Cub Scout Pack # 420

About Us

DO YOUR BEST.

HAVE FUN DOING IT.

 

The best way to find out what you do best is to do it. Throw a football. Catch a fish. Ride a bike. Set up a tent. Build a Pinewood Derby® car. Shoot a bow and arrow. Cub Scouting offers boys and girls the opportunity to see and learn fun, new things that can ’t be found anywhere else.

 

Cub Scouts are at that magical age where everything is new and possible and, most important, fun. They build things. Play with purpose. Make friends and work together. The life lessons learned here not only transform today’s Cub Scouts into tomorrow’s Scouts BSA members but also help form a foundation to embrace opportunity and overcome obstacles in life.

CUB SCOUTING...

  • Nurtures leadership and character growth
  • Strengthens families
  • Helps boys and girls develop interests and skills
  • Provides adventure
  • Creates fellowship
  • Promotes diversity
  • Teaches duty to God and country
  • Is FUN!

A research study by Tufts University showed that more time spent in Scouting results in better character development.

FAMILY FOCUSED.

VALUE DRIVEN.

Cub Scouting is a year -round program uniquely designed to meet the needs of young boys and girls (kindergarten through fifth grade) and their families. The program offers fun and challenging activities that promote character development and physical fitness. Family involvement is an essential part of the program, and parents are encouraged to play an active role. Cub Scouting helps parents make the most of the time they have to impact the lives of their children.

Pack 420 has been serving the Duluth area since 1986. We welcome all from Kindergarten through 5th and average 100 Scouts in our pack. We are a Parent Volunteer led pack and serves the youth from Mason, Chattahoochee and BB Harris Elementary Schools and private schools in the area. Pack 420 proudly supports the activities of its brother Troop, BSA Troop 419.

Cub Scouting Structure 
The Cub Scout is a member of a den.  Most dens have 6-12 scouts and meet once a week.  Den meetings are a time for learning new things and having fun.  Dens are led by a team of adult volunteers – the den leader and assistant den leaders.  Den leaders are usually parents of those in the den. Your Cub Scout is also a member of a pack.  Most packs have several dens and meet once a month.  Pack meetings usually follow a suggested theme and are a time for Scouts to be recognized for their accomplishments during the month and to have fun with the entire family. Packs are led by the Cubmaster and Pack Committee.  Like the den leaders, the Cubmaster and assistants are volunteers and are usually parents in the pack. The pack is owned by a community organization that is granted a charter by the Boy Scouts of America to use the Scouting program.  This chartered organization might be a school, service club, religious group or other group interested in youth.  The chartered organization approves the leadership of the pack, provides a meeting place and operates the pack within the guidelines and policies of the organization and the Boys Scouts of America.
