Why Cub Scouting?
Since its beginning, the Cub Scout program has been a fun and educational experience concerned with values. Besides
providing a positive place where boys can enjoy safe, wholesome
activities, Cub Scouting focuses on building character, improving
physical fitness, teaching practical skills, and developing a spirit of
community service. Read more on the Boy Scouts of America website:
The emphasis of Cub Scouting (1st - 5th grades) is to have fun and
learn at the same time. A Cub Scout learns the basics of the Scouting
method in regular den and pack meetings. These meetings include
activities geared toward teaching boys new skills and introducing them
to new experiences. Activities like hiking, climbing, archery, swimming,
fishing, camping, BB guns, and playing games with friends.
About Pack 345
Cub Scout Pack 345, Brighton, MI has been chartered by the Brighton Masonic Lodge since 1989. We strive
to provide a positive scouting experience for our boys.
Pack meetings are usually held at 7:00 pm, on the last Tuesday of
each month during the school year. We meet at Hawkins Elementary School. Den meetings are held twice per month and scheduled by each
individual
den.
Our
Pack is involved in exciting events like pinewood derby, overnight and day camps, sledding, bon fires, and sporting
events. We also plan many community service projects, volunteer at local
charities and participate in local parades/events.
We're all about fun!
In addition to monthly Pack meetings and Den meetings, we hold our
Raingutter Regatta each December and a Pinewood Derby race each March.
We plan several additional events for the scouts over the course of the
year. These events while not required, are additional opportunities for
the scouts to get together with friends, have some fun and grow. They
include overnight trips, day outings and community service activities.
Past events: USS Silversides submarine overnight, Whalers hockey games,
Toledo Mud Hens overnight, Binder Park Zoo, Howell Nature Center,
Detroit Science Center, local race shop tours, and Hartland pool swim
night.
Our Community service activities include Gleaners food bank, Hawkins
elementary school and VFW hall clean-ups, and helping with various other
local organizations.
We also participate in the Brighton Memorial Day and Fourth of July parades.
