Annual Events

Day Camp is a flagship summer event. Held over five days at Locust Shade Park, it’s run by the Aquia District (not just our Pack) and brings together Cub Scouts from across the area. Activities include BB guns, archery, crafts, games, songs, and a closing campfire. Drop-off and pick-up each day — not overnight.

Camp Ross is the Cub Scout resident camp at Goshen Scout Reservation in western Virginia. Older Cub Scouts — Webelos and Arrow of Light — attend a full week (Sunday through Saturday) of overnight camp; the specific week shifts year to year. The program includes Scout skills, swimming, boating, shooting sports, hiking, and campfires. Resident camp is optional and registered through the council.

Pack-wide camping happens a few times during the program year, usually starting with a fall campout in September or October. These are family campouts — parents and siblings come along. We typically camp at area parks rather than the larger Scouting reservations. Some of our campouts are Pack-only outings; others are District-run events (like Cuboree) where multiple Packs come together.

No camping experience required. Veteran families help newer families get set up. The Pack provides program activities (campfires, hikes, games, service projects) and you bring your own tent and food.

Scouting for Food is a national Scouting America tradition. Over two weekends in early November, Scouts distribute door-hangers asking neighbors to leave non-perishable food on their porches, then return the next weekend to collect donations and deliver them to local food banks. It’s one of the largest service events of the year and a great introduction to citizenship in the community.

We’ve been continuously chartered since 1997. December 1 is our birthday — sometimes celebrated at a Pack Meeting, sometimes just acknowledged.

The Pinewood Derby is one of the most beloved events on the Pack calendar. Each Cub Scout receives a kit (block of pine, wheels, axles) and works with a parent to design and build their car. The Pack provides the kit; you supply the imagination, paint, and tools. On race day, cars are weighed in, bracketed, and raced on our multi-lane wooden track.

Awards are given for speed and for design (most creative, best paint job, etc.). It’s an all-Pack event — siblings and family are welcome.

Cub Scouting was founded in February 1930, and Packs across the country celebrate with a Blue & Gold Banquet each year. Ours is a gathering where families come together to recognize each Scout’s progress over the program year, present rank awards, and hear about upcoming events.

For the 2026–2027 program year we’re trying something new: combining Blue & Gold with our March campout and the Crossover Ceremony into a single weekend event. We’ll see how it goes and decide whether to keep that pattern.

Scout Sunday is a national tradition where Scouts attend their family’s church in uniform and may help with the service. Pack 907 doesn’t coordinate a single Scout Sunday service — families participate at whichever church they attend, on whatever Sunday that congregation observes it. Ebenezer UMC (where we meet) holds its own Scout Sunday service and welcomes any Scouts whose families attend there.

For 5th-grade Scouts, the Crossover Ceremony is the culminating event of Cub Scouting. It’s a meaningful, often emotional ceremony where each Scout walks a symbolic bridge from the Pack to the Scouts BSA Troop they’re joining. Families and Troop leaders are present.

At the end of the program year, Scouts who have completed their current rank advance to the next one in a Rank-Up Ceremony. This is most often held at our spring campout, occasionally at a Pack gathering. It’s a simple ceremony that closes out the year — rank awards earned earlier at Blue & Gold are formally followed by the move to the next rank here.
