Your Den will be full of other Cub Scouts your age. All great kids that have similar goals, they will also likely be your best friends for years to come.
Den Meetings, Pack Meetings, Campouts, Hikes, and much more. Pack leadership is always working hard and dedicated to providing oportunities to experiance and learn through Scouting. There is a lot of fun to be had!
Advancing through the ranks requires new adventures. Learning about paleontology, fishing, wood shop, and much, much more, will give you the opportunity to try new things.
Cub Scouting teaches Scouts valuable skills and tools for everyday life. In addition to the outdoor and camping skills; Scouts learn to be good leaders, become self-reliant and resilient civic minded, to work hard, to be kind and accepting of others and self-respect and discipline. Every adventure in Cub Scouts is both fun and a learning experiance
Located in Ahwatukee, AZ, Cub Scout Pack 178 is family Pack serving boys and girls in grades K-5. We have an active pack with leaders and parent volunteers dedicated to providing their cubs with an education and experiences that are both fun and rewarding. We are a community, and you are welcome to join us! In Cub Scouting you’ll have lots of fun, adventure, and activities with your den and pack. But there’s more to it than that. Being a Cub Scout means you are a member of a worldwide youth movement that stands for certain values and beliefs. Cub Scouting is more than something to do. It’s all about the person you are and the person you will become.
Cub Scout Pack 178 has several optional pack campouts per year for our scouts to take advantage of. Your scout’s dues pays for the Fall and Spring campouts, normally held at one of the Arizona BSA camps. Our Summer campout is made to be extremely affordable through sharing of the campground costs.
If the Pack campouts aren’t enough, the Gila River District and Grand Canyon Council have camps that your Cub can enjoy as well. Camp Kaibab in Williams, AZ, and Cub Scout Camp at R-C in Payson, AZ, are two of the most popular.
Outdoor events don’t stop with camping. Pack 178 has three day hikes planned every year. These hikes are local, with locations chosen so that every cub in the pack can have fun.
Many of our cubs, and parents, are new to camping. Pack 178 has day events planned that will introduce cubs to the camping experience. How to cook in a dutch oven, put up a tent, roll up a sleeping bag. There’s a lot of skill involved for a cub that’s never been camping before. We teach those skills!
Scouting is an amazing experience for youths, and their families! Feel free to contact us and make arrangements to visit a Pack or Den meeting. We look forward to sharing our experiences, and hopefully, welcoming you into our Pack.
