WHAT: These are monthly meetings that all Scouts and their families attend. There will be a variety of activities depending on the theme. At the end of the Pack Meeting, Dens break out by age to complete rank requirements, earn electives, and have fun. An adult family member is required to attend with their Scout.

WHEN: Two Tuesdays a month at 6:00 p.m. (during the school year). Check the calendar for the next meeting.

WHERE: Eastminster Presbyterian Church, 106 N Riverside Dr, Indialantic, FL 32903

Playdate & socialization for the kids, and business meeting for adults! Feel free to come either with or without your kids. We need everyone's help to keep this going! If there's any trips you want to do or ideas about what you want to change up, this is your chance. 

As a Pack, we are planning to attend Cub Holiday at Camp La-No-Che on December 6-8. Register at https://scoutingevent.com/083-CubHoliday, Select Unit "Pack 3380 Family" and we will be placed in a group campsite together. The cost is high to Camp at La-No-Che, but it is a picturesque BSA camp site with non-stop fun planned for us. The price goes up after 11/6: $40/Scout, $18/Adult,  You can also buy a T-shirt for $19. 

Your family brings your own camping gear and joins the action packed event where activities are led by camp employees. The Pack will not provide meals. Our family likes to bring an easy dinner like sandwiches Friday, then we purchase the $32/3 Meal Meal Option to eat together in the cafeteria on Saturday. Then we have a light/snacky breakfast on our way out on Sunday. 

If you want to make it cheaper, you can plan to bring your own meals and skip the t-shirt. If this is too expensive for your family, please help us plan our next fundraiser to pay your way next time.

There will be a chance for youth to practice Shooting Sports (Slingshot, Archery and BBs) at Council and District events throughout the year.  Events are lead by trained rangemasters who teach Scouts how to use equipment safely. If you have a special interest in shooting sports, you can volunteer to be trained as a Rangemaster.

We will have fun walking, smiling, waving, and handing out candy in the Melbourne Beach Volunteer Fire Department Children’s Christmas Parade on December 14th. The parade starts at 9:00 a,m. We will have a large bucket of candy for members of our group to hand to parade spectators.  Wear your uniform with festive accessories if you have them. 

These are fun events where Cub Scouts work on outdoor skills and have fun with their friends outdoors. We go to a group campsite, eat meals as a group, enjoy a campfire together, and sleep in tents with our families. Extra fees are minimal to cover costs of site reservation, supplies, and meals. We need adult volunteers to pull the trailer, organize meals, and plan activities to do Pack Campouts.

Enjoy 2 nights of camping with thousands of scouts from across the nation in Daytona International Speedway’s iconic infield the third week of January at a special event for Scouts. Your family will have a unique experience as we watch the preparation for the running of the Rolex 24 At DAYTONA. In 2024 it was $30 per ticket for early birds and $40 per ticket if you signed up after the deadline. There were races going on through out the weekend, track walk on Saturday morning, garage tour, tram tour, Pinewood Derby Sunday morning. We will need a volunteer to take the lead on organizing tickets for our group in 2025 if we wish to attend.

On a Sunday in February, Eastminster Presbyterian Church will invite Cub Scout Families to a service to recognize the contributions of young people and adults to Scouting. Scouts that participate earn a special collectors' emblem.

Blue and Gold Banquets are a tradition in Cub Scout packs. They are a celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the BSA on February 8, 1910. Volunteers pick a theme. Sometimes we hire an entertainer. In 2024 it was during the Pinewood Derby,

Selling camp cards is an easy, no risk way to teach Cub Scouts the value of "earning their way." Camp Cards are discount cards to various businesses in the Central Florida Council service area. Camp Cards sold for $10 each in 2023. Last time we asked each scout to sell at least 5 of them to help our Pack. Scouts got $1.50 commission per card in their Scout Account to use toward Scouting fees, extra prizes if they sold more. 

The kids had a great time at the pack meeting where we built boats out of recycled materials and raced them! At another pack meeting we made boats out of aluminum foil. We have the rain gutters in storage, so we will do it again sometime.

Part of Cub Scouts is that we do service projects for our Citizenship Adventure. “Scouting for Food” is the nation’s largest single-day food drive. It began as a Scout’s service project in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1985. The goal is to help feed those in need in all of our communities.  In 2024 our pack collected 100 grocery bags full of food for the food bank.

First Saturday in November - 9:00 a.m. meet to get empty plastic grocery bags and be assigned to a neighborhood between Paradise and 192 to distribute door to door in Indialantic.

Second Saturday in November - 9:00 a.m. meet to be assigned to return to a neighborhood between Paradise and 192 in Indialantic to pick up filled plastic grocery bags. Return the collected bags to Eastminster by 10:30 for a couple of cars to count up and deliver to Daily Bread Food Bank, 1408 Morningside Dr., Melbourne, FL 32901 (10am-1pm).

Map with Plan

On the weekend of November 15th-17th, 2024, 4th and 5th Graders attended this FREE event for weekend camping or day-only attendance. This weekend was an action-packed chance for Webelos and AOLs to interact with the Scout Troops of Riverside District. Saturday was full of learning or sharpening of scout skills, functioning as a patrol, parent training, competitions, games, troop visitations, and good old-fashioned Scout Fun. 

For many Kindergarten and 1st grade Families, this is their first experience at Camp La-No-Che.  This weekend is designed with you in mind. Come with your den or come as a family!
