About Pack 276

Pack 276  was established in 2005 and is 100% Volunteer lead. We average 30 - 50 scouts each year. We are a fun pack accepting boys & girls in Kindergarten through 5th grades. We are a very active pack!

Cub Scout Pack 276 provides a year round program, in a fun and safe environment for our scouts and families. Activities that encourage life skills and character development, outdoor adventure, good sportsmanship, community and veteran support, citizenship, spiritual growth, and personal achievement. Cub Scouting instills good morals and values in youth that can help them become successful, contributing members of society. Cub Scouts is fun with a purpose, and is for the whole family! 

We currently have scout families in Glendale, Peoria & and surrounding communities.  Most of our Scouts attend school in the Peoria Unified School District, some are in the Washington & Glendale School Districts, while some attend private and charter schools and others are home schooled.

Our charter organization is the Christopher J. Lapka, American Legion Post 105.

Glendale Community Church, located at  9661 N 59th Ave between Olive & Peoria, 

graciously hosts our monthly Pack Meeting as well as some of our other events.

Pack meetings are typically the 4th Monday of each month at 6:30pm, at 59th Ave & Mountain View.

See the Calendar for Pack Meeting Dates!

Pack meetings are centered around a themed activity and recognition of the scout's achievement(s) over the prior month.  The various dens often have songs, skit, or skills to share with the pack families. Pack meeting are for the whole family and are typically full of silliness for all. 

In additionally, individual dens (based on grade) meet two to three times a month to work on achievements, 

also known as adventurers, that culminate in the scout earning their rank advancement.

Pack 276 provides activities year-round, and new scouts can join at any time during the year!

Parent involvement is crucial to the success of the pack. We have many roles within the pack that need to be filled by volunteers. Some roles are short, one time event commitment; while others may last the entire scouting season. We encourage parents and caregivers to volunteer their time and talents to the Pack.

Pack 276 leaders are all 100% trained. We are very proud of this!
