Branford Scouting (Cub Pack 633, Troop 633/1633 & Venturing 633)

Branford Scouting has been building citizenship, leadership skills, and a spirit of adventure in youth for over 10 years, serving ages 5–20 through four dynamic programs. Through experiential learning, Branford scouts experience adventures from ice climbing to sailing in the Florida Keys, with campouts all year round for our older scouts. Our commitment to country is reflected in where we meet—serving our veterans at Branford’s VFW Post 12106—and through meaningful experiences like our recent trip to Washington, D.C., where scouts participated in the Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery and presented a wreath in honor of our fallen heroes. Our younger Cub Scouts also demonstrate patriotism by marching in parades and placing flags at cemeteries, just like their older peers. They enjoy fun and discovery at weekly meetings and through memorable outings, such as an overnight at the Norwalk Maritime Center, sleeping aboard the World War II battleship USS Massachusetts, and exploring the EcoTarium museum. This year, our Cubs will experience an evening at the New England Air Museum. Branford Scouting services the town of Branford and well beyond. Check us out on the web to see the great things Scouting in Branford can do to make a difference in the world!

You don't want to miss the 4th annual Spring Splash 2026!
Join us as we take the ultimate plunge into spring---straight into the icy waters of the Long Island Sound. This year, we’ve shifted the event to May so that while the water will still deliver that signature polar‑plunge chill, the air will be crisp, bright, and beautiful. It’s the perfect blend of thrill and comfort.
And because bravery deserves rewards, we’ll be raffling off one adult and one kids Dryrobe, the ultimate prize for thawing out in style.
This is the kind of moment you’ll talk about all year---a chance to laugh, cheer, and make unforgettable memories with family, friends, classmates, teams, clubs, and neighbors. Whether you’re diving in for the adrenaline, the camaraderie, or just the bragging rights, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Come join the party on May 3, 2026, doors/registration opens at 10:00a (we're getting wet at 10:45a) at the Surf Club! Celebrate before and after your Splash with music, hot and cold beverages, delicious bites and more! Register at:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://runsignup.com/Race/CT/Madison/SpringSplash" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">runsignup.com/Race/CT/Madison/SpringSplash</a>
The Spring Splash is brought to you the Madison Jaycees, a 70-year-old, volunteer-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to improve the lives of those who live along the central CT shoreline. &nbsp;Over the past 10 years, we have donated over half a million dollars to families and local charities in need. &nbsp;The Jaycees also award annual College Scholarships to deserving graduates of Daniel Hand and Guilford High Schools.
