Dens:
The Pack is divided into smaller groups or “Dens” of 6 to 12 cubs which are all in the same grade. Dens are led by an adult “Den Leader” and meet twice a month. The den meetings are where your cub will have the most interaction with other cubs, work on advancement, and have fun! Each den works on activities which are appropriate for that age group.
Dens are organized as follows:
– Kindergarten: Lions
– 1st grade: Tigers
– 2nd grade: Wolf
– 3rd grade: Bear
– 4th grade: Webelos
– 5th grade: Arrow of Light
Pack meetings:
The entire Pack meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM. At the monthly pack meeting the cubs are recognized for their accomplishments.
Communication:
Pack-wide communications are done primarily via e-mail. To sign up for our email list, click here. This service is provided by Google Groups and requires a Google account. You may use an existing Google account, or simply sign up for a new Google account using your primary e-mail address.
Costs and fundraising:
We believe all children who wish to participate in Scouts should be able to do so, regardless of financial constraints. If you need assistance in order for your child to participate, please talk with your Den Leader, the Cubmaster, or the Committee Chair. Our Pack has one primary fund-raising event each year (typically in the fall), where the cub scouts sell popcorn. This fundraiser pays for awards and reduces the costs associated with scouting activities.
Approximate costs:
- Registration fee is $105. This includes a one time joining fee of $25 and an annual fee of $80. For only $1.25 a month, $15 for the year, Cub Scouts may subscribe to Scout Life magazine.
- Cub Scout handbook and uniform is available online or at the local scout shop. Costs vary depending on rank and preferences.
- Activity costs vary from free to $50 per event.
