INTRODUCTION

 

Welcome to Cub Scouts, Pack 765. We are located Trinity Lutheran Church at 104 East Abbott Street, Lansford, Pa. 18232.   We hold our weekly den meetings and monthly Pack meetings at the Trinity Lutheran Church on Thursday nights at 6:00pm.  The first Thursday of the month are our Pack meetings.  We are excited that you have chosen to be a member of our Pack.  Cub Scouting is a Family Program, it requires parents to volunteer - this way, the parents and their scouts benefit from the program together, as they build a stronger bond with each other along with their communities. 

 

VISION STATEMENT

Pack 765 will prepare our Cub Scouts for Scouts and help them to become responsible, participating citizens and leaders within their community.

 

MISSION STATEMENT

To prepare our Cub Scouts for Scouts by promoting and fostering our values through critical thinking skills. To inspire ethical and morally correct decisions over their lifetimes, while instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

Our Pack strives to promote the Cub Scout core values, such as Citizenship, Compassion, Cooperation, Courage, Faith, Health and Fitness, Honesty, Perseverance, Positive Attitude, Resourcefulness, Respect, and Responsibility. Cub Scout Pack 765 uses fun activities to help our children learn these values.

 

CHARTER ORGANIZATION
Pack 765 is chartered by the Trinity Lutheran Church, 104 East Abbot Street, Lansford, PA. 18232. This is where we will have our weekly den meetings and our monthly Pack meeting. Many of our outdoor events will be held here as well.  

 

PACK COMMITTEE & OTHER COMMITTEES 

 

 

The function of the Pack Committee is largely administrative. Meetings of the Pack Committee are held once a month, or more often, to discuss Pack business. Pack Committee meetings are held to discuss upcoming Pack activities, and to determine how Committee members can best help facilitate the Pack activities. Pack Committee members may be elected or appointed to one year term.  Any parent can come and participate in any Pack Committee meeting. At this point, there are no term limits, however it is believed the Pack will benefit by rotating new parents through the Pack Committee. Optimistically, all parents would become members of the Pack Committee, Program Committee, Administration Committee, or Recruiting Committee.

LION SCOUTS (Kindergarten)

 

Lion Scouts and Parent(s) are a team and join together. Lion Scouts require at least one adult 18 years of age or older accompany the lion scout to every scout function. This includes all Den, Pack, and special events. Lion scouts meet for a Den meeting weekly at the Church. Although there will be a set Lion Den Leader, Lion scout adult partners may take turns leading den meetings.

 

TIGER SCOUTS (1st Grade)

 

Tiger Scouts and Parent(s) are a team and join together. Tigers Scouts require at least one adult 18 years of age or older accompany the tiger scout to every scout function. This includes all Den, Pack, and what used to be called “Go See It” events. Tiger scouts meet for a Den meeting weekly at the Church and a “Go See It” (field trip) once a month. Although there will be a set Tiger Den Leader, Tiger scout adult partners may take turns leading den meetings. Help and ideas are ALWAYS provided as needed by the Den leader or Cubmaster!! Don’t be afraid to ask for help! That is why they are there!!

 

    

WOLF & BEAR SCOUTS (2nd & 3rd Grade)

 

Wolf and Bear scouts complete several adventures to earn their rank badge (patch). All the requirements are outlined in the hand books. These requirements are meant to be completed at home with parent /guardian assistance. Achievements may be worked on at Den meetings at the discretion of the Den Leader. Either a parent or the den leader can approve and sign off the work.

 

Wolf and Bear scouts BSA documents state specifically that Wolf and Bear parents are not required to attend Den meetings. However, being a Den Leader can be a very time consuming activity which may require the help of parents. Some Den Leaders elect to have a parent host be responsible for running the Den Meetings. This allows the Den Leader to catch up on paperwork or have parent meetings. Den Leaders or Den Trainers are expected to help plan and/or offer advice on the Den meeting plan and provide needed books, literature and supplies. Everyone has talents and strengths, so there may be a parent who can offer a little help to the Den Leader. Just remember to keep it fun and make Cub Scouts an enjoyable and memorable experience.  

 

WEBELOS and ARROW OF LIGHT (4th & 5th Grade)

This program is for Girls/boys who have completed third grade (or are age 10). A girl/boy may begin working on the Webelos badge as soon as s/he joins a Webelos or Arrow of Light den. This is the first step in his transition from the Cub Scouts to the Girl/Boy Scout troop. Webelos complete the requirements found in the Webelos Handbook, work on activity badges, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements—all leading to the Arrow of Light Award. A key difference is that the Webelos Leader is responsible for approving and signing off achievements (not the cub scouts Parent /Guardian) as this prepares the boys for the Boy Scout method that is the next step in their Scouting adventure.
