Service is central to Scouting. The Scout Oath calls us to “help other people at all times,” and the Scout Law reminds us to be Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, and Kind. Pack 2 serves together through simple, family-friendly projects throughout the year.
Service is central to Scouting. The Scout Oath calls us to “help other people at all times,” and the Scout Law reminds us to be Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, and Kind. Pack 2 serves together through simple, family-friendly projects throughout the year.
While Scouts are giving service, they practice teamwork, citizenship, and compassion. Projects are designed for Cub Scout ages and often align with rank adventures.
What to wear & bring: Leaders will specify field uniform (sometimes called “Class A”) or activity uniform for each project. Dress for weather, wear closed-toe shoes, and bring water. Safety gear (gloves, tongs, etc.) is provided or noted in the sign-up.
Scouting for Food
Scouting for Food
Each November, Pack 2 & BSA Troop 2 joins the council-wide food drive supporting local pantries. Scouts distribute door hangers/bags one weekend and return the next to collect donations for sorting and delivery.
• Beneficiaries often include The Lord’s Pantry and the Chester County Food Bank.
• Great for all ranks—families participate together.
• Recent collections: 2025: 5.617 tons and 2024: 7.7845 tons and 2023: 2.1 tons of food.
Wreaths Across America
Wreaths Across America
Each December, Pack 2 & Troop 2 join together to Remember our fallen veterans, Honor those who served, and Teach the value of freedom. Join our Scouts for a reflective, family-friendly service as we place remembrance wreaths at local cemeteries.
• Sponsor a Wreath: For just $17, you can sponsor a wreath to honor a local hero's grave.
• Volunteer: Join us in December to help place wreaths and read veterans' names aloud.

Parish & Community Service
Parish & Community Service
Throughout the year, Pack 2 supports our chartered partner and local community with simple, hands-on projects.
• Parish campus clean-ups, mulching, or set-up/tear-down for events.
• Park/trail litter pick-ups and seasonal clean-ups.
• Toy/coat collections and other drives as needs arise.
Bench Building Project
Bench Building Project
Thanks to the Scouts, families, and volunteers who gave their time to help build two benches:
• A bench honoring Corporal O’Connor
• A bench for Brandywine Wallace Elementary School
This project was a great example of what Scouting is all about: working together, learning new skills, serving our community, and having fun along the way.

See Pack 2 in Action: Community Touch-A-Truck
Pack 2 joined Scouts BSA Troop 2 and the Downingtown Girl Scouts to welcome hundreds of people from across our community to our first Community Touch-A-Truck at St. Joseph Parish.
Families explored emergency, utility, construction, conservation, and public service vehicles, met local professionals, and enjoyed hands-on Scouting activities throughout the day.
This is Pack 2 in action: adventure, service, learning, community, and families having fun together.
