Your pack can qualify for the National Summertime Pack Award certificate and streamer by planning and conducting three pack activites - one in June, July, and August. This award can be incentive for greater attendance at your summer pack activities.

Qualifying packs receive a collorful streamer for their pack flag. Dens with average attendance of at least half their members at the three summer pack events will be eligible for a colorful den particpation ribbon. Boys who participate in all three pack events are eligible to receive the National Summertime Pack Award pin, which they can wear on the right pocket flap of their uniform.

The purpose of the National Summertime Pack Award is to encourage packs to provide a year-round program by continuing to meet during the time periods when scholl is out of session for several weeks or months. If your pack is in a "year-round school" (or is part of a home-school association) where there are several three- to four-week breaks at various times diuring the year, you could earn the Summertime Pack Award by having a special pack activity during those breaks. If your pack conducts a special activity during three of these breaks, it can also qualify for the Summertime Pack Award.
