Cub Scout Pack 656 - Fairfax

Dear Pack 656 families,

A huge thank you and congratulations to everyone who participated in Scouting for Food over the past two weekends!

Because of your teamwork, our pack collected 793 pounds of food for Food for Others. That’s an incredible amount. I think it was about 200 lbs more than last year. It will make a real difference for families in our community.

Thank you to everyone who helped place stickers, collect food, drive scouts and donations, and cheer on our scouts. Whether you covered one street or several, every bit of help added up.

Great job, Pack 656 (Best of the Mix)! You all lived up to the Scout Oath and Law, helping others and doing your best.

Yours in Scouting,
James Bosworth

Fall was a busy one for Pack 656! In October, November, and December we...
- Went camping as a Pack to Burke Lake Park. We had a record turnout and perfect weather.
- Fairfax School Board Members Karl Frisch and Ilryong Moon spoke with the Scouts about voting and the role of the School Board.
- Went on a 5 mile hike around Glover Archbold Park in DC and another hike through Eakin Park.
- Performed a service project for the Montessori School of Cedar Lane. We cleared their nature trail and removed sediment from their parking lot to prevent flooding.
- Visited the Merrifield Fire Station and witnessed an epic race to determine who could get their fire gear on fastest.

And we have tons more planned for 2025. Next up - Pinewood Derby in February!!

Come out to the Mosaic District on Sunday, October 6th from 10am to 4pm for the Official George Mason District, NCAC, BSA Scouting Expo! There will be fun activities and a chance to meet local Cub Scouts.
