Pack Meetings
Pack 99 has one monthly meeting of all Scouts (all den levels). This meeting is usually held at 7 p.m. on the 4th Friday of each month during the school year and lasts roughly an hour. This meeting is when achievement badges and/or pins are presented.
DEN MEETINGS
Dens meet 2-3 times per month during the school year. Den meetings typically begin at 6 p.m. at the St. Thomas More Scout House. View the schedule to find your grade's den meeting night. These meetings cover the basic achievements required to advance to the next rank at the end of the school year. Depending on time allowed during the meetings, additional achievements may be completed at home.
CAMPING
Pack 99 organizes two family-based camping trips in the fall and the spring each year. The camping trips are usually two nights, Friday through Sunday, and take place either at a Texas State Park or BSA camp site. Each Cub Scout must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. The whole family is invited to attend.
PINEWOOD DERBY
We have an annual race of Pinewood Derby cars that are built by our Scouts. Awards are presented for fastest car, best design, slowest car, most patriotic, and most scout-like.
BLUE & GOLD BANQUET
We have one annual banquet for Pack 99 in the spring where we celebrate our Pack achievements and have dinner together. We typically distribute Pinewood Derby trophies at this banquet.
SERVICE PROJECTS
Pack 99 supports St. Thomas More School and our local community with several service projects during the school year, such as a food drive, nature clean up, and other fun activities.
Nature Hikes
We have several nature hikes and tours throughout the year, such as the Houston Arboretum, Nature Discovery Center, and Sea Center Texas.
POPCORN SALES
Our annual popcorn sale fundraiser in the fall raises the majority of funds that we need to run the pack for a year.
SUMMER FUN
Pack 99 hosts an annual pool & kayaks party at the Maplewood South/North Community Pool.
4th of JULY PARADE
Every year our Scouts participate in the annual 4th of July parade in the Maplewood subdivision of Southwest Houston.
