Give Back

Erie Is Our
Community.

Pack 62 scouts don't just live in Erie — they take care of it. From fall cleanups to food drives to veterans recognition, giving back is part of what it means to be a scout.

Annual Service Projects

Every year, Pack 62 shows up for Erie. These are the service traditions our scouts carry forward — and take pride in.

🍂

Fall Cleanup at New Hope Fellowship

Every November, Pack 62 scouts and families clean up the grounds at New Hope Fellowship — our charter organization. Raking, weeding, and a whole lot of teamwork.

🎖️

Veterans Recognition

Pack 62 participates in Veterans Day and Memorial Day recognition events, including flag ceremonies and card-writing drives for local veterans.

🐟

Thomas Reservoir Cleanup

Scouts help keep Erie's favorite fishing spot clean — picking up litter around Thomas Reservoir before and after community events.

🥫

Food Drives

Pack 62 organizes food collection drives for local Erie food banks. Scouts learn that service is a year-round commitment, not just a one-time event.

Living the Values

The Scout Law in Action

Trustworthy. Loyal. Helpful. Friendly. Courteous. Kind.
Obedient. Cheerful. Thrifty. Brave. Clean. Reverent.

Every service project is a chance for scouts to live the Scout Law — not just recite it.

Parents Welcome

Get Involved

Pack 62 is always looking for parents to help organize and lead service projects. No experience required — just enthusiasm.
