Why Join Pack 179?

At Pack 179, we focus on creating a supportive, inclusive environment where kids can:

  • Have fun while learning new things

  • Explore the outdoors through hikes, camping, and nature activities

  • Make new friends and build confidence

  • Earn achievements and be recognized for their efforts

  • Give back through service projects and community events

We also believe in strong family involvement — Cub Scouting is something you do with your child, not just for them. Parents and guardians are encouraged to participate in meetings, outings, and leadership roles.
