6th Grade Competes in Division M
 
CRES grades 4 and 5 will compete in the Elementary division and grade 6 will compete in the Middle School division. We will organize the students into groups, with 1-2 parent coaches working with each group of students on a weekly basis on zoom or in person, on a day and time that the coach will offer. After you register, you will be contacted by a volunteer coach who will offer you days and times for meetings.

There will be five monthly contests (5 questions each) administered each month from November through March. Awards will be announced and distributed after all five rounds. Tests are usually held monthly at 8am on a designated day at the school. 

PTO membership and a fee is required to join. Coaches are unpaid parent volunteers. 

***Please consider serving as a coach or assistant coach. Contact Liang Guo at liangguo9@gmail.com if you are interested in teaching.***

The Adventure Starts Now!

Cub Scouts is a year-round family program designed for boys and girls in K through 5th grade. Colvin Run’s Pack 1144 provides a lively Cub Scouting experience with activities that capture the interest of youth and often include the entire family. Our Cub Scouts learn essential skills, enjoy outdoor activities, develop leadership, build character, and participate in community involvement, service projects and stewardship of the environment.

If you have a K-5th grader interested in finding out more about Cub Scouts, you can check out our website at pack1144.org and attend one of our upcoming events, including our first Pack Meeting on Monday, Aug. 31st or our Pack Meeting & Parent Info Night on Monday, Sept. 14th.  Please email 1144registrar@gmail.com with any questions or for more information.
