If you are a returning scout to Pack 279, you’re not going to want to miss our Movie Night on Friday, August 18. The movie night is the last event you need to attend this summer to qualify for the Pack Summertime Activities Patch (if you attended Space Derby and Scout Night at the Senators).

Let us know you are coming by completing the TimeToSignUp.com form.

On movie night, we gather as a pack and award recognitions earned at Cub Camp and Webelos Camp. We eat great food, we preview popcorn sales. We give parents a chance to sign up for popcorn Show and Sales. We watch a great movie on a screen under the stars.

Returning scouts who complete all paperwork and are paid in full on Scout Movie Night receive a very special bead for their wampum.
