Cub Scout Pack 107 is a year round family Scouting program for boy and girls entering grade K-5. Even with summer vacation, we continued to have fun activities evry month to keep out Scouts active and gives our Scouts opportunities to earn awards such as the Cub Scout Summer Time Activity Award and the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award. In addition our Pack gets to earn a National Summer Time Pack Award.
On Memorial Day, while most Americans mark this as the unofficial start of summer events, we remember and honor our heroes who made the biggest and ultimate sacrifice fighting for our freedom. We also remember and honor all first responders who have sacrificed their lives for our safety.
Cub Scout Scout Pack 107, along with all the other Grafton Scouting organizations, marched in the Grafton Memorial Day Parade, first one since the COVID-19 pandemic. A Scout does their best to do their duty to God and their Country. A Scout is reverent. These young Cub Scout are learning at a young age what that means.

The Scouts learned about the Box Auction/ Yard Sale to benefit Friends of Scouting the was held the following morning. Our Scouts enjoyed a fun game of “Scout Says”, then awards were presented for hiking miles and for Scouts were earned the Outdoor Activity Award. The Meeting moved outdoors where the the Scouts formed farmer and farm animal groups, and played a game of Marshmallow Treasure Hunt. The goal is for each farmer-animal team to find the most marshmallows, and the teams can only communicate via their animal sounds. The Lions were the dog group, the Tigers were the chicken group, the Bears were the Bird group and the Webelos were the owl group. In the end, the Owl group found the most marshmallows but everyone was a winner! We all enjoyed an ice cream sandwich treat to celebrate the last Pack Meeting before Advancement!
