How Pack 170 Works

One Unified Schedule. Natural Big-Sibling Mentorship.

Tired of juggling three different sports practices at three different fields? Pack 170 operates as an integrated, multi-age Pack. While each Scout works toward grade-specific adventures, we meet, hike, and camp as a single community.

Streamlined for Busy Parents: One gathering location, one calendar, and siblings are always included.
Real Youth Leadership: Older 4th and 5th graders learn patience and leadership by helping Kindergarteners and 1st graders with knots, tents, and trail skills.
Grade-Level Badges: Scouts advance through the official ranks (Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and Arrow of Light) throughout the year.

Common Questions

Everything Parents Need to Know

No gatekeeping, no surprises. Here is how simple it is to get started.

Do parents or kids need any outdoor or camping experience? +
No, not at all! Even if your family has never pitched a tent or taken a hike before, you are welcome here. We teach every skill step-by-step in a safe, supportive environment. The Cub Scout motto is "Do Your Best"—and have fun doing it!
What is the meeting schedule and time commitment? +
We know families have sports, music, and busy homework routines. Pack 170 typically meets 2 to 3 times per month during the school year, with one optional weekend outing (like a hike, campfire, or service project). Scouting works alongside sports and other activities!
Can girls join Pack 170? +
Yes! Cub Scouting is fully open to both boys and girls in Kindergarten through 5th Grade. We are proud to be a family-first pack where brothers and sisters can participate together.
Can we attend a meeting before officially registering? +
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it! Fill out the short form below and our leadership team will invite your family to an upcoming meeting or outdoor hike so your child can experience the fun firsthand.
