Why Scouting?

  1. Your child can learn skills about teamwork in sports and music. However, Scouting’s strength is that it provides a well-rounded program, and your child works at their own pace.
  2. As a parent, you will enjoy joining your child in fun and constructive activities.
  3. When you serve as a leader, you are helping youth achieve their full potential

Parent Expectation

  • Your child’s pack cannot exist without your involvement on some level.
  • You will find that the time you spend as an active Scouting parent will be quality time spent with your child.
  • You will create cherished memories that last a lifetime.
  • As parents, you have a short time to influence the life of your child. Scouting concides with that time, so make the most of it and join today!

What to expect at a Pack Meeting?

FUN! This is where the achievements of Scouts are recognized as they progress towards rank, where they can show off a little (games, songs, and skills) and information is distrubuted to parents and Scouts.

What is a Pack? What is a Den?

A Pack consists of many individual dens. Dens are formed by rank or grade. Typically, dens have six to eight children.
