Cub Scout Pack 306 

New Scouts

We are always open to having new Scouts enter our Pack. Please reach out to our Cubmaster Kevin Curran at pack306arlington@gmail.com for additional information. 

Cub Scouts runs in parallel with the school year. Normally there are two meetings per month, the full Pack (all Cub Scouts) meets as a large group and the smaller "Den" meets consist of only same-grade Cubs one other time. Times and scheduling for the Den meetings vary between Dens. There is usually a discussion in the fall about what times work the best.  For the 2022-23 year we will return to more indoor meetings, but we will still take advantage of warmer weather for outdoor meetings whenever possible. The Pack also tries to do a service project and/or an additional fun activity per month. Currently our Pack events for September, October and November are all outside.

Dens are grouped by school grade and all work on the same rank: Lions are Kindergarten; Tigers are First Graders; Wolves are Second Graders; Bears are Third Graders. Fourth and Fifth Graders are Webelos.

Cub Scouts is not a "drop-off" activity - parents are required to attend meeting events and activities with their Scout. Siblings of any age and gender are welcome to join in the meetings/events too.  Also, we are an all-volunteer organization so any help with the Dens or the Pack is greatly appreciated.

The overall cost per Scout increased this year at the national level. Due to this, we will be increasing our registration cost to $80. Our fundraiser is our fall Popcorn sales event so the better we do each year, the lower we can make registration and subsidize more activities throughout the year. The fee covers all awards and badges earned throughout the year along with membership fees for the national organization, the Spirit of Adventure Council Activities Membership, the Cub Scout handbook, neckerchief and slide, as well as a Pack tee shirt. A subscription to Scouts Life magazine is available for an extra $12/year.
