Come to a Cub Scouts Ice Cream Social

You’re invited to an Ice Cream Social where you can see if Cub Scouts would be a good fit for your child and family.

Cub Scouts is a worldwide program with deep history, created to help prepare our children for their futures by teaching a variety of life skills including personal and civic responsibility, ethical and moral decision making, and goal setting and achievement. This program is a wonderful way to bring together families–boys, girls, siblings, and parents, through structured activities to promote topics including: confidence and self esteem building, good sportsmanship, environmental protection and outdoors skills. During the school year families will participate in a number of fun and educational experiences with games, speakers, field trips, and camping oriented activities.

Enjoy a bowl of ice cream with your family, as you learn from scouts and their families, about what scouting could be for you! If you have questions please contact Rowell Levy at   cubmaster@cubscoutpack208.org
