Online application for New Scouts
New to Cub Scouts? Here’s how we work.
Youth who join Pack 256 are divided into dens based on their grade level. We are welcoming both boys and girls, though they will have separate dens.
Kindergarten: Lions
1st Grade: Tigers
2nd Grade: Wolves
3rd Grade: Bears
4th and 5th Grade: Webelos
Activities at our twice-monthly pack meetings include crafts, games, field trips, community service events, hikes, and skits or songs. They all build toward achieving the next rank.
We generally have a pack hike or camping trip once per month. All of our activities are open to the entire family!
Why choose Scouting?
The Scouting program instills character and develops life skills. The Scouts teach values outlined in the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
And we do it primarily through outdoor experiences — hiking and camping — and by giving you, the parent opportunities to form lasting memories with your son or daughter.
Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law
A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent
