National Summertime Activity Award

Pack 155 is proud to have earned the National Summertime Activity Pack Award by hosting at least 3 summertime activities, one each in the months of June, July, and August. We did double that by having two events in June & August while keeping only 1 in July due to summer camps that month.

In June we went to the CubScout Bulls-eye Shootout and to the Scout Night at The Camden Riversharks.  In July we went to BounceU.  In August we camped out at the Renaissance Faire and went Hiking in Wissahickon Park.

Here are some statistics on a pack level;

• 65% of our boys participated in a Summer Scouting Activity of some sort.
• 60% of our boys participated in Pack Summer Activities.
• 55% attended 3 or more Pack Summer Activities.
• On average, 57% of the pack was active through Summer
• July was our most active month with 60% participation
• Our most popular events were BounceU at 55% and the Shootout and Hike at 45%

Recognition doesn’t end there. 3 of our dens earned the National Summertime Den Participation Ribbon for having a 50% or better participation rate. The Tiger Den (now the Wolf Den), the Bear Den (now Webelos 1), and the Webelos 1 Den (now Weblos 2) earned this ribbon.

For those of us who like numbers;

• The Bear den (now Webelos 1) was the most active den at 70% participation.
• The most active den in a given month was the Bears at 78% in July.
• The most active den at a given event was the Bears with 67% participation at both BounceU and the Hike.

The Scouts

Lastly and most importantly, we’d like to thank the boys and parents who participated with us. Ten of our boys earned the National Summertime Activity Pin for their rank by attending at least 1 event in each of the Summer months. There were 3 Tigers, 1 Wolf, 5 Bears and 1 Webelos earning their pins.  While they did not earn the pin we did have 3 other boys participate in Summer activities. One attended 3 pack activities; 2 in June and 1 in July. One attended 2 pack activities, both in August and a 3rd boy attended Summer Camp in July.
