A MESSAGE FROM CUB SCOUT PACK 788
Our pack has made Summerville Catholic School our home-base for many years. Anyone in kindergarten to fifth grade may join. Cub Scouting is fun! No matter what grade you are in, it can be a blast. Do you like to learn by doing? This is just the place. You can learn to tie knots, set up a tent, or shoot a bow and arrow. Have you ever cooked a meal on a campfire, sent a secret code to a buddy, built a birdhouse, or hiked? In Cub Scouts, children and their families have fun and adventure in a program that builds character and instills values.
We recently went camping in Myrtle Beach Ripley's Aquarium. Sleeping inside the shark tunnel with sharks swimming all around us. We will be having our annual Pinewood Derby on February 25th at 2 pm in the SCS great room. The Scouts design, build, and race their own car. The three fastest racers and the crowd favorite all win trophies or medals. We will have drinks and pizza. Please stop by and check us out or email the pack at the following email address: pack788cubmaster@gmail.com.
