Summertime Pack Awards

The purpose of the National Summertime Pack Award is to encourage packs to provide a year-round program by continuing to meet during the time periods when school is out of session for several weeks or months. If a pack is in a 'year-round school' (or is part of a home-school association), the pack could earn the Summertime Pack Award by having a special pack activity during those breaks.

A pack can qualify for the National Summertime Pack Award by planning and conducting three pack activities - one each in June, July, and August. This award can be an incentive for greater attendance at your summer pack activities. Qualifying packs receive a colorful streamer for their pack flag.

Individual scouts that participate in all three pack events can receive the National Summertime Pack Award pin.

Dens with an average attendance of at least half their members at the three summer pack events will be eligible for a colorful den participation ribbon.
