2011-12 Pack Events (Monthly Details)
(Yearly Planning Calendar (PDF))


Pack Overview

Pack 710 draws most of it's membership from  Sherwood Oregon. We meet at Archer Glen Elementary, but have scouts from most of the elementary schools in town.  We have about 90 boys (grades 1-5) divided into 12 dens. Our pack generally meets on the last Tuesday of the month and we also have one Pack activity a month.

This website is meant to give parents information about the activities of your pack including pack outings, service projects, and contact information. We are also working on adding information and links to help with your son's advancement.

Upcoming Pack Events (updated 8-May-2012):

Spring Recruiting at Schools
Cub Scout recruiting season is upon us!  We’re hoping you consider Scouting as one of the best opportunities to enhance your sons’ character development into young adulthood.  Every experience in Scouting is centered on teaching Cub Scouting’s 12 Core Values, with a priority on having fun.  Those of us who have made the commitment have joined a great community of parents who see the value in the Scouting program.  If you want the best return on time invested for your son, we believe there is no better choice.  Boys age 6 through 10 are eligible to join Cub Scouts, starting as early as the last day of kindergarten.

This year we want to inform everybody of our plans to start a new Cub Scout Pack in Sherwood, with a targeted start in the Fall of 2013.  Beginning this Spring, Pack 710 is recruiting from Edy Ridge, in addition to our traditional recruiting at Archer Glen and Hopkins.  Our intent is to seamlessly grow the new Pack within Pack 710, train the new leadership within our ranks, and create the new Pack when the leadership and membership structure enables it.  Our plans are highly dependent on recruiting new parent volunteers and leaders, so please contact us when you are ready to join!

Pack 710 Spring Join Night, May 9, 6:30pm, Archer Glen Cafeteria
All families interested in joining Cub Scouts are welcome to join us at our Spring Join Night, Wednesday May 9.  We hope to answer all questions about scouting, and sign up as many new Scouts as possible!  There will be games for Scouts and siblings, a light snack, and tons of information distributed to parents.  We encourage all families to join early and participate with the Pack in our summer time activities, starting with Packrageous! (see below).

Note to current Cub Scouts: If you recruit a friend into the Pack you can earn a special recruiting patch for your uniform! (see LINK)

May Pack Event - ICE SKATING!  Sunday May 20, 1-3:30pm
All scouts, siblings and new recruits are invited to skate with us at the Sherwood ice rink.  We've arranged a special Pack rate of $7 per person which includes skates, ice time, and a $1 voucher for a hot dog and drink.  Scouts are encouraged to wear their Class B uniforms (Pack t-shirt).  Come on out and carve up some ice!



Pack Meeting, Tuesday May 29, 7pm, Archer Glen Cafeteria

Our last Pack meeting for the school year is already here!  All new scouts from Spring Join Night are invited to arrive early (6:30pm) for orientation and to meet with the Pack leadership for Den assignments.  We will be having our usual fun and games, and will wrap up the evening by celebrating the advancement of our Tiger Scouts.  Tiger Den 4 is hosting.

Packrageous!  Magness Tree Farm, Sherwood Oregon - NEW DATE JUNE 16!  Starting 2pm
Come join Pack 710 for our end-of-the-year family field day and BBQ.  All Scouts, siblings, and potential scouts and siblings are welcome to join us.  This year's theme is Survival Scout!  We already have several great ideas for activities and as always we're seeking parent volunteers to help out.  Please let your Den Leader or the Cubmaster know if you'd like to volunteer.

The Pack will provide the main dish at the BBQ, and each den is asked to bring sides according to the following assignments:
        Den 1, 3  Webelos 2 - Deserts
        Den 4 Tigers - Chips, dip, crackers
        Den 5, 8  Bears - Vegetables, dip, green salads
        Den 9, 10  Wolves - Fruits, fruit salad
        Den 11, 12   Bears - Bread, rolls, etc.

It has been decided by Pack leadership that Packrageous will be moved to June 16-17 this year, to avoid baseball tournaments and Cruise-In.  This move gives us the best opportunity for maximum participation, and for putting on a successful program.  Registered Scouts can sign up at the May Pack meeting to stay Saturday night in the cabins.


Pack Bylaws, adopted March 13
In the interest of improving Pack operations, Pack Leadership has developed and approved formal Bylaws.  The Bylaws are intended to specify all aspects of Pack operation including roles and responsibilities, policies, financial matters, membership, awards, uniform standards, etc.  All parents in the Pack are expected to read and understand the Bylaws, and where necessary contribute to their improvement.  Revision A of the Bylaws are linked HERE, and will reside permanently in the Parent Info page linked above.
