Even at a young age, boys today have a wide variety of options for spending their time.  At Pack 1200 we are committed to delivering your child a high quality, safe and fun-filled program.

We believe developing a strong character, healthy body and strong sense of who you are is a top priority.  We feel this is what makes scouting unique from all the other opportunities boys have today.  Not only are they learning how to work as a team but also how to identify and make correct decisions and how to encourage others to do the same.  The focus in cub scouts is the boy and the family.  We strongly encourage parental involvement and believe that is the reason we have been going strong for 28 years.

Activities

Below are some of the activities you can look forward to with Pack 1200

Campouts in the Fall and Spring

We love to camp and we love to eat good when we camp.  If you have never camped before this is a great time to try it out.  We will help you with the supplies that are required so you can get your toes wet with out making a big financial commitment.  You will also be surrounded with lots of experienced campers who can ensure that you have a wonderful experience.  The camp outs typically include a nature hike, 2 to 3 activities and time for the family.  Meals are typically served as a pack and don't plan on losing weight on the camp out.  We take pride in our cooking.

Pack Fall Activity

We vary this activity from year to year so the scouts will get to try different things.  Things we have done in the past are rocket races, boat races and swimming.

Pinewood Derby

Stand back and watch closely as our pinewood derby cars come screaming down the track.  Each boys car gets to run at least 3 races and all times are electronically clocked, tabulated on a computer and displayed on a video screen for the child to see.  The child's race speed is adjusted to reflect what it would be if it was a full size car, add in some sound effects, excited boys (and parents) and it just doesn't get any better.

Blue and Gold Banquet

Just as we like to eat good at our camp outs, well it doesn't stop there.  Our Blue and Gold Banquet is time for the whole family to come for a fine dining experience, give some awards and watch some entertainment.  Last year we had the Critterman teach everyone about, you guessed it, "Critters".

Fall Picnic

We like to start the year with a picnic and general play time to allow the kids to mingle in an informal setting and get to know the new kids.  We provide some delicious hot dogs, lemonade and chips and have a relaxing afternoon.  We also include our conservation project to help the kids get a jump start on the new year.

Summer Activities

In addition to the council's activities we will also schedule 3 activities (1 per month) during the summer.  These range from visits to various types of sites from museums to bowling alleys to swimming.  We usually are able to get a special tour included such as behind the scene visits to make the trip more exciting.

Den Activities

Each den meets typically once a week during the school year except for when we have pack meetings or it is a holiday.  Each den will work with the child to ensure they are making progress towards their rank.  We like to do this by keeping the child engaged and actively involved rather than just listening.  Each den will also sponsor their own outside activities.  Such as visiting fire stations or going to a basketball game.

Pack Meetings

Once a month we meet as a pack and present the boys with their awards.  We feel it is important that each boy is recognized for the accomplishments they have achieved.  Each den will also have opportunities to do a skit or provide some other form of entertainment.

Pack 1200 enjoys cub scouting and providing a strong foundation for the boys.  If you are new to scouting or are looking for a new pack please come by and visit us.  We think you'll enjoy what you see.
