Cub Resident Camp Program

The Kirby Grace:

Through sun and shade, rain or hail,

Our Cub Scout spirit never fails.

We thank thee, Lord, for food and friends,

And Kirby fun that never ends!

Cub Scout Vespers:

As the night comes to this land, On my promise I will stand.

I will help the Pack to go, As the Pack helps me to grow.

Yes, I’ll always give good will, I’ll follow my Akela still.

And before I stop to rest, I will do my very best.
