What do Cub Scouts do?

Den meetings. Cub Scouts make new friends, play purposeful games, and learn new things with small groups of boys and girls the same age. Dens usually meet one or two times a month.
Pack meetings. All the Scouts in the pack come together once a month for a pack meeting. Pack meetings feature special guests and pack-wide events like the Pinewood Derby.
Outdoors adventures. Cub Scout families have opportunities to go camping and participate in outdoor adventures. Lessons learned in the out-of-doors help to develop a lifelong respect for the environment.
Service to others. Scouts are helpful. A variety of community service projects allow us to improve the world around us.
Local Scouting events. Together with other local Scouts, our Cubs participate in special events ranging from skills competitions and educational outings to camping and hiking.

Fun, Skill, and Adventure

Pinewood Derby

Scouts build and race model cars. Kids get to express their creativity, participate in friendly competition, and explore STEM principles.

Biking

Whether it's a bike rally to learn skills and traffic safety with local bike experts or a group ride at the Rancho Cordova 4th of July Parade, Scouting's even more fun on two wheels.

Raingutter Regata

The Cub Scout Raingutter Regatta is an exciting race where Scouts build and race their own mini boats, powered only by wind! It's a splash-filled competition that combines creativity and a lot of fun!

Advancement

As the school year ends, we celebrate the success of Scouts who have earned their ranks. In March, 5th grade Scouts earn the highest Cub Scout rank, Arrow of Light, and may join a Scouting America troop.

Fundraising

Our Scouts participate in several fundraising events each year. These are great opportunities for Scouts to raise money to reduce the cost of Scouting, practice public speaking, and learn the value of working hard.

Educational Outings

We take Scouts and their families on several educational outings every year. In the past, local trips have focused on nature, conservation, history, and STEM.

Grit Starts Outdoors

The outdoors is an integral part of Scouting at all levels. Scouts leave behind technology and connect to friends and family without distractions.

Pack Campouts

All Cub Scout camping is family camping. This provides a low-stress camping introduction for younger children (and parents).

Our pack typically has a campout each fall and spring. Other campouts are organized during the year by our district and council for those who can't get enough of the outdoors.

Hiking

Cub Scouts of all ages are introduced to hiking as a way to explore the outdoors, promote physical health, and gain confidence.

Our Scouts learn about the essential items that they should bring with them when heading into the outdoors, as well as good environmental stewardship through Leave No Trace and the Outdoor Code.

Fishing

Fishing is a low-cost outdoor activity for all Scouts that's safe, fun, and rewarding. Scouts learn patience, connect with nature, and are introduced to wildlife conservation.

"To help other people at all times..."

Our Scouts learn the value of helping their community through service. We do everything from small acts as dens to larger service projects as a pack or with other Scouts from across Sacramento County and surrounding areas.

Scouting for Food

In the early spring, Pack 28 participates in Scouting for Food. The two-weekend event includes placing flyers on doors throughout the Mather, CA community, picking up food donations, and delivering to a local food bank.

Community Cleanups

Pack 28 participates in the American River Parkway Foundation clean-up events, keeping our area beaches, trails, and waterways clear of trash and other debris.

Memorial Day Flags

Each Memorial Day weekend, Pack 28 partners with the Cameillia Memorial Lawn to place flags on the graves of servicemen and women.
