The great outdoors is our playground! Cub Scouts love hitting the trails, exploring local parks, and discovering the wonders of nature. From towering trees to hidden streams, every hike is an adventure waiting to unfold. Along the way, our scouts learn valuable skills like map reading, trail safety, and the importance of preserving the environment. It’s not just about the journey—it’s about growing a love for the outdoors while earning badges and building friendships.
Our pack has had some unforgettable hikes, whether it's spotting wildlife, participating in nature scavenger hunts, or reaching that rewarding viewpoint at the end of the trail. Hiking gives our scouts a chance to challenge themselves, bond with their packmates, and celebrate the natural beauty of Cypress, Texas.
What’s scouting without a few campouts under the stars? Camping is one of our most anticipated activities, where scouts get hands-on experience in pitching tents, cooking over an open fire, and enjoying stories around the campfire. For many, it's their first time camping, and the excitement is contagious. Our scouts learn the basics of outdoor survival, responsibility, and teamwork—all while having a blast with their friends.
Whether it’s an overnight campout in the wilderness or a fun-filled day camp, our pack loves embracing the camping spirit. These trips provide endless opportunities for exploration, adventure, and growth. The memories made under the stars will last a lifetime!
One of the highlights of our scouting year is the Pinewood Derby, where scouts get to design, build, and race their very own wooden cars! It’s a chance for scouts to show off their creativity, engineering skills, and, of course, competitive spirit. Each scout starts with a block of wood, and with the help of a parent, turns it into a sleek (or sometimes wild!) race car that’s ready to zoom down the track.
The Pinewood Derby is more than just a race—it’s an event that brings the entire pack together. From creative designs to the thrilling races, the energy is high as scouts cheer each other on and celebrate their hard work. It's always a great day filled with friendly competition and plenty of laughs.
Get ready to blast off! Rocket Days are all about excitement, experimentation, and science. Scouts work together to build and launch their very own rockets into the sky. It’s a hands-on STEM activity that gives them a chance to explore engineering, physics, and problem-solving in a fun and thrilling way.
Seeing the rockets soar into the sky is a moment of pure excitement. The countdown begins, and then, whoosh! The rockets take off, with scouts and parents watching in awe. Rocket Days are one of the most memorable events of the year, giving scouts the opportunity to learn and have fun all at once.
Fishing is a favorite activity for our scouts, offering a peaceful yet exciting day by the water. Scouts learn everything from casting a line to patiently waiting for that big catch. Whether they reel in a small fish or just enjoy the day outdoors, it’s an opportunity for scouts to connect with nature and practice valuable life skills like patience, persistence, and responsibility.
Our pack loves heading out to local fishing spots for a relaxing day by the water, where scouts can take in the beauty of nature while learning how to fish. It's a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors while learning about aquatic ecosystems and conservation.
One of the most fun and creative events we host is the Cake Bake and Auction! Scouts, with a little help from their families, get to design and bake their own cakes, which are then auctioned off in a spirited, fast-paced bidding war. The competition isn't just about baking—it's about creativity, design, and presentation. From scout-themed cakes to wacky and colorful creations, the sky's the limit!
The best part? Watching the bids fly! Parents, leaders, and even fellow scouts get in on the excitement as each cake is auctioned off to the highest bidder. Not only is this a fun and memorable event, but it also helps raise funds for our pack’s future adventures. It’s a day filled with laughter, friendly competition, and some truly delicious cakes!
The holidays are always a festive time for our pack, filled with parties, crafts, and celebrations! Our Halloween party is a crowd favorite, with costumes, games, and candy for everyone. It’s a time for scouts to let loose, have fun, and enjoy the spirit of the season.
In contrast, the Blue & Gold Banquet is our way of honoring the accomplishments of our scouts and leaders throughout the year. It's a special time where the whole pack gathers for an evening of celebration, recognition, and of course, great food! Both of these events highlight the sense of community and friendship that our pack thrives on.
