The Pack is comprised of all dens together with their leaders and families
You can read more about how Cub Scouts is organized here.
Class B uniforms are the blue t-shirts and are worn to most den meetings

Depending on the Den, they will occur either on the 1st and 3rd week of the month or 2nd and 4th. Speak to your Den leader to stay up to date.
Most Pack meetings are across the street from the Church at New Albany School.
Be sure to check the calendar for each event in case the location changes.

Prior to the 2024 scouting year, Bobcat was the first rank achieved in Cub Scouts. However, to reinforce the importance of the learnings of the Bobcat, starting in 2024 it became an Adventure to be completed every year of scouting. You can read more about the symbolism here.
A Scout is:
Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
Reverent
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
The three points of the oath are duty to God and Country, then duty to others, and finally duty to self.
Do Your Best!
Popcorn sales are handled via Trails End and 15% of proceeds directly go into your Scout Account.
When signing up, you will create an account on the Trails End website. Enter that you are: Garden State Council and Pinelands district and Pack 4059. This should create a sign-up code of Q8VYD. Now you have an account that benefits the Pack and you can sell at shifts using the app. However, if you want your scout to get credit for online purchases, there is a Scout Code you will need to give others, so your scout gets full credit from online purchases.
See more on the popcorn page.
On the second Saturday of November, scouts will meet at Covenant Presbyterian Church at 9am to pick up route assignments. Scouts and their families will get one or more packets of maps. Scouts will deliver a door hanger and plastic bag to each house on their map(s)
On the third Saturday of November, scouts will revisit the same houses from the same maps to pick up all donated food items. If you cannot make both weeks, please contact Scout Leaders to handle reassignments. There is no need to meet together at the Church, go directly to your assigned routes after 9am.
All items are then delivered to our rally point. Scout leadership will share the address. You will be asked to drop off all food, a count of items, and how many hours scouts and adults volunteered.
If you miss the drop off time, deliver directly to the Food Bank of South Jersey at 692 Rancocas Road Westampton, NJ 08060
This is organized through our associated Scouts BSA Troop, Troop 70.
See the Pinewood Derby page for more information and rules.
The Pinewood Derby takes place in January.
