Pack 650

Scouting has been around a long time. Cub Scouts was formally launched in 1930 with 5,102 boys registered at the end of that first year. Since its inception, millions of children have participated in Scouting for the fun and excitement of it. Flowing underneath all this fun and excitement is a character-building program that encourages making good ethical choices, family strengthening, physical fitness, and citizenship skills in the lives of our children.

Scouting utilizes an advancement system that requires a scout to “do your best” to complete the requirements towards his Rank (Lion > Tiger > Wolf > Bear > Webelo > Arrow of Light). There are many awards and recognitions available in Scouting. Pack 650 strives to make each award earned significant and meaningful to the Scouts so it will be remembered for a long time.

For more than 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in the youth of America the many important values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were back in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that will positively influence their adult lives.

During Den Meetings, the children will play games, build craft projects, go on field trips, etc. to meet the objectives of their rank. They will be improving on different skills as they learn to get along with others, become more resourceful, and participate in new activities. Pack 650 is most active from September to May and the year culminates (near the end of the school term) with all the children will be ‘crossing over’ into the next rank at our Advancement ceremony. During the summer a few activities may be planned but most Den and Pack Meetings are suspended.

Thank you for taking the time to go over this web site and for your support. We are excited to have you in the Pack and we look forward to a rewarding and exciting Cub Scout experience together. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thank you,

Timothy Shealy, Cubmaster
