New to Cub Scouts?

Here is how it works

Cub Scouting is for kids in kindergarten through fifth grade. Scouts meet in grade-based dens and come together as a pack for shared activities. Most months include a den meeting and a pack meeting, plus special events through the year, with families taking part alongside their Scouts.

Most pack meetings are at Graystone Elementary School; each den leader sets the den's own time and place.

Parent-led

Pack 274 is powered by parents

Pack 274 is parent-led: parent volunteers make pack meetings, outings, service projects, and special activities possible. Den leaders are our biggest ongoing need — and helping does not have to mean a year-long role. Own one activity, cook a campout dinner, help set up the Pinewood Derby, or bring snacks for one meeting.
