A year with Pack 351

We meet most Tuesday nights, and the big events come around every year: campouts, the Pinewood Derby, the Raingutter Regatta, and our famous Hideaway candy cane fundraiser.

The big ones

Every winter

Pinewood Derby

Build a car. Race it. It's that simple, and that exciting. Scouts and parents spend weeks in the garage perfecting their design. The whole Pack comes out to watch.

Every fall

Raingutter Regatta

Scouts build balsa wood sailboats and race them down a water-filled rain gutter. The only motor allowed? Lung power. Expect soggy sleeves and big grins.

Candy Cane Fundraiser

Our Scouts "plant" giant 5-foot lawn candy canes at homes all across the Hideaway community. A beloved Lindale tradition, and our biggest fundraiser of the year.
