The ranks align with the child's grade level, starting with Lion, Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and Arrow of Light.

Children are grouped into "Dens" based on their grade level, and all dens within a geographic area form a larger "Pack".

A variety of activities including camping, hiking, community service projects, games, crafts and learning life skills. Check out our Events!

Parents are highly encouraged to be involved in Cub Scouts, often serving as leaders or assisting with activities. Scouting works best when families are involved, but you don’t need to be an expert camper or have tons of free time. Help when you can - whether it’s leading a craft, organizing a snack, or joining the committee.

The Pack Leadership Committee is the executive board of the Pack, and oversees all aspects of the program, finances, membership, and policies of the Pack.

All children who join Cub Scouts will need to purchase the "Class A" uniform, which consists of the blue Cub Scout shirt, and the appropriate patches: World Crest, Council patch, red Pack numbers, and the Den patch. The uniform comes with the American Flag already sewn on. Click here for an illustrated guide to the uniform

If you want to look for other Scouting items, kits, decorations, gifts, etc. you may want to take a trip to the Milford, CT Scout Shop. You can also purchase uniforms and other items at the official BSA Uniform website, www.scoutshop.org

The annual dues cover our costs to ensure that our Pack is properly chartered, registered, and insured by the Connecticut Yankee Council. For our pack, it also includes our September Pack campout, May picnic, supplies for Den and Pack meetings, and all awards earned by our Scouts. Unlike many other packs, we do not charge families a monthly activity fee.
