This is the home page for Pack 59 Den 6 (Bears).
Each Adventure below will have a Chris's Den Guide which is something I write to guide the Adventure together. You can see other similar ideas on the Scouting.org Adventure page for that Adventure. There may be other auxilary materials for each Adventure (videos, printable games, etc) that are also enumerated.
This year we must complete six required Adventures and any two elective Adventures.
Required Adventures have a color icon on the belt loop while electives are a muted blue.
You can see all Bear Adventures on the Cub Scouts website here.

On the second Saturday of November, scouts will meet at Covenant Presbyterian Church at 9am to pick up route assignments.
Scouts and their families will get one or more packets of maps.
On that 2nd Saturday of November, scouts will deliver a door hanger and plastic bag to each house on their map(s)
On the third Saturday of November, scouts will revisit the same houses from the same maps to pick up all donated food items. If you cannot make both weeks, please contact Scout Leaders to handle reassignments. There is no need to meet together at the Church, go directly to your assigned routes after 9am
ALl items are then delivered to our rally point. Scout leadership will share the address. You will be asked to drop off all food, a count of items, and how many hours scouts and adults volunteered.
If you miss the drop off time, deliver directly to the Food Bank of South Jersey at 692 Rancocas Road Westampton, NJ 08060
This is organized through our associated Scouts BSA Troop, Troop 70.
