Den Graduation and Crossing Over Celebration

On May 15th, Pack 43 celebrated our annual Den Graduation and Crossing Over ceremony. All of our boys worked so hard this year, many of them having earned their den patch at the ceremony. The day of the ceremony was beautiful - sunny but not too hot. The boys marched up to the top of the Indian mound at Phillipe Park, where we held the ceremony. The ceremony was amazing!

Even the picnic afterward was awesome! Thanks so much to Mister Tim for the delicious barbeque, and thanks to all of the parents of Pack 43 for your incredible generosity - we had so much food!!

The pack presented Ms Bonnie with the pack flag, to honor her for all of her hard work to make the pack grow!

We have more pictures of the event for you to see (and download!) in the photo gallery! Check it out today!

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!
