Guest Presentation of the benefits of Boy Scouts of America on today's youth. Exploring the options of starting a Cub Scout Pack here at Calvary or allowing Cub Scout Pack 603 of San Lorenzo to recruit from Calvary's School. Cub Scouts are for all boys six years of age entering 1
st grade in the fall or older. Boys of the correct age would be referred to Boy Scout Troop 612, brother Troop to Cub Scout Pack 603. Cub Scout Pack 603 and Boy Scout Troop 612 are the only active Boy Scout units here in San Lorenzo and is the longest running Pack/Troop enjoying 60 years of Boy Scout life.
Calvary Leadership agrees supporting Cub Scout Pack 603 and Boy Scout Troop 612 is
the correct path to take at this time. Any young ladies who are interested in Scouting will be referred to Cub Scout Pack's sister troop Girl Scout Troop 33811.
