PACK 558
Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 558!
Cub Scout Pack 558 is made up of boys mostly from San Antonio and our Cubs are typically from the Northside Independent School District in grades Kindergarten thru fifth grade. Our charter organization is St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, TX
We offer your child the opportunity to make new friends and take part in activities that most non-scouts only dream of. If done correctly, parents of Scouts find themselves benefiting nearly as much as the kids. Scouting is fun, educational, and relatively inexpensive, especially if one takes advantage of Cub fundraising activities.
Each den follows their own program for weekly den meetings to complete requirements but the varied age dens will interact at pack meetings or pack events (i.e. trips/camp-outs). Our cub pack, like others in program, already included entire families in our activities for many years.
Boys and their families looking to join are welcome to visit a Den or Pack meeting at any time of year; or for additional questions see our contact information page.

All meetings are from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm (times may differ based on what is happening that night). Please try to arrive earlier before the start of the meeting.
