How
To Join Pack 662? First,
you have to meet some very simple
requirements: You must be a grade school
student (1st through 5th grade -- or 7,
through 10 years of age).
Boys are organized into dens according to
age. Each den is led by a den leader and
an assistant. Parents of new Cub Scouts
are encouraged to provide this
leadership.
Contact one of the leaders listed on this
web site [click on the "Contact
Us" link in the navigation
bar on the left]. They would be
more than happy to answer any questions
you may have and get you started.
Benefits
of Joining
Of the
many benefits of Cub Scouts, our boys
have fun at den and pack meetings,
outdoor activities, field trips, learning
sportsmanship, citizenship, and
getting along with others, doing their
best for themselves and their den,
learning new skills, and doing new
things.

| What's
the Program All About Cub
Scout Dens meet once a week for
one hour, usually at school or at
the leader's home. A Den consists
of 5 to 10 boys and at least two
adults. At the Den meeting, the
Cubs work on specific crafts,
develop skills, work on skits and
songs. Parents (or adult
partners) are expected to attend
Den meetings with the boys and
participate along with the
activities.
Once a month the whole Pack
-that's all Tiger Cub, Cub and
Webelos Dens -- gather for a Pack
meeting. Pack Meetings are award
ceremonies, and usually involve a
special activity.
The January Pack Meeting is the
Pinewood Derby. The February
Meeting is the Blue and Gold
Banquet which is a very special
awards ceremony. The June Meeting
is Pack Graduation. (See "Calendar
of Events"
for a more detailed schedule.)
Additionally, the Pack goes
camping at least 2 times a year.
Most Pack meetings are held at
Ridgeway Elementary School.
