The Race Begins August 14th!!!

Join us August 14th at Joe's Sports at 6:30pm for food and drink and to celebrate the start of the race.

The goal of Race to Cub Scouting is to make sure that every young boy is invited to join and participate in the Cub Scouting program.  Cub Scouting has been helping parents work with their sons to learn important life skills and at the same time letting them have fun together on projects like building a pinewood derby car or building a bug house at day camp.

Below you will find the tools necessary to help you plan for a successful fall recruitment.   Make sure to invite every young boy from 1st grade to 5th grade.  How would you feel if you weren't invited to the best party in town?

FREE PINEWOOD DERBY CARS!!!

Yes, they are free.  Yes, there is a catch.  Your pack must have:

  • Turned in the Race to Cub Scouting commitment form no later than August 22.

and...

  • Recruited enough new Scouts to have a 10% gain in registered members by December 15th, 2008 versus the pack's registered year end membership as of December 31st, 2007.

or,

  • Have a 20% increase in rechartered members for 2009 versus the number of rechartered members in the pack for 2008.
  • And recharter on time (December 15, 2008).

Use the form below to order your cars.  You must meet all the requirements to qualify.
