Help fundraise! Popcorn Show & Sells posted
Den Meetings: These are small group meetings of scouts all in the same grade. Den Leaders play activities to help scouts learn something new, reinforce previously learned skills, and have some fun. Most dens meet once a month after school.
Pack Meetings: This monthly meeting is when all ages come together to enjoy a fun activity, like our public safety night, Mad Science visit, and celebrate the scouts hard work through earned adventure loops and eventual rank advancement.
Below you will find some of our annual events where you can find the members of Pack 507 out in the community.
It is important to remember that serving our community has its own rewards. The scouts of Pack 507 understand the importance of helping others, and we leaders support them in their efforts.
Knowing the holidays can be difficult for members of our community, Pack 507 participates in a yearly food drive to help those in need. We spend November collecting non-perishable foods from our neighbors and community members and getting those foods to people in need.
In an effort to help out the environment, learn about recycling, and raise funds to defray the cost of scouting, the scouts of Pack 507 hold Spring and Summer Can and Bottle Drives outside the Pride Station on the corner of 202 and 21 in Belchertown.
Clear your garage of those bottles and cans that have been piling up all year and keep them out of landfills!
Pack 507 marches annually in the Belchertown Fair parade held in September. Look for our scouts and float along the parade route as we march with our float and toss candy into the crowd.
Members of Pack 507 participate in the annual events that honor both those that have served and those that have fallen. These events help orient the scouts in their community and connect those that came before them.

Dropping off those bottles and cans helps support your local cub scouts and clear that corner or your garage at the same time. This is a win-win!

In addition, the pack has a booth on the common. Visit us and meet some of our amazing cub scouts selling beverages, candy bars, and BSA popcorn. Our scouts are super excited to see their energy and dedication rewarded with a purchase that helps fund fun events for them later in the year. Please stop by!
In the fall, you might see smiling scout faces around town selling popcorn. This popcorn supports local scouting. Of the 70% of the cost that goes to scouting, a portion maintains our campground we regularly visit and the rest comes back to our local pack for our events. Often, you can find us outside Tractor Supply in October.
Come spring, maple syrup is in the air! Our pack participates in a fundraiser that sells local maple syrup along with pancake mix. Pick up your sweet treat and support our local scouts.
Below are some regular adventures we take as a pack. We have also visited sites such as the Springfield Armory, Beneski Museum, Magic Wings, and gone bowling and tubing.
Pack hikes are usually scheduled once a month during the warmer months. We take a break during the snowy months as trail conditions are not usually ideal for scout feet. Hikes usually occur within a 30-45 minute radius of town and we try to make sure the hikes are suited for all ages. If a hike might prove challenging for some, we will make that information available.
Fall is not complete until you are lost in a corn maze! Each year, we work with Austin's Farm to feed some cows and wander through a maze all while supporting a local business.
Each year, we unleash the scouts' creativity on a block of wood. The differences between the "cars" that take to the track are amazing. Wheels fall off, cars zip past barricades, and giggles go around.
Our scouts usually travel to Camp Moses twice a year to enjoy all our local Council has to offer. Some activities include archery, escape room, rock wall, and other cool things.
During the colder months, the pack descends upon the Chestnut Community Pool and enjoys a splash. It is a great way to break up the long, dark winter months.
