Pack

Sponsored and Supported by

Weston Volunteer Fire Department

Pack 75 and the WVFD believe in promoting preparedness, safety, responsibility, and unselfish service to one’s

community.

You have to participate with your son to complete the program achievement requirements in his Cub Handbook.

You need to attend monthly Pack Events. The Den depends on him to do his part in a skit or song, or other job. He should be present to receive recognition & awards.

You must participate in the Pack Fundraiser. Registration fees cover LESS THAN HALF of the annual operating costs.

You are required to assist with Den and Pack activities throughout the year "To make the Pack Go.“ Your $125 Membership Registration Fee Covers:

$40 National BSA registration, insurance, Boy’s Life 15 BSA Program awards and badges for boys 40 Den Dues (weekly meeting supplies & activities) 25 School facility fees (3 pack mtgs & 1 Pinewood

Optional Scouting Outings – Pay-As-You-GoThird parties offer scouting events coordinated by the Pack as optional “enrichment” outings for those that want to pay the additional event fee. The Pack does not profit from these events and they fall outside the core program of monthly pack events and den meetings which are funded through member registration and annual fundraising.

2013-14 Optional Scouting Enrichment Outings Coordinated by Pack 75 (at publication):- Army Scout Day at West Point (September 14, 2013)- Fishing Derby at Deer Lake (April 5th , 2014)- Webelos Overnight Woods (October 26-27, 2013) - BSA Day Camp (Camp Hoyt- July) and BSA Resident (Camp Deer Lake- August)

THE CUB SCOUT PROGRAMBoys within the Pack are grouped into small Dens of 6-8 boys based on their grade in school, or rank. The Cub Scout program is then delivered through age-appropriate activities in the rank handbooks. BSA has almost 100 years invested studying boys and developing the programs.

TIGER: 1st grade boys are with a parent partner. Each Tiger Cub family team is a part of their den and work together on den activities, family activities and “Go See Its”- field trip activities.

WOLF: 2nd grade boys work on 12 Achievements to earn the Wolf rank badge, and then may work on electives in different interest areas. Most requirements are home-based.

BEAR: 3rd grade boys complete 12 of 24 Achievements before working on Electives. Most requirements are home-based with more den activities and achievements. This program offers more “choice” as the boys expand their individual interests.

WEBELOS: The program progresses for 4th & 5th grade boys to an 18-month
