Cub Scouts
For over 80 years, Cub Scouts have been having the time of their lives making new friends and learning new things in an environment designed to help them succeed. From building his own pinewood derby® car to learning how to roast the perfect marshmallow with his best friends at a family campout, your son will LOVE being a Cub Scout with St. Andrew's Pack 717.  All boys in Grades K through 5 are welcome to join. The monthly Pack Meeting is on a Monday at 6:15 pm. Contact Helen Martin for further details.
