WELCOME TO CUB SCOUT PACK 1070
Cub Scout Pack 1070 is hosted by the Walkersville United Methodist Church, located on Main Street in Historic Walkersville, Maryland. Our regular pack meeting is the fourth Thursday of every month at 7:00 PM in Georgetown Hall of Walkersville United Methodist Church, located at 22 Main Street in Walkersville. However, be sure to check the Pack 1070 Activities link on this web site for our latest calendar of events.
We were organized in the late 1960's. For more than 35 years now, we have been in
active service to the community. Some of the community events we are involved with include
Scouting for Food, Christmas Caroling, The BIG Sweep and maintaining the butterfly garden in
Fountain Rock Park.
In addition to participating in these great community service projects, the Scouts also
do
- They have a great time building catapults for the very popular pumpkin toss
- Creating Pinewood Derby cars
- Attending Day Camp and Goshen Scout Camp
- Working as a team during the annual Klondike Derby
- Mastering the art of knots
and so much more.

Cub Scout Vision Statement
The Boy Scouts of America, including the Cub Scouts, is the nation's foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training. In the future Scouting will continue to:
- Offer young people responsible fun and adventure
- Instill in young people lifetime values and develop in them ethical character as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law
- Train young people in citizenship, service, and leadership
- Serve America's communities and families with its quality, values-based program
Scouting's Bottom Line
What happens to a Scout? For every 100 boys who join Scouting,
records indicate that:
- RARELY will one be brought before the juvenile court system
- 2 will become Eagle Scouts
- 17 will become future Scout volunteers
- 12 will have their first contact with a church
- 1 will enter the clergy
- 5 will earn their church award
- 18 will develop a hobby that will last through their adult life
- 8 will enter a vocation that was learned through the merit badge system
- 1 will use his Scouting skills to save his own life
- 1 will use his Scouting skills to save the life of another person
Scouting's alumni record is equally impressive. A recent nation-
wide survey of high schools revealed the following information:
- 85% of student council presidents were Scouts
- 89% of senior class presidents were Scouts
- 80% of junior class presidents were Scouts
- 75% of school publication editors were Scouts
- 71% of football captains were Scouts
Scouts also account for:
- 64% of Air Force Academy graduates
- 68% of West Point graduates
- 70% of Annapolis graduates
- 72% of Rhodes Scholars
- 85% of F.B.I. agents
- 26 of the first 29 astronauts
Note: Since this was written the percentage of Eagle Scouts has climbed to nearly 4%. The Eagle Scout Service in 1997 announced that the figure was 3.89%.
