educational activity or arts and crafts session. During weekly meetings, older Scouts who have passed through the ranks of Pack 37 often return to mentor the Cub Scouts. This gives the younger kids an opportunity to see what they are working toward and to learn from a more experienced Scout. The older kids teach the Cub Scouts about topics such as knife safety and basic camping techniques. Schlosser said his son, who is now a member of Scouts BSA Troop 267, started as a member of Pack 37 and returns regularly to assist the den leader. “He’s acquired confidence and the ability to be a good citizen from being a Scout,” Schlosser said. “It’s cool to watch. As a parent, you can see the program give kids the tools to live their lives on their own.” Pack 37 will accept vendor space reservations until Sunday, May 28.

The Scouts in Pack 37 will maintain restrooms for the event and will operate a concession stand to sell items such as hot dogs, hamburgers, egg sandwiches and pierogies. The funds raised from the concession stand and vendor space rentals will support a trip that members of Pack 37 take to a new location each year. Last year, the Scouts visited Battleship New Jersey Museum & Memorial for an overnight stay. This year’s trip is currently being planned.

In addition to an annual escapade, Pack 37 offers a variety of other events throughout the year, including camping trips, hikes, bike rides and rocket launches. Pack 37 also runs the districtwide Pinewood Derby event annually. Once a week, members of the group meet for an
