Yes, your children will be safe. Scouting prioritizes youth safety above all else and takes strong, proactive measures to protect every participant. This includes mandatory youth protection training, background checks, banning one-on-one adult-youth interactions, and requiring leaders to follow strict safety guidelines for all activities. Scouting emphasizes supervision, risk assessment, appropriate fitness and equipment, and environmental awareness to ensure a safe and positive experience for all youth.

Yes, Scouting is more relevant than ever. It helps kids build confidence, character, and leadership through hands-on experiences like outdoor adventures, STEM activities, and community service. Scouting is for all families who want to see their children grow into responsible, capable, and caring individuals.

Absolutely! Scouting is all about trying new things. From camping, fishing, and hiking to building Pinewood Derby cars, launching rockets, and exploring STEM, Scouts are constantly discovering new skills and interests. Along the way, they build confidence, make friends, and gain experiences that can shape their future in exciting ways.

Complete a membership application online. You may also contact us and let us know of your interest. If you’re undecided on joining, you can visit a meeting and see whether Scouting and Pack 79 are a good fit for you.

Once you have applied, we will assign you to a den and notify the den leader. He or she will contact you and tell you when the den meets. The Cubmaster will invite you to pack activities.  

Dens typically meet once per month. Most dens meet on a weekday evening, usually at 6:00 or 6:30 pm. Den meetings last one hour.

On the third Wednesday of each month, all dens come together for a pack meeting. These meetings start at 6:30 pm and last one hour.

For incoming Lions (kindergarteners), meeting times won’t be set until the den forms and we have a den leader. The den leader, along with the parents, will pick a day and time that works best. 

Scouting America is competitively priced to fees for other youth organizations and sports. We charge annual membership fees of $85; however, fundraising often allows the pack to cover a portion of each Scout's dues. The Scout will also need to purchase the necessary uniform pieces and handbook for each rank as they advance.

We ask that each Scout do their best in the annual popcorn sale. Funds raised allow the pack to cover the full cost of pack activities and awards. 

The Cub Scout Family Information Guide contains basic information and answers to common questions for new families.
