Cub Scouts Pack 6, Cranston, RI

Thanks to everyone who attended the Raingutter Regatta. We sincerely hope that everyone enjoyed themselves as much as we did. The children did a wonderful job designing, painting, and racing their boats to the finish line.

Congratulations to everyone who attended. This event is about much more than just pushing the boats to the finish line. It is about taking pride in your accomplishments. It is about coming together as a pack to enjoy being together.

Our pack camping trip to Cub World was a great success. It was a weekend filled with adventure, excitement, and tons of fun. The scouts slept inside castles, shot footballs from a catapult, performed skits by the fire, roasted marshmallows, and much much more. It was a weekend full of games and events, hiking trips, meals by the camp fire, and fun for everyone involved.

We would like to thank everyone who attended our 2009 Fishing Derby. We hope that everyone enjoyed themselves. If you would like to view photos of the derby, please click here. Thank you.

Cranston Pack 6 would like to take this time to recognize our recent Webelos II scouts who have moved on to Boy Scouts. Many of you joined us on February 23rd to congratulate Robert, Kenny, and Kevin on their transition to Boy Scouts. The Crossover ceremony is where our Webelos II scouts earn their Arrow of Light, which is the highest rank in Cub Scouting. It is also the only badge that may be worn on the Boy Scout uniform. During this ceremony, the graduating scouts "crossed over" the ceremonial crossover bridge signifying their transition from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. This is a proud moment for the scouts, their families, and the entire pack. Congratulations to each of you and enjoy your time in Boy Scouts. We hope that the time you spent here with Cranston Pack 6 was memorable for you. If you would like to enjoy some photos of the event, please click here. Thank you.
