Bears' Den

Welcome, Bears!

Bears is the Cub Scout program for kids in the third grade.  Parents or caregivers are encouraged to participate in den meetings and required for overnight trips.  

Den Leader's Message

From Den Leader, Kevin Durickas:

Hi! My name is Kevin, I loved Cub Scouts when I was a kid. I have fond memories of adventures, camping trips and participating in the Pinewood Derby! I look forward to leading the Bear Den this year as we have a fun schedule of activities planned.  I am also a father of a Bear and Tiger Cub.

This year, Bears will dive into a mix of hands-on adventures that build skills and character. We’ll learn the basics of outdoor safety, knot tying, and simple first aid, while also exploring nature through local hikes and camping trips.  We will learn about teamwork, responsibility, and citizenship through our service projects.  Come explore with us—where we’ll follow the trails of curiosity, learn outdoor skills, and make awesome memories with our pack.  Come join us for the adventure!

Bear Den Calendar of Events (Den activities only and more to come)

We meet at the Carroll Center at 7-8pm on the first Thursday of months without a pack activity.  Come join us October 2, November 6, and January 8, with more meetings to be announced soon.

October 8th's Den Meeting will be held at Newton City Hall's Auditorium!
