Description:
We run a year round program, with informal Pack meetings in the summer. Most of our Pack meetings are at the school, but we try to have one bonfire at Coulon park each year, and one swimming event at Newport Hills Swim and Tennis club each year. Most, but not all, of our Cubs attend Hazelwood Elementary.

We plan at least two public service projects each year. This year we did landscape cleanup around the school, and passed out "breakfast bags" to homeless people in downtown Seattle. We have the Cubs contribute their own funds to our PTSA who provide assistence at Christmas time for needy families whose childen attend Hazelwood.

Besides our Blue & Gold banquet, our two favorite events are our annual Pinewood Derby and Space Derby. In the summer, we schedule one or more of our Pack meetings at Lake Boren Park, in conjuction with the summer concert series that is staged there.
