Cub Scout Pack

selling popcorns

Cub Scout Pack 338 is selling a variety of popcorn. The popcorn benefits the scouting program. It is their once a year fundraiser. Please buy some popcorn from the pack, it would be greatly appreciated. Cub Scout pack 338 is off to a great start. Recently, they had a camp-out at Camp Kickapoo where they learned a variety of common outdoor skills, including map and compass, knot tying, fire tending and shelter building. There were more than 100 people in attendance. Five Boy Scouts from Tuttle Troop 338 voluntarily helped staff this activity.   The next event we will be attending is the cub-mobile in Duncan. Before the event, the cub scouts make one car per den. Then, they compete with other cub scout packs in the county in down hill races. They use their feet to steer their cars.
