Pack 146

Cub Scout Pack 146 General Information

Cub Scouts are a part of the Boy Scouts of America for girls and boys in Kindergarten through 5th grades. The Cub Scout experience includes fun, excitement, outdoor opportunities and a chance to participate in a program which emphasizes participation, “doing your best,” and helping others. Youth safety is the highest priority of Scouting. Screened and trained volunteer parents lead each Den and the Pack. Cub Scouting is for Scouts, parents, and their families together, as they work and learn with their girls and boys to gain new skills and experiences.

Cub Scouts:

Experience new physical skills through games, crafts, camping, and sports
Learn how to get along with others through group activities
Are encouraged to respect themselves, their home, country and other people
Develop values that will assist them in making appropriate decisions in the future

Pack 146:

Is chartered by the St. Andrews Church
Accepts both boys and girls into our Pack
Manages Dens by age/grade level for both boys and girls
Request that families attend their Den and Pack meetings regularly, or as much as possible each month, but requires one adult per scout.

Den Meetings:

Den Meetings are at 6:30 PM at St. Andrews, 431 North 16th Street, Oxford, MS, unless otherwise specified.
Meetings include activities to progress toward rank awards, plus games, crafts, sharing, songs, ceremonies and lots of fun. Dens often have a monthly field trip activity.
Dens are led by the parents of the Scouts in the Den (aka “Akelas,” meaning “adult leaders”).
Cub Scout Den meetings require at least one parent or guardian to attend along with their Cub Scout (it is not a drop off program).

Pack Meetings:

All of the Dens meet together as a Pack, typically on the 1st or 3rd Monday (holidays will shift) of each month from 6:30pm to 7:30pm at St. Andrews Church.
Meetings have various activities, including presentations of skits, achievement awards, skills activities, and special races of cars, boats or rockets the Scouts make with their Akelas.

Camping: Fall and Spring at the various Council’s campgrounds.
Community: Scouting for Food, Toy Drive
