Welcome to Pack 79!
Cub Scout Pack 79 offers a year-round program designed to entertain and educate young boys (kindergarten through fifth grade) and their families. The program offers fun and challenging activities that promote citizenship, character development, and physical fitness. We welcome and encourage family involvement, and parents are encouraged to be active participants as leaders and volunteers. Cub Scouting helps parents make the most of the short time they have to impact the lives of their children.
Our pack depends on the dedication of its volunteer leaders and parents like you! We all believe that Scouting is an important part of the physical, mental, and spiritual development of our children.
Our goal is to provide our Scouts with new experiences, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards by instilling in our youth the values expressed in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. We aim to teach boys that doing their best can be a fun and rewarding experience, no matter the difficulty of the challenge.
We sincerely hope that if you or if someone you know is considering becoming involved in Scouting, you will contact one of our leaders..
Our Chartered Organization
Our chartered organization is Chatham-Auburn Memorial VFW Post 4763. The close relationship between the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Scouting America dates back over 100 years
when VFW Post 2100 teamed up with another civic
organization to establish Troop 1 in Everett,
Washington. This century-long affiliation has fostered
true patriotism, community service and strong, moral
character throughout the ensuing decades. During World
Wars I and II, Scouts played a major part in helping
collect food and other items to support the troops in the
war. Since that time, Scouting has continued to be a
supporter of the VFW, and many VFW members were Scouts in their youth.
All Scouting organizations provide a first-class youth
development and education program. The VFW is an ideal organization to
incorporate the Cub Scout program into support for youth
in our community. By chartering our pack, VFW Post 4763 has the
opportunity to work in partnership with Cub Scout Pack 79 to positively
affect the lives of boys in our local area while expanding community outreach and developing a clear
resource for veterans' families and their children. Cub Scout Pack 79 takes pride in this partnership and thanks Chatham-Auburn Memorial VFW Post 4763 for their support!
