šØš»āš©š»āš¦š»āš¦š» Family Involvement
This is it ā the final year of Cub Scouting, and it is one to savor. Your Scout has come a long way since their first den meeting, and the Arrow of Light year is a chance to celebrate everything they have learned and accomplished.
We encourage all Arrow of Light families to stay actively involved this year ā attend the campouts, cheer at the Pinewood Derby, and don't miss the Crossover Ceremony. These are the moments you'll look back on fondly for years to come.
While many den meetings no longer require a parent or guardian at every meeting, we still encourage all Pack 972 families to stay involved and join us whenever they can! (Some activities still require adult participation)
š Uniforms
A cub scout shirt and belt is required to be worn at all Pack and Den meetings and events as well as all public facing events and outings.
š Service Project Coordinators
As part of scouting's emphasis on Service, the Arrow of Light families will take the lead on finding and organizing the Pack's Service projects each year.
