Cub Scout Pack 1101

Pack 1101 provides craft, skill, and family activities for Nativity’s boys in grades 1-5. Dens meet three times a month from September to May to work on advancement requirements, crafts, and skills, and participate in skits and songs. The Dens gather monthly for a Pack meeting to share their activities and receive recognition for their accomplishment. The highlight of the year is the Pinewood Derby when the boys craft model race cars from wood and are then judged for best looking and raced for fastest in the Den and Pack. Summer activities include family camping and outings to Prince William Cannons baseball games and the U. S. Marine Corps Twilight Parade. Each scout has the opportunity to attend a week-long summer day or resident camp. Contact Mark Matthews 703-346-8531.
