Like all Scouting programs, it weaves the concepts of character development, leadership skills, personal fitness, and citizenship into activities that are age-appropriate and fun. The activities introduce the family to Cub Scouting, and provide an exciting way for the little guys to explore the world around them. The program will fuel their imagination, creativity and fun as they experience the growth Scouting can provide. At the end of the kindergarten year, Lions will “graduate” into Cub Scouting as a Tiger – where even more fun and adventure will await!

Visitors are encouraged to respect the privacy of neighbors, carry out dog droppings and trash, and park in designated areas. Continued public use of the property is dependent upon good stewardship by the public, so please keep this area open by doing your part to keep the sandspit clean and safe. Troop 27 Boy Scouts and Crew 27's Venturers are currently working on trail improvements, brush removal and cleanup of the property and storage buildings. Several Eagle Scout projects have been underway at the spit recently, adding picnic tables, park benches a new staircase to the beach, and other improvements. Scouts from Venture Crew 27 removed moss from the roof of the old Demolay Clubhouse building recently. About 50 people attended the PenMet Parks Board meeting on August 20th, where they took feedback from the public regarding the closure, and future plans for use of the property. Virtually everyone present was supportive of keeping the spit open to the public, except for one person. PenMet Board member Todd Iversen made a motion to spend money to install improved signage at the property, to help make people aware of the private property on either side of the spit, and the park hours & other restrictions. Discussion took place about the main issue concerning the neighbors; the lack of onsite parking. PenMet is seeking some evidence of previous parking on the upper lot at the spit property, that will allow the use of onsite parking in the future. If you have photos or any recollection of cars parking there, please contact PenMet parks.
