Scout Sunday is February 6th: Be Prepared!
Have you started planning for Scout Sunday, scheduled for February 6th? The Scout Shop has 2022 patches available for pre-order right now, at just $3.50 per patch. We've pulled together a great resource to help you plan, and are excited to showcase Cub Scout Pack 2835's Scout Sunday traditions.

Scouts Trash the Trash Day!
With all this chilly winter weather, it's fun to think about warmer days in the great outdoors! Why not plan ahead for your unit's spring service project and sign-up for Scouts Trash the Trash Day on May 7th, 2022? This 8th annual international project challenges Scouts to pick-up at least two pounds of trash each in an effort to clean up our communities and promote conservation of our precious resources.
