Welcome to Pack 305

New Family Guide

What to expect, what your Scout needs, how meetings work, and where parents fit in.

Your First Visit

You do not need to know anything about Scouting before you visit. Come to a Tuesday meeting, meet your den, and see what the Pack is doing.

🕕
Meeting time
Tuesdays, 6:00–7:00 PM.
📍
Location
Kingston Veterans & Sportsmen’s Club, 138 Kingston Club Road, Latrobe.
🎒
For a first visit
Comfortable clothes and a willingness to join in are enough. We can explain uniforms and handbooks after you see the Pack.

How Cub Scouts Works

Scouts are grouped into dens by school grade. Each den works on grade-specific Adventures, and the Pack brings everyone together for larger activities, celebrations, service, and family events.

Scouting America describes advancement as progress toward the badge of rank for each grade, with Adventures covering topics such as hiking, nature, science, citizenship, first aid, sports, and more.
