About Our Pack
About Our Pack
We believe outdoor adventures are a core focus of being a Scout. Our meetings are outdoors as much as possible, and along with the fun activities done during den meetings, we try to use outings and campouts to teach independence, leadership, and care for the environment.
All scouts will learn age-appropriate skills such as knot tying, hiking, cooking, camping, building, reading maps, how to use a pocket knife, and so much more!
Who can join?
Who can join?
ALL kids from Kindergarden through 5th grade can join Cub Scouts! (Older kids can join Scouts BSA, formerly called Boy Scouts). We don't discriminate based on gender identity, sexual orientation, religious or non-religious beliefs, ability to pay dues, or anything else!
