Do the Scouts wear uniforms?
Yes, there are 2 types. Class A is used for Pack Meetings and travelling to/from events. These can be purchased online or in person at the Scout Shop. Class B is used for Den Meetings and while camping or doing adventures. 1 Class B shirt is included with registration. Hoodies and Adult sizes are available for purchase in the Pack.
What if we miss a meeting?
We completely understand that life can get in the way of meetings sometimes. Best practice is to let your Den Leader know before the meeting (for planning purposes), then follow up with what was missed so your scout doesn't fall behind. Required and elective adventures are able to be completed at home or in meetings, with proper communication.
Do I stay with my child during meetings?
For younger scouts (K-2nd grade), a parent must attend. For older scouts, we encourage parents to stay for the meetings, especially when volunteers are needed. Siblings are always welcome to attend, but we ask that parents help to minimize meeting disruption when possible.
How often does the pack do events?
Besides meeting on Mondays, we have some Saturday activities (Pack Hikes, Christmas Parade, Pinewood Derby), and twice a year we go on camping trips from Fri-Sun. We also do a Big Trip in the spring, which could be anything from sleeping with the sharks, visiting caves, or sleeping on a Navy ship. Check out our calendar for more details!
What safety procautions are taken?
All our leaders are background-checked and trained in Youth Protection. We follow all Scouting America Youth Protection Guidelines. Check out our Parent Handbook for more info.
