For Boys and their Parents

We have one of Georgia's most active Cub Scout programs, with Pack meetings every month, Den meetings and other experiences throughout the year. We encourage attendance at as many activities as possible. Some activities can help the boys advance through the Cub Scout ranks or earn belt loops and badges.

Throughout the year, each Den takes participates in the monthly Pack meeting. This is your Pack, and taking responsibility to run it will allow both boys and parents to participate in scouting ideals. The Cubmaster often provides the theme for the meeting, and our District Roundtables continuously supply plenty of ideas for activities.

We want parents to be active as well! We have numerous positions available, ranging from a once-a-year commitment, to Den Leader to Pack administration. We have a Pack Committee made up of leaders and other adults, and that is always open to parents that meets to discuss and plans events and the fund raising necessary to help the pack go and to support the plans made by Den leaders.

We encourage parents to consider a role in which they can best use their talents and skills (i.e., Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmaster, Committee Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Fund raising, Advancement, Activities Chairs or as an assistant to a position). And not to worry, there are plenty of training classes to help you along if you feel don't know what to do. Remember, all of the current adult leaders started out where you are - so just jump right up and ask the Cubmaster or another leader how you can help. And parents - don't tell the scouts - but sometimes we have as much or more fun than the boys do.

Pack 402 offers a family oriented program for boys in grades 1-5 that combines fun with educational activities and lifelong values. In Cub Scouting, boys learn ideals like honesty, bravery, and respect. These values help boys make constructive decisions throughout their lives and give them the confidence they need to grow and develop.

Pack 402 also welcomes individuals who may have been involved in Scouting in the past or folks who are just interested in volunteering some time. You have the chance to be a positive influence on the youth in your community. If you have questions about the role you could play or for more information about Cub Scouting, please Contact Us !
