Just wondering what activities/events other cub scout packs pay for. Thanks!

I have a Tiger Den and we went to a print & graphic company for this achievement. Just because it suggests a newspaper office or TV station doesn't mean it has to be - the magic is having fun exploring all the possibilities! We got to see how they designed flyers on computers, they took us in the back and showed us all the different types of printing presses and machines that were used, showed us kinds of paper and ink used, and even demonstrated from start to finish of a cub scout bumper sticker! They sent us home with notepads, pens, calenders, and our bumper sticker with our den # on it! Try calling a big office supply company - Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples, or Kinko's. See if they can do a tour of their printing dept for the boys. Have fun!

Hi everyone! I just found this forum and wish I had sooner! I was new to cub scouts this year - signed on as a Tiger Den Leader for my son's den - and have loved every minute of it! I rechartered as the new Committee Chair for next year as our current one is moving on to boy scouts with her son. The only exposure I've had to any kind of scouts has been my daughter's girl scout troops - she's been in it for 4-5 years now. (I personally like the parent/family involvement in cub scouts better.) I can't wait to dig deeper into this forum and see what all it has to offer! Thanks!
