Summer 2025 Pack Activities

** Participate in any 3 Scouting activities to earn the Summertime Fun adventure **

It's summer! Dens take the summer off, and the pack offers/attends events for families who want to stay engaged.

We will keep attendance at pack activities, and will also check in with everyone at the end of the season to see if we missed anything that counts towards the Summertime Fun adventure.

Have a fun summer, everyone!

Packing list suggestions and restrictions will be sent by organizers to those who sign up. The latest info packet is also posted here. Note that stakes are not allowed on the field, so tents must be able to stand without being staked down.

Fishing

Date: July 26, 2025

Time: 9am-11am

• Please sign up for a time slot here - you don't have to come exactly at your time, but it's an attempt to space folks out since the fishing area is small.

Location: Lake Cochituate

Park on the street near 16 Bayberry Rd, Natick.

Walk in through the opening in the chain-link fence. 

Yellow Pack 40 signs will guide you to the fishing area.

Note: 16 Bayberry Rd is just a nearby address to put into the maps app, we don't know those people! Don't go to their house 😄

Cost: Free

Suggested Uniform: Class B (yellow tshirt)

Bring / other details:

• Bring: your fishing gear, Cub Scout 6 Essentials (water, whistle, snacks, sun protection, first-aid kit, flashlight) and bug spray. Extra fishing gear will be available for folks to borrow who do not have their own. Pack dads Matt and Jason will be on-hand to help those new to fishing, and make sure the Cub Scouts learn how to fish safely and have fun!

• Depending on how many sign up, expect to fish for about 10-15 minutes so the shore does not get too crowded. 

• Activities including a walking trail will be available for the kids before/after fishing.
