Cub Scouts are always prepared, and you should be too! Don’t miss your opportunity to bring your kindergartener through 5th grader to the first meeting of the year and learn more about Jonesboro Pack 523.

The fun begins with Recruiting Night on Thursday, September 11, at 6:00 pm at Life Church in Jonesboro. At this event, you will learn about the scouting program and get answers to any questions you may have. Your children will have the opportunity to meet the leaders, join fellow scouts, and get a taste of the pack meetings. All are welcome, and no registration is required to attend Recruiting Night.

There is never a dull moment when you are a Cub Scout! Your child will unlock opportunities to go on camp-outs, where there is plenty of canoeing, fishing, and hiking. Age-appropriate den meetings are scheduled weekly, covering topics such as knife safety, bicycling, community service, and much more. Additionally, scouts have multiple opportunities to build and race derby cars, hike, and attend field trips.

If you know a boy or girl who would enjoy the action and excitement of scouts, all while developing character and responsibility, don’t miss this meeting! Exciting events are already planned for the month of September, and you can be a part!

If you are interested in experiencing the fun of Scouting America, contact Cubmaster Brian Hurt by phone at (318)734-5371 or by email at bhurt.pack523@gmail.com. We hope to see you on September 11th at Life Church, located at 735 Pershing Hwy in Jonesboro.
