Cub Scouts seeking new members

Despite the pandemic, Sylva’s Cub Scout Pack 999 has been staying active and is currently seeking new members to join the group. 

The Pack returned to in-person meetings in mid-October but turned to Zoom as cases began to spike over the holiday season. Keeping the momentum going was vital to the Pack so the Scouts and their families could stay engaged, on track, and have something to look forward to while staying mostly in their own homes.

The Pack participated in Cub Parent Weekend organized by the Daniel Boone Council and has adopted the Bradley Fork Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, hiking the 5-mile section while performing cleanup duties. 

Boys and girls ages 5 to 10 or in elementary school from kindergarten to fifth grade can join Cub Scouts. Youth 11-17 are eligible to join Scouts BSA.
