How to Find a Group

Hi - Any ideas on how to find a cub scout group?

Check out this website:

http://www.joincubscouting.org/

Or you could look in your phone book under "Boy Scouts"; call them and let them know approx. what area you're looking at for a Cub Scout Pack (e.g., near your son's school or near your church).

Or you can do a web search under the name of your city and "Scouts" and see what turns up.

Good luck!

The Join Cub Scouting site that Fred posted is a good one. Under "Find a Pack", if you enter your zip code it will not only give you the info for your local BSA Council, it will list the Packs in your area by town. It shows the Pack number and the name of the Pack's Charter Organization (owner). You can then contact the organizations to get contact info on the Cubmaster of their Pack.

The Pack info listed might not be completely up to date. If you do not see anything for your town, you could also contact your local Council office and ask for contact info for your area.

Many Packs do not run regular den and Pack meetings over the summer months. However they should still be active with various outings & activities each month. My Pack held a Fishing Derby & Pack Family Campout in June. July is Council Summer Camp & a minor league baseball game. August is Council Day Camp & our Pack Rocket Shoot Picnic.

If a prospective Pack shuts down completely & does nothing over the summer, cross it off your list and keep on looking!

How old is your son? What grade will he be in this fall?

Thanks for the info! My son is almost 8 and is going into second grade this fall.

Ahhhh - A Brand new Wolf Cub!!

I know he will have fun & learn a lot!

Good luck!
