Attention all Essex families with boys entering grades 1-5: on Wednesday, September 7th, there will be a Cub Scout Round-Up at Essex Elementary School from 7-7:30 pm for new scouts only. For families new to Boy Scouts or unsure what its all about, here is a snapshot provided by the Boy Scouts of America Organization: "When you’re a kid, fun comes first. Cub Scouts lets kids have fun while teaching them skills that will help them later on. From the thrill of shooting an arrow to learning how to transform a block of wood into a race car, Cub Scouts is one thrill after another. With a program expertly tailored to match each age in a young boy's life, Cub Scouts learn that even when fun isn’t easy, it’s always an adventure. In Scouting, everything has a purpose. And it shows kids that doing their best is the most fun of all.

Additionally, "each pack has dedicated leaders and volunteers who are tasked with teaching Cub Scouts both fun and valuable lessons that will help them progress in the program and in life. But what makes Cub Scouts truly unique is the opportunity it gives the entire family to be involved in each child’s development. From volunteering with the pack to leading activities at home, parents can take full advantage of the extra time they’ll have participating in their Cub Scout's life."

If you'd like to learn more about your local Boy Scout Program, please join Essex Pack 635 on Wednesday, September 7th at Essex Elementary School from 7-7:30. Please bring your potential new Cub Scout with you!
