Our History
Cub Scout Pack 69 ("Pack") was chartered in 1951. We are chartered by Salem Lutheran Church with the Boys Scouts of America ("BSA") in the Heritage Trails District of the New Birth of Freedom Council. The Pack exists to promote the Scouting Program and is for the benefit of our Scouts, Scout families, Pack Leaders, and the community. The Pack is governed by the policies of the BSA, the Pack Handbook, Salem Lutheran Church, and it is operated by the Pack Committee and Leaders.
Commitment to the Scout Program:
The Pack is committed to the ideals of the Cub Scout Program as defined by BSA. The Pack's goal is to provide a quality Scouting program that promotes citizenship, service, stewardship of the outdoors and our community, and reverence. The Pack believes that these ideals lead to the development of strong boy and girl leaders, while also benefiting all of the participants in the program (parents, Leaders, etc.) and the community.
The Boy Scouts of America was founded in 1910, and became federally chartered with the United States in 1916. Cub Scouts began in 1930. Millions of youth have worn the uniform, cooked over an open fire at a campsite, earned their Bobcat badge, raced their Pinewood Derby cars, worked on service projects, and made new friends under the umbrella of Cub Scouting. Flowing underneath all this fun and excitement is a character-building program that encourages making good ethical choices, family strengthening, physical fitness, and citizenship skills in the lives of youth. Scouting utilizes an advancement system that requires a youth to ‘do their best’ to fulfill and complete the requirements outlined in their handbook so that they may earn their rank badge. Scouts may also earn other awards and electives.
