We are focused on cub safety! All of our leaders are trained in their position according to BSA training guidelines, with two deep adult leadership at all events. Youth Protection Training is required of all of our volunteers, and is a joining requirement for adults -- renewable every two years.

Pack Facebook Page/Group
Pack Facebook Page/Group
We're on Facebook... in two forms! This allows us to share relevant information with our families, and also let the Dexter community have a peek into what it's like to be a part of Cub Scouts. Some of our former Cub Scout families still follow us, because they love scouting! Not sure which one you should follow/join? Keep reading!
We have a closed Facebook Group for current scouts and their families. If you are interested in joining our pack, we'll add you to this group after you join!
We also have a public Facbook page for friends and community who are interested in what we've been up to. If you're interested in joining the pack, follow this page!

Around the World - Geocaching
Around the World - Geocaching
In 2021, our scouts learned about geocaching, and Cub Scout Pack 477 sent trackables out into the world for the summer! We released one trackable for each cub scout rank (Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, Arrow of Light). At our rank up event in June 2021, scouts submitted ideas for where they thought these trackables might travel.
Curious to see where our trackables are at today? Click the button below to see how far they've travelled and where they're at now. One has even travelled to Australia and back!
