Cub Scout Pack 330 holding Fall Roundup on Monday, Sept. 18
    Scouting is fun with a purpose, and the purpose is to raise boys who respect themselves and others, and who have strong character. One of scouting’s biggest benefits is the structured exposure to skills and practical knowledge needed in family, career, and community. Scouting builds children’s self-esteem; kids have fun learning and earning achievements and recognition. We welcome boys and families of all backgrounds.
