Delaware Ohio Cub Scouts Pack 318

Just a reminder that parent info night will take place this evening, Wed 8/21 at 5:30pm at First Presbyterian Church.

Scouting is .

Did you know? 95% of Scouts agree that Scouting helps develop their character. Scouting isn't just about outdoor adventures. It's about shaping young people into individuals of strong character and values.

Want to give your child an edge in life? Find a Scout troop near you! Go to beascout.org to start your Scouting journey today!

If you missed us at Back to School night, you can still find out more at our parents meeting!

Fundraising is so pivotal to the success of our Program! When you buy a $10 popcorn tub, roughly $3.50 goes directly to our local Pack and another $3.50 goes to our area Council. It truly is more donation than popcorn purchase! Please consider donating so we can give the Scouts as many opportunities as possible.

We are so excited to announce a community service project for our pack! We have joined the TREX Film recycling challenge starting April 1st (no fooling!). For the next six months, our goal is to collect 500 pounds of plastic bags. It may sound like a lot, but another pack in our district did it in four months and I believe in YOU! Not only will this be good for our environment, but if we meet our goal the will give us a beautiful composite bench made from recycled plastic. We hope to meet the goal and donate the bench to First Presbyterian Church as they have been so welcoming to our pack. If you would like to learn more about the program, check out their website.

See the image for what is acceptable to collect. They prefer us to make several deliveries instead of one, so we don’t need to worry about taking up too much space. You can bring your donations to our Treasurer, Deedra, at anytime. Bring it to pack or den meetings, drop off on her porch at 83 Carolyn Ln, or send her a message and she will make arrangements to pick up. You can also ask your neighbors, your school, your work to contribute. Spread the word and let’s do this!
