On October 6, 2024, members of Pack 620 helped the St. Luke’s Feeding the 5000 Food Drive sort canned goods and other food donations into cartons for shipping to food pantries. The Scouts and their family members sorted food for two hours and filled up one moving trunk and the half of another truck with boxes of food. Everyone had a great time. Our Pack also contributed to the food drive with donations. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Scouts from Pack 620 had a great time marching in the Highlands Ranch 4th of July Parade on July 4, 2024. Our Scouts marched with Packs from around the area and handed out candy and American flags to kids along the parade route. 

In March 2024, Pack 620 held its Spring fundraiser to help support our Scouting activities. We choose Butter Braids because the Pack receives $6 from the sale of every $15 in pastry sold (that’s 40 percent back to our Pack!). Our goal this year was to raise between $1,800 – $2,000 if 30 scouts each sold 12 butter braids.

This year, our Pack sold 173 items and raised a profit of $1,090! Thirteen Scouts participated in the fundraising this year. Next year, we’re hoping we can have a slightly longer selling period and also do it before Spring Break so that we can make more money for Pack activities.

Thank you to everyone for supporting our Pack 620 Butter Braid Fundraising campaign!

On April 27, 2024, Pack 620’s Lion and Tiger Dens visited the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg to bring items that the Scouts and their families had collected as part of a service project. Over the past two months, the Scouts had been collecting items that the animals needed. This included gently used blankets and towels from their families, friends, neighbors, and local hotels. In addition, the Scouts collected donations of items that bears, tigers and lions like to eat such as fresh fruit and vegetables, fruit roll-ups, jumbo marshmallows, dog food, cat food, reddi-whip canned whipped cream and canned evaporated milk. (The Scouts loved that the animals liked marshmallows and whipped cream!) The Scouts also learned about the Sanctuary and their care of animals. Unfortunately, it rained really heavy that day so we didn’t get to see many animals but we’re headed back one day when the weather is nice!

On April 14, 2024, Pack 620 Scouts had a blast launching their rockets off and then chasing them across the field! Luckily, we managed to recover the majority of the rockets except for a couple that managed to land in trees and other inaccessible areas. A big thanks to Cubmaster Steve Dean for organizing this year’s launch and managing the launch pads.

On March 12, 2024, Pack 620 held our Arrow of Light ceremony and Crossover. Ten Scouts received the Arrow of Light, the highest rank in Cub Scouts. The Scouts that Crossed Over included: Anderson, Dustin, Phoebe, Jack, Eli, Travis, Logan, Finn, Lochlann, and Nicholas. The ceremony was organized by the AOL’s Den Leader Jared Hostmeyer and featured Mr. Cleatus Cayou, a member of the Omaha Tribe of Macy, Nebraska. Mr. Cayou told stories to the Scouts (including his grandson) that helped them to reflect on the transition they were making and the choices they would face in the future.

The racing was fast and furious at the Pinewood Derby on February 10, 2024 as the Pack’s best racers competed for the fastest time on the track and for other derby prizes. Here are the results of this year’s Derby:

At our January 2024 Pack meeting, the Scouts learned how to conserve and repurpose many items they used every day. We asked parents to bring recycled materials from home and asked Scouts to create something new from them. The Scouts came up with many imaginative projects, from bird houses and movable mouse traps to robots and other inventions! Our Scouts definitely demonstrated the value of thriftiness, an element of the Scout Law, which was the focus of the meeting. Thanks to Cubmaster Steve Dean for this inspiring meeting!

Scouts and their families had a blast helping out at Operation Santa Claus on December 21, 2023. Operation Santa Claus provides presents and grocery gift cards to families with children throughout the Denver metro community. The Scouts used their extensive knowledge of toys to help people pick out the appropriate toy for each kid on a family’s list. Scouts, along with their parents, also helped families wrap presents. In addition, some Scouts and their parents got to help deliver the presents and grocery gift cards to the families. At the end, we got our picture with Santa Claus. A big thank you to Cubmaster Dean for organizing this service project.

In the spirit of community and generosity, the Arrow of Light (AOL) den of our Cub Scout Pack took a significant step in making a difference this holiday season. Following a successful and fun-filled Pack Bingo Night, our enthusiastic AOL scouts used the proceeds, nearly $500, to embark on a heartwarming shopping spree. Their mission? To purchase new toys for children who could use an extra smile.

Armed with the spirit of giving and a budget made possible by our supportive Pack families, the scouts ventured out, carefully selecting a variety of toys that would bring joy and excitement. Their adventure wasn’t just about shopping; it was a learning experience in budgeting, empathy, and community service. The culmination of this journey was a visit to a drive for the Boys and Girls Club of Denver, where our AOL den donated the toys. The excitement and joy in the air were palpable as they handed over the toys, knowing they were about to make a significant difference in other children’s lives.

Our scouts had a blast, not only in choosing the toys but also in understanding the value of giving back to their community. It’s moments like these that define the true spirit of Scouting — building character and skills while making a positive impact. We are incredibly proud of our AOL den and all our Pack members who contributed to this successful initiative. Here’s to more smiles, more acts of kindness, and continued community service!
