Summer schedules can be complicated for families with summer camps and vacations. Pack 1980 takes this into consideration by planning more than one activity each month and by pursuing activities that embrace the whole family.
The Cub Scout National Summertime Award was created to encourage packs to continue to meet even when school is not in session so that Scouts can have a year-round program. Boys earn the award by participating in at least three summertime pack events - one for each summer month.
