Family Camping Trips
Pack 284 will usually plan at least 1 family camping trip per year. Camping typically starts Friday evening and ends Sunday morning. Boys and family are encourage to attend ANY part they can of the camping trips. Some may choose to just spend the day Saturday and leave after the campfire program, others may chose to skip Friday nights, but stay Saturday. These experiences are meant to provide a safe and fun outdoor experience.

Blue & Gold Banquet
The blue and gold banquet is a birthday dinner typically held in February for the Cub Scouting program. Boy Scouts of America was organized in February 1910 and the Cub Scouts was organized 20 years later in 1930. The Blue and Gold Banquet is one of the highlights of the program year. It is also our goal for all scouts to achieve their rank advancement during this celebration. Therefore, it is also a family affair that brings our entire group together in a way that regular pack meetings don’t. It is an evening of fun and celebration for all!
Memorial Day Parade
At the end of the year, we march in the Wayne Memorial Day Parade. This is a great ending to the year and a visible way for the community to recognize our boys.
