Rent-A-Scout Program!

Rent-A-Scout is a new program started by Safety Harbor's Cub Scout Pack 43 in an effort to give back to the members of the Safety Harbor community and help earn some money to support the continuation of the pack.

Cub Scouts are taught to 'Do Your Best' in everything that they do, and a big part of the Cub Scouting program is teaching young boys to contribute in a meaningful way to their community.

Help us teach our scouts how to do a good turn for their community and in return, you can finally get that job done that you've been meaning to do!

No job is too small!

There is no charge for jobs the scouts do for you, although we do ask for donations to help keep the pack going if you feel the job was well done.

Contact us today to request the services of our cub scouts. We will schedule a day with you and bring over 2 to 5 scouts (depending on the size of the job), along with their adult supervisors.

Pack 43 has been a cornerstone of the Safety Harbor community for more than 50 years. Please help support Safety Harbor's longest running Cub Scout pack!

Rent a scout today!

Early Bird Registration for Summer Camp!

Cub Scout Day Camp is the highlight event of the summer for your Cub Scouts. Scouts who attend camp will get the opportunity to meet new friends, learn more about the Scouting program, participate in all kinds of games and sports, arts and crafts and will learn how to safely use a bow and arrow or BB gun.

The West Central Florida Council offers four weeks of day camp and 1 week of Twilight Camp as follows:
Week 1: June 6-10 Frances Avenue Park New Port Richey
Week 2: June 13-17 Camp Soule, Clearwater
Week 3: June 20-24 Camp Soule, Clearwater
Week 4: June 27-July 1 Camp Soule, Clearwater
Week 5: July 5-8 Twilight Camp; Camp Soule, Clearwater
The council requires one FULL-TIME (5 days) adult volunteer for every 5 Cub Scouts we register for Day Camp. Ms Bonnie will be a Camp Councilor the week of June 13th-17th, as well as Twilight Camp. This does not include Tiger Cubs, who require an adult partner per Tiger Cub. (Current Tiger Cubs are considered Wolves for Day Camp. This applies to incoming Tiger Cubs for the 2011/2012 school year.)

The deadline to get the early bird discount of $70 for the entire week of day camp and $55 for Twilight camp is Monday, April 25th. In addition to this being a great week of learning and achievement for your scout, it is one of the cheapest prices you will pay for summer care!

We have to register as a pack, so download the forms below and bring your completed forms, along with a check for the cost of the camp to this month's pack meeting!
