Cub Scouting is a year round program. However, Pack 170 has traditionally
celebrated the end of school year with a graduation party outdoors. In May, 2008
the celebration will be held at Holland Park in Fishers. As always, there was plenty
of food (most donated by Steak and Shake), friendship, and of course the annual
obstacle course!

REQUIREMENTS
The pack will plan and conduct a monthly pack activity for June, July, and
August. Participating in these Summertime activities also gives the Cub Scout,
his Den, and the Pack an opportunity to earn the National Summertime Pack Award,
an important component of the Quality Unit Program.
In the past Pack 170 has held fishing contests in June, or more recently been a participant in the Fishers Freedom Festival Children's Parade. For July, we typically use the Summer Day camps for Camp Belzer or Camp K to meet the requirement. For August, 2005 Pack 170 is having a pool party at the Summer Break Swim Club pool. The Cubmaster is going to try and coordinate a Raingutter Regatta at the pool party as well.
RECOGNITIONS
For the Pack - A full-color certificate suitable for framing and an
