Join us for our Popcorn Kickoff Meeting, where we’ll gear up for our biggest fundraiser of the year!

Parent Leader Meeting

Can you believe it’s almost back-to-school time again? As we prepare for the new school year, let’s focus on growing Pack 1!
We’ll have tables at Pennridge’s back-to-school nights at Grasse, Sellersville, and West Rock Hill on September 10th (grades K-2) and September 12th (grades 3-5). We need volunteers to help set up small displays, collect contact information, and supervise scouts as they distribute flyers to parents.
Please sign up for a 6:30 PM shift if possible – that’s when most parents attend. Scouts, please wear your Class A uniforms. Adults, please wear Class B T-shirts if you have them (we have extras if you need one).
Last year, we had great success recruiting new members through this effort. Let’s make this year even better!

A Cub Scout push cart derby is a fun and exciting event where Scouts design and race homemade pushcarts. Pack 1 has two push carts, and we will forms teams of 4. When possible we will mix many ranks to gather to have older and younger scouts work as a team.

The derby is held on a designated track, usually a flat surface like a parking lot or field. Scouts take turns pushing their carts, with the fastest time winning. Winners receive awards and prizes, including a ribbon for our pack flag. All participants are encouraged to participate and have fun, regardless of the outcome.

Push cart derbies are a popular event among Cub Scout packs, as they offer a fun and educational experience for both Scouts and their families. It’s a great way to foster teamwork, creativity, and a love of engineering.

– Inspection begins at 9am
– Racing begins at 10am
