Its events include the Autumn Adventure Sleepover, Christmas caroling and a party, cub meetings, field trips, Valentines for Vets and summer camp.

Group members also make tray favors for the hospital and Christmas cards for nursing home residents. Members also sold chocolate bars and helped with the Apple Festival Food Stand to raise funds for activities.
