Learn what camp is all about at one of the Cub Scout Open House properties. Boys will

Corn Maze
Pack 207 visits the Sauvie Island corn maze
each year. This pack activity takes place in the fall. In years
past, Pack 207 has done the regular and haunted corn maze. This is a
fun Pack, Den and Family event.
POW WOW
Each year the Boy Scouts of America hold a POW WOW where various Boy Scouting
Councils within Oregon come together to experience the ultimate training
extravaganza. This is a great opportunity to get your leader training
and learn fun activities for your den and pack meetings! Signups
for summer camp can also be done at POW WOW.
Pinewood Derby
Each year, the third Friday
in January marks 'race-day' for Pack 207. Each boy is given
a Pinewood Derby kit to create a fast, zooming race car! The
Pinewood Derby Committee begins planning in November to
get ready for the big race night in January.
Snow Play Day
Every year Cub Scout Packs can use one of the winter lodges for
a Snow Play Day. Pack 207 usually goes up to Nanitch Lodge. The
lodge has a kitchen and a nice sitting area with fireplace to stay warm.
Inner tubes are available along with a tubing hill to have fun in the snow.
In order for the Pack to use the lodge it is required that 3 people from each
Pack go up on Winter
Lodge Clean-up Day to get the lodge ready for winter use. At this
time the pack can reserve their snow play day. Sno Park permits are
required!
Blue and Gold Banquet
Each year Cub Scout Packs
around the country have a Blue & Gold banquet to celebrate Cub Scouting.
Blue signifies the sky, truth, spirituality, and loyalty. Gold
stands for warm sunlight, good cheer, and happiness. Together
they symbolize what Cub Scouting is all about.
Goodwill Good Turn
The first Saturday in March was established as the annual day for this joint
service project. This project mobilizes Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts from Longview,
Washington to Albany, Oregon and from Tillamook to The Dalles. Youth members
go door to door collecting clothing and collectibles that are given to Goodwill
Industries. Goodwill uses the process of cleaning, mending, and retailing
these goods to provide job training for disabled people. This is the largest
single-day collection of clothing and non-perishable items in the nation and
is part of the biggest job-training program for disabled Americans in the
country.
This is a chance to teach Scouts about community service. They will be traveling in pairs, knocking on doors in their neighborhood, asking for donations of used goods to help people with disabilities. This is the kind of task that builds character, social skills, and caring – qualities that we endeavor to teach our youth. This project promotes Scouting and the good deeds that result from program activities. The Scouts will earn segments and patches, and are sure to have fun.
Pack 207 Swim Party
Pack 207 has a swim party in May for
the scouts to celebrate the end of a scouting year. This event
is held at the Southwest Community Swim Center. The center has
two big pools and a big twisty slide that is fun for the whole family!
Pack 207 Campfire
Each year Pack 207 holds its June Pack meeting at Camp Ireland. This
is a pack meeting not to miss! The boys get to experience a retiring
of a flag ceremony and at the end of the meeting we roast marshmellows!
Spring Camporee
The Camporee is a special event in the
Scouting year. It is a family camping weekend for all Scouts
and Webelos. Each participant will enjoy a weekend of camping,
Scouting activities on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday including
exciting campfires and a camporee patch. All units are encouraged
