This time of year is perfect for outdoor adventures, community service, and building lasting friendships. Whether you are a seasoned scout or new to the program, there are plenty of activities to look forward to.

In this blog post, we will explore the upcoming events that promise fun, learning, and camaraderie for all Cub Scout families in Burlington. From camping trips to community service projects, there is something for everyone. Let’s dive into the details!

Burlington Tavern Day

Scouts and families are coming together to represent Pack 23 at Burlington Tavern Day, sharing the excitement of Cub Scouting with our community. Join us to help recruit new Scouts and kick off another great year of adventure and fun!

Date and Location

Date: September 21
Location: Burlington Center

Lime Rock Overnight/ Day

An overnight camping trip or come for the day at Lime Rock Park race track offers families a unique way to combine outdoor fun with the thrill of motorsports. Scouts can pitch their tents right on the infield, giving them a front-row seat to the action during race weekends or special events. The experience goes beyond camping—families can take part in trackside activities, explore the grounds together, and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with a large group campout. In the evening, campfires, skits, and s’mores help build friendships and memories that last long after the tents are packed away. For many Scouts, this is a chance to try camping in a new setting that’s both safe and exciting, while parents appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere and shared community spirit. It’s the perfect way to tie together Scouting’s love of the outdoors with a one-of-a-kind venue.
