Welcome to Pack 397

Why join Cub Scouts?
Cub Scouting provides a noncompetitive, team-oriented atmosphere that focuses on teaching life skills, promoting physical fitness and developing character.
Our Pack meets approximately once per month at St. Eugene or at other nearby locations. Meetings typically last about 90 minutes.
Cub Scouts work together to complete "Adventures" and earn awards as a group.
Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I have to attend every meeting? No, we understand that families have conflicting schedules and are very flexible. Our meetings are designed to help Scouts achieve their grade-specific requirements, so attending meetings will help keep them on track. Most activities can be easily performed at home, so that Scouts can easily make up anything that they miss at a meeting.
Do I need to be an outdoors expert? No. No specific background or knowledge is required AT ALL. We welcome any skills or experiences that Scouts and their parents can offer. We all follow the Scout Motto to "Do Your Best."
