the Knowing It’s Make-Believe section of the Cub Scouting's BSA Family Activity Book is to perform magic tricks with your children-and them explain how some things they see in the media are just tricks, too.
