The Pinewood Derby is one of the most popular events in Cub Scouting. During the event, your Cub Scout will race small, driverless wooden cars down a sloped track. The cars are powered only by gravity. With an adult’s help, each Pinewood Derby car is built by a Cub Scout using a kit that includes a wooden block, plastic wheels and metal axles.

This will be a 2-night family campout. We are still finding a location and will update as soon as we know more details!

Visiting a fire station or police station with Cub Scouts is always a lot of fun! They can learn, explore, and enjoy a night at the fire station.

Because Tuesday, November 4 is Election Day, we can’t meet at Mineral Wells UMC. Instead, we will meet at the Fair Haven Volunteer Fire Department.

Your scout is invited to come have some fun at the 2024 Trunk or Treat! Dress them up in their favorite costume, bring a bucket, and enjoy the night as we walk from trunk to trunk and leave with as much candy as possible!

We also need YOU to decorate a trunk and help pass out candy. More Details to come…

This will be a fun night of seeing what your Scout has earned recently. Your whole family is invited to come and support! Please have your scout dress in Class A uniform if they have it. The ceremony will happen during the regular Den Meeting time.

All Pack 155 parents are invited to an important parent meeting!

The scouts will be having a fun night led by their den leaders. We will be discussing important dates and events for the 2024-25 year! All parents are encouraged to attend.

The meeting will take place during the regular Den Meeting time.

Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (B.A.L.O.O.) training is being offered for Cub Scout leaders at First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in Olive Branch, on September 20-21, 2024.

The cost for the training includes meals and training materials.

The raingutter regatta is the sailboat equivalent of the pinewood derby. The sailboat kit consists of a balsa wood hull, a mast, plastic sail, plastic rudder, and metal keel. Within the basic design rules, Scouts are free to paint and decorate their sailboats as they choose. Modifications for speed include the placement of the keel and rudder and the size, shape and location of the sail.

The boats are raced in a standard rain gutter that is ten feet long, placed on a table or saw horses, and filled to the top with water. The boats are propelled by blowing on the sail, either directly or through a drinking straw; the boat cannot be touched with hands or the straw. The first boat to reach the end of the gutter is the winner.

It’s a ton of fun and your Cub Scout will not want to miss this event!

Recruitment nights give parents and kids an opportunity to get to know Scouting at a personal level, face-to-face. Questions are answered, interest is built, and parents see how Scouting is for families like theirs, no matter what that family may look like. What’s more, families often enroll their children right there on the spot. That’s why we need help from our Pack!

We will have 2 Recruitment Nights this year.
