OUR PACK

   LEADING YOUTH TO LIFELONG VALUES

​Who We Are

We are a Cub Scout pack of the Boy Scouts of America, chartered by Daphne United Methodist Church. Our den meetings and pack meetings are often held at the Community Life Center at Daphne United Methodist Church. We are under the Mobile Area Council's Baldwin District of the BSA.

 

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides the Cub Scout program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness. Being a Cub Scout means you are a member of a worldwide youth movement that stands for certain values and beliefs. 

 

Since its beginning, the Cub Scout program has been a fun and educational experience concerned with values. Besides providing a positive place where boys and girls can enjoy safe, wholesome activities, Cub Scouting focuses on building character, improving physical fitness, teaching practical skills, and developing a spirit of community service. 

 

​What We Offer

Our Pack is open to boys and girls in kindergarten through fifth grade (or ages 5-11).* Why join? Scouting is a worldwide organization, dedicated to bringing out the best in people. Cub Scouting is fun with a purpose - helping each child learn, grow and mature. Of course, we do all that while having fun!

 

  • Fun - This is why any child wants to join, and we will do our best to make sure each girl and boy has a good time while learning new things, taking on challenges and making new friends. In our Pack, we emphasize frequent camping trips, annual events like the Pinewood Derby and the Raingutter Regatta, and social events.

  • Ideals - Cub Scouting emphasizes spiritual and character growth, development of good citizens and personal fitness. 

  • Family - There are a lot of different types of families, and our Pack strives to support all types of families, providing lots of opportunities to have fun together, including our Blue & Gold Dinner and Christmas party.

  • Skills - Cub Scouts learn a variety of useful skills in a number of subjects, including conservation, safety, physical fitness, community awareness, academic subjects, sports, and religious activities. 

  • Adventure - Camping, games, outdoor challenges!

  • Advancement and Recognition - Cub Scouting provides multiple opportunities for Scouts to earn badges and awards. 

  • Diversity, Fellowship and Positive Attitude - We welcome a diversity of Scouts, brought together to create a feeling of working together for the better.
