Manheim's Cub Scout Pack 47 will hold a Community Fun Night along with Cub Scout sign-up on Monday, Aug. 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Scout Hall, located between North Hazel and North Linden streets behind Baron Elementary School. Girls and boys in grades kindergarten to fifth grade, along with their parents or guardians, are welcome.

A bounce house and yard games will be set up at Scout Hall, and snacks and drinks will be available. Attendees will be able to meet some of the Scout leaders and learn more about Cub Scouts. Leaders will be available to answer questions and assist with the sign-up process.

Cub Scouts is a family-focused program that gives children and their parents or guardians opportunities to spend time together. Badges earned through activities provide recognition of what the boys and girls have learned through Scouting.

Many activities are planned for the 2023-24 school year, such as participating in the Manheim Farm Show parade, a Trunk or Treat harvest party, pinewood derby races, and hikes. Pack 47 is run by a group of parent volunteers, who have spent time over the summer planning the coming year's Scout activities.

Monthly pack meetings bring all the Scouts together for an outing or an event at Scout Hall. Dens meet twice a month to work on badges related to a variety of activities, such as fishing, cooking, camping, and building. Each requirement helps the Scouts learn life skills and provides an opportunity for parents and guardians to positively interact with their children.
