“We love the community. The leaders are caring, organized, and have been making events fun for the kids.”
“Continue what you are already doing - the word will spread slowly but surely that this pack is something special.”
“Great job overall! We had a good year. I hope we can make it to more events next year.”
“It was a very good opportunity for us both to socialize and meet people in the community.”
“I think this year our kids got closer and enjoyed it so much more…I believe that the leadership played a huge role in accomplishing that by making the kids feel welcome and creating the atmosphere where all their characters and personalities were accepted.”
“Cubmaster Craig was very communicative and organized. He led with enthusiasm and was incredibly kind and supportive. We really appreciate the wonderful experience our son had in cub scouts and he’s excited to move up to Boy Scouts.”

The Spring Campout at Camp Bullowa in April was a MAGICAL experience! We went on hikes, learned archery and how to build a fire, we built and launched rockets, and had a campfire ceremony with a magician, skits, and s'mores!
In June, our Scouts raced their boats in the Raingutter Regatta at Central Ave Field Park and later celebrated a fantastic year of Scouting at our Blue & Gold Ceremony at Good Shepherd.
Congratulations to all of our Scouts on a great year of adventures, achievements, and memories!
The Cub Scouts teamed up with Troop 36 at our Annual Scrap Metal Drive Fundraiser at the Pearl River Nauraushaun Swim Club. The community of Pearl River came together to donate a truckload of metal to help fund our future campouts. Cub scouts learned how to take apart, chop, and sort different types of metal.
We were the FIRST scouts to look through the new telescope at St. Thomas Aquinas College.

Pearl River's Excelsior Fire Engine Company showed us the big yellow fire trucks and even let us try out the fire hose! We need more activities for kids in Pearl River like this!
