Welcome to Pack 171!
Pack 171 welcomes boys and girls in Kinder through 5th grade to our pack. We primarily recruit from Block House Creek Elementary, Giddens Elementary, Pleasant Hill Elementary and the surrounding area, but any interested elementary schooler can join regardless of where they attend school - that includes homeschoolers!
Our primary email address is bhcpack171@gmail.com for questions, comments, and information on joining the pack.
We use the BAND app to communicate during the year as well as email when needed. You will receive an invitation to join BAND after signing up online.

First Pack Meeting (with Orientation)
Our first pack meeting will be September 3rd at 6 PM at Rockbridge Church. This will serve as the annual orientation for all Cubs and their families and include a potluck dinner.
Parents/guardians will have the chance to fill out their annual paperwork packets as well as pay pack dues and look through the uniform closet. Our treasurer will be available to discuss payment plans and financial aid. New families do NOT need to bring a uniform or handbook today; take a look through the uniform closet first!
Meanwhile, the Cubs will be working on their first adventure of the year - Bobcat!
