Pack 838 - Columbia MD provides scouting activities to young boys and girls in the Columbia, MD area. Through those activities we strive to teach boys and girls the principles of scouting through respect for the individual and to develop and use their potential to the best of their ability. Our youth 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 launching model rockets. Our Cub Scouts are fierce competitors, but also excellent sportsmen.
We go hiking and camping in the Fall and Spring. 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 youth who passes through Pack 838 - Columbia MD. Our adult leaders instill good values in the youth while ensuring each boy and girl is meeting challenges, doing things they like to do and developing strong friendships throughout the year. Our cub scouts learn duty to God, country, others and self.
