The annual Denver Area Council Scout Show showcases the Scouting program in a way that is accessible to everyone.  The Scout Show is a fun, hands-on opportunity for our Scouts to see the “bigger picture” of Scouting, is an opportunity for program enhancement.

Pack 794 can set up and operate a booth at the Scout Show if we have enough families that would like to support a booth that day.  Even if we do not operate a booth, we can still have our Scouts and their families attend to enjoy all the activities there will be that day.  This gets us more money back our camp card sales.  Let me know if you have an idea for a booth.

The Scout Show is always have a great time!
