Hi everyone,
 
I am a member of the "New To Logan" group.  My family moved up here a few months ago from Phoenix, AZ.  Since arriving in Logan, I have become very involved with the Cub Scouts (Pack #1) and Boy Scouts (Troop #1). I have a 10 year old son in Cub Scouts and a 12 year old son in Boy Scouts.  Both our pack & troop are sponsored by the Logan Lions Club and are Non-denominational.  All faiths are welcome.  In addition, while our meetings are held in various locations in Logan, we are open to all boys that reside within Cache County.  We have families as far south as Paradise and families as far north as Smithfield!  And our boys attend a multitude of schools: public schools, charter schools, & some are homeschooled. 
 
Here is a breakdown of the ages:
 
Tigers = Grade 1
Wolves = Grade 2
Bears = Grade 3
Webelos = Grade 4 & Grade 5
Boy Scouts = 11 years old and/or have completed Grade 5
Venture Scouts = 14-18 yrs old (open to both boys & girls)
 
Some of the fun activities we do include:  Bike riding, camping, craft & science projects, field trips, fishing, games, hiking, launching rockets, nature study, Pinewood Derby, Rain Gutter Regatta, Scout-a-rama, songs, skits, sports, star gazing, swimming, and making new friends!!!
 
Troop #1 has a long history in the Logan area and is actually "the oldest troop west of the Mississippi".  The troop has recently decided to charter a "Venture Scout Program", that will welcome both teenage girls AND boys.  This group will be focused on "outdoor adventure".  Lots of hiking, camping, etc.
 
Since many people in the area don't even know we exist... I am just trying to get the word.  So if you (or anyone you know) wants to be involved in Scouting program but did not know that a non-denominational option was available, please contact me directly for more information.
 
Thanks,

P.S.  For anyone that has daughters that would be interested in Girl Scouts, let me know.  One of our Pack's den leaders is also in charge of the Girl Scouts in Logan.
