Pack 60

Pack 60 wins the “National Summertime Pack Award”.

The purpose of the National Summertime Pack Award is to encourage packs to provide a year-round program by continuing to meet during the time periods when school is out of session for several weeks or months. If a pack is in a ‘year-round school’ (or is part of a home-school association), the pack could earn the Summertime Pack Award by having a special pack activity during those breaks.

Last summer we had 5 organized events

1. Fishing Derby
2. Collings Foundation Open House
3. Central Massachusetts Spacemodeling Society (CMASS) club rocket launch
4. Letterboxing and geocaching on conservation land
5. Water launch rockets

Thanks to all that attended! It was a blast!

Hey, the regular season is over, but there are still plenty of Cub Scout activities going on. We will have three informal, less structured Pack meetings in June, Jul and August. Catch as catch can — if you are around, wear your Scout tee-shirt and join in (if you attend all three, you will earn a pin).
