Cub Scout Pack 592
What is Cub Scouts?
Cub Scouts is for all kindergarten-5th grade kids. We do lots of fun activities throughout the year like fishing, hiking, volunteering, visiting the pumpkin patch and archery. Some Cub Scouts attend summer camp (usually with a parent) and one of the year's highlights is always Pinewood Derby! The Pack consists of all of the Scouts together. Each Pack is broken up into Dens, usually by grade level. For example, all of the first graders would be in the Tiger Den.
Who is Pack 592?
Pack 592 has been in the Raleigh Hills area since 1948. Our charter organization (sponsor) is Valley Community Presbyterian Church and we are able to use the church's building and outdoor areas for meetings and activities. Most of our Scouts live in the surrounding area or attend a nearby school.
How often do you meet?
We have Pack meetings once a month, usually the last Thursday evening of the month. Den meetings are also generally held once a month and the schedule is figured out within the Den. We also typically have a monthly fun Pack activity on a weekend.
Cub Scouts is designed to be a fun Scout/parent activity and Pack 592 is not a drop-off pack. We ask that each Scout have a parent or responsible adult stay with them during all activities and meetings.
How much does it cost to join?
2022 Scout fees are $120. Pack 592 runs an annual wreath sale fundraiser each October where Scouts can raise money to cover these fees. Many of our Scouts sell enough wreaths to cover all of their dues! Scouts joining in the Spring of 2022 will pay a prorated fee through December. Scholarships may be available for those who need them – please reach out to us for more information about them!
How do I join?
To join, please complete a paper application and submit the starting fee. You can provide your application to any parent volunteer. Online signups are also available at https://beascout.scouting.org/.
What about the Cub Scout Uniform?
All new Scouts will need to provide their own uniform and rank gear (one time purchase – shirt with badges, hat, neckerchief/slide, belt and rank book). For young scouts, purchase an oversized shirt and they can grow into it over the course of their scouting journey. Gear can be purchased at the Nor'West Scout Shop in downtown Portland or ordered online through scoutshop.org. The cost is approximately $100. Every May, the Pack will provide each Scout with the next rank's gear and book, free of charge.
