SIGN UP Camp Card Kick Off We’re excited to announce the kick-off of our annual Camp Card program, an opportunity for our Cub Scouts to raise funds for their adventures while learning valuable skills like goal-setting and communication. Each Scout will have the chance to sell discount cards that offer deals at local businesses, with proceeds supporting their scouting activities, including camp fees. The cards sell for $10 with the proceeds split $5 for Mecklenburg County Council BSA and $5 for the individual scouts. All proceeds are credited to the Scoutbook account for use on camping trips, activities or other Pack events. We’ll be sharing detailed information, including sales tips and key dates during this week's meeting. You can check out as many camp cards as you like over the coming weeks and return anything that the Scouts didn't sell with no obligation.    Pinewood Derby Workshop – February 1, 2025   The Pinewood Derby race is coming up on Saturday, February 22.
