Scouting for Food

St. Joseph Catholic Church Cub Scout Pack 913 Needs YOU to Help Us Scout for Food! Every November, Cub Scout Pack 913 joins area scouts to collect non-perishable food items to benefit families in need right here in our Herndon community. To make this year’s effort a success, we encourage all SJS students to donate non-perishable food items by bringing them to school during the week of November 4 th to 8 th .  To participate, simply place any donated food items in a paper or plastic bag and bring it to your classroom by November 8 th . Pack 913 thanks the SJS community in advance for your generous support of this important program!

Be a part of something—be a Scout   JOIN CUB SCOUTS!  Scouts is a year-round family program and boys in grades K-5 can join anytime of the year. Our Pack has exciting events with activities that are fun for kids and the entire family. Our Cubs learn about important life skills, personal safety and environmental stewardship. They take part in fun outdoor activities, get involved in their community, and learn to be part of a team. There is something for every boy—outdoor skills, crafts, sports, hikes, skits & songs, camping, ship/submarine visits, history hikes, pinewood derby, camaraderie and just plain fun.  To join, ask questions or to just learn more, contact Steve Bailey at chairperson@pack913.com.
