Cub Scout packs serve boys and girls who are in Kindergarten through fifth grade (or 5 through 10 years of age). Cub Scouts, families, leaders, and chartered organizations work together to achieve the 10 purposes of Cub Scouts:
☑ Character Development
☑ Spiritual Growth
☑ Good Citizenship
☑ Sportsmanship
☑ Family Understanding
☑ Respectful Relationships
☑ Personal Achievements
☑ Friendly Service
☑ Fun and Adventure
☑ Preparation for Scouts BSA
The Cub Scout pack is a group of Kindergarten through fifth graders. Led by the volunteer Cubmaster, the pack meets once a month. There are games, skits, stunts, songs, ceremonies, and presentations of awards earned that month. The pack also runs many special programs, such as Pinewood Derbies, hikes and weekend campouts.
The larger pack is broken into smaller groups of 6-8 children by grade levels, called dens. Den meetings are led by volunteer den leaders and assistant den leaders with help from the other parents. Den leaders and parents decide on a convenient meeting place and time, and meet weekly to work on age appropriate activities. Lion dens are Kindergarteners, Tiger dens are first-graders, Wolf dens are second-graders, Bear dens are third-graders, and Webelos dens are fourth and fifth-graders.
Fees change from year-to-year. While the packs fee vary from pack to pack over all the BSA registration is typically $75 for the year. Pack 876 fees (which include registration) are typically $150 for Lions and above. Uniforms are between $50-$100 and can be purchased at the local scout store or online
We don’t want anyone to think that Scouts is not affordable. If your child, is interested there are many ways to reduce the price. For example, children can participate in popcorn/peanut sales for fundraising. Every child that raises approximately $500 in sales (again, a number that may change from year-to-year), will have ZERO dues for the year.
Our Pack 876 maintains a pack store with lightly used uniforms for free or practically free costs. There are also resources throughout the council for used uniforms. You can also save money by purchasing your own pants/short/skirts.
We also have camping/outing equipment available for checkout to be sure everyone can join us camping!
