Cub Scouting Here at Pack 89
We're glad you've chosen to join Pack 89 for our 2007/08 Scouting Year. Cub Scouting is a home-and neighborhood-centered program designed to support family life. Cub Scouts are first through fifth grade boys, and many already know each other through school and sports. Cub Scouting furthers those relationships, and uses several methods to focus on specific goals. Continue reading the information provided below, this will give you a brief description of the Cub Scouting program.
Pack 89's By-Laws are available "HERE"
Volunteers.
This program is run by volunteers. We need you, even if you don't have prior experience to help wherever you can!! We currently are in desperate need of leaders for several dens, so please volunteer to help out where you can. Need an application? Click "HERE" for the adult application. If you need an application for your son click "HERE".Fees and Uniforms
- For registration fees for Pack 89 Cub Scouts please contact Robin Anderson at pack89membership@yahoo.com.
- The Cub Scout uniform is an important part of the program. While we don't require the entire uniform for our scouts, we would like every boy to have the shirt, cap, neckerchief, and insignia. The boy's uniform can be purchased at the Scout Store, located next to the South Post Chapel. The store hours are M/W/F 8-2, the phone number is 738-3166.

Meetings and Information
- Many of the activities happen right in the den and pack. The most important are the weekly den meetings and the monthly pack meetings.
- Please remember that Cub Scouting is a family activity and the Den meetings and the Pack meetings are a great place for family involvement. It takes everyone to make a strong Pack with exciting activities. Den Leaders are responsible for setting up the overall program for the year, and scheduling the events; but other den parents can host the den meetings at their houses, provide snacks, or take care of arrangements, supplies etc. Den Leaders would welcome the parents’ help to make their job easier and increase the boys’ enjoyment. It also brings a great deal of pride to your son to have you play an active role in his activity.
- As a Pack, we strive to keep our families informed of upcoming activities at the pack, district and council level. We maintain a website and provide handouts at the den meetings. Our Scout Hut is also a good source for current information. We believe each family should have every opportunity to know about the Pack’s events and encourage them to read the provided material.

Please review the requirements in your son’s handbook and help complete the steps needed for his rank.
- Who: The Den Leader is responsible for their meeting and materials. Parents are encouraged to volunteer their help with the den meetings. At least two adults are required to be present at all times.
PACK MEETINGS
- When: Usually 7:00-8:00 PM on the 4th Friday of each month.
- Where: Seoul Elementary American School cafeteria
- Why: We recognize our Scouts’ achievements, hand out awards, and provide a showcase for the boys’ talents through skits, songs, and crafts.

Below you can read about the Advancement Plan in the Cub Scouts. We look forward to a great year of Scouting, and hope you will decide to be a part of it. Recognition is important to young boys. The Cub Scout advancement plan provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family members work with boys on advancement projects.
