Join Scouts Night set for Thursday in Seymour

Seymour’s two Cub Scout packs will host a Join Scouts Night at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at each public school in Seymour.

Students who attend private schools or are homeschooled also are welcome to attend and join a pack.

The packs are especially excited to be part of the Scout Me In movement in which boys and girls from kindergarten through fifth grade are welcome to join, Pack 526 Cubmaster Bonnye Good said in a news release. Cub Scouts is a family-friendly organization dedicated to teaching good community membership while having fun.

Each pack participates in district events such as the Shoot-O-Ree and Splash-O-Ree at Maumee Scout Reservation, and families get to enjoy being at the camp while learning new skills and gaining confidence.

Each pack also participates in the traditional Pinewood Derby in which boys and girls of all ages can design, build and race their own wooden cars to see who takes home the trophy.

Other pack activities include camping, meeting with community leaders or taking field trips to police or fire stations. Through it all, Scouts learn about teamwork, leadership and community service.

Pack 526 meets at 6:30 p.m. Mondays at St. Ambrose Catholic School, 301 S. Chestnut St., Seymour. For information, contact Good at 812-216-5969 or [email protected] or search for Pack 526 on Facebook.
