Pack 587 provides scouting activities to young boys and girls in the Chandler, AZ area. Through those activities we strive to teach youth the principles of scouting through respect for the individual and to develop and use their potential to the best of their ability. Our kids like things that go fast! So we offer opportunities like building and racing model cars in the Pinewood Derby, building our bicycle skills while riding in rallies and flying model spaceships in the Space Derby. Our Cub Scouts are fierce competitors, but also excellent sportspersons.
We go hiking and camping in the spring, summer and fall. We participate in activities like swimming, climbing walls, archery and BB guns. We toast marshmallows and make smores over a campfire, sing songs and play silly games. We study the natural world and the wildlife that lives in it while respecting the environment and leaving no trace when we go home. All of this we do in the spirit of scouting.
We have fun while learning and building character in every boy and girl who passes through Pack 587. Our adult leaders instill good values in the kids while ensuring each kid is meeting challenges, doing things they like to do and developing strong friendships throughout the year. We encourage boys and girls to recognize their duty to God and encourage each and their adult leaders to be faithful in their religious duties. Our cub scouts learn duty to God, country, others and self.
