The Rain Gutter Regatta gives Cub Scouts a chance to make a model sail boat and race it with others.  Traditionally, rain gutters were closed on each end and filled with water to serve as the race course.  Today, options include plastic and inflatable courses.

Cub Scout families have opportunities to go camping and to participate in outdoor adventures.  Lessons learned in the out-of- doors help to develop a life-long respect for the environment.

​

Pack 442 hosts 2 campouts per year, with one each in the Fall and Spring.  Locations are typically in Central Texas ensuring they are accessible for our busy families.

Partnered with a parent or guardian, Cub Scouts work together, strengthening bonds and building confidence – and their own custom race cars! They begin with an official Pinewood Derby Race Car kit, then create a design, then carve it from the wood block provided in the kit, and detail it with paint, decals and other accessories, and perfect strategies to compete in their pack’s own Pinewood Derby. It’s s a wonderful learning experience centered on teamwork, ingenuity and sportsmanship – all for the thrill of the race and a lifetime of great memories to share with fellow racers young and old.

Blue and Gold Banquets are a tradition in Cub Scout packs.  They are a celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the BSA on February 8, 1910, and therefore usually take the place of the February pack meeting.  Often, badges of rank are awarded.  The Arrow of Light ceremony may even be included as the 5th graders cross over to a troop.  Sometimes community leaders or special guests are invited to attend.  The meal can be a pot-luck dinner or other arrangements can be made – whatever suits your pack.
