Delano Cub Scout Pack 273 The Delano Cub Scout Pack 273 was founded in 1950. Cub Scouts is for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. The purpose of the organization is to provide an educational program for children to build their quality of character, to train in the responsibilities of participating as a citizen, and to develop personal fitness. Personal fitness includes physical, mental, and emotional fitness. There are about 70 scouts and 10 adult leaders in the organization, which usually meets the last Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Church. Individual dens meet separately twice a month as well to work on achievements. Special projects or events include Scouting for Food, Memorial Day parade, Fourth of July parade, youth overnight camping, Pinewood Derby Races, day camps, Blue and Gold Banquet, and Crow River Clean-up. Each year in September there is a special signup night for youth interested in joining the Scouting program, known as School Night for Scouting, or they can join Scouts at any time throughout the year.

Delano Ducks Unlimited Ducks Unlimited (DU) is the world’s leader in wetlands and waterfowl conservation. DU got its start in 1937 during the Dust Bowl when North America’s drought-plagued waterfowl populations had plunged to unprecedented lows. Determined not to sit idly by as the continent’s waterfowl dwindled beyond recovery, a small group of sportsmen joined together to form an organization that became known as Ducks Unlimited. Its mission: habitat conservation. The local chapter hosts a banquet each fall. For additional information on the Delano chapter, call Galen Hayes at 612- 685-3779, Bryan Baumann at 952-955-2223, Jeff Graunke at 763-442-5939, or Chairman Cory Cederberg at 763-972- 2540.
