On April 25, 2022, our Arrow of Light Scouts bridged over to Scouts BSA, two of our female Arrow of Light Scouts, Caitlen I-C and Tabatha P. joined Troop 214G, a Scouts BSA Girls unit in Riverdale. It has been a pleasure to have Casandra Inigo-Cartagena as their den leader and future Scoutmaster at. Her son, Aedan I-C will be joining Troop 298 in College Park. They have already begun completing basic scout skills. Way to go Scouts!
Nearly all of our scouts have completed or are really close to completing their rank, now we look forward to summer! We hope the rising COVID numbers won’t affect our summer fun!
On Saturday, April 23rd, we led the Anacostia Watershed Earth Day cleanup We had 34 volunteers show up to help us clean the Little Paint Branch Park. We collected 16 bags of trash and 13 bags of recycling. We also found a door and a window. Building trash has found at our last two cleanups.
Interested in discovering the fun of Cub Scouts for your child? Beginning June 1st, we will start a new year. In the summer we do outdoor STEM and nature activities. Please contact Regina Halper at Pack1031cubscouting@gmail.com for information. We are a family scouting unit. We learn outdoor skills, citizenship, STEM, nature and do service. Over 85% of our scouts earn their rank each year! We are still being cautious, we meet weekly (either virtually or in person in the outdoors), stay arm’s length apart and we keep it fun! If the numbers are up, we do wear masks unless we are biking or hiking in family groups. Our den leaders are 100% vaccinated and our scouts too!
