I'm New Here!

Welcome to Pack 271!

We appreciate the fact that you've joined the thousands of families who want to see their youth grow in personal, mental, and civic fitness. You can learn a great deal about participating in our pack from this Welcome Packet for Parents.

Our pack aims to make the scouting experience accessible to as many families in as many situations as possible. If you're new to scouting and outdoor activities we hope you find these resources helpful. If you have any questions that aren't covered here, please let us know via our Contact Page!

Our pack runs with the help of our volunteers and our families. We invite every family to let us know ways they would like to help by filling out our talent survey.

Camping

Our pack participates in multiple camping trips each year. While these trips are not mandatory, it is a great way to get to know the rest of your pack family. 

We typically spend 2 days (Friday night - Sunday Morning) in fellowship out in nature. However, families have the option to join us for only the daytime activities and skip the sleeping outdoors part if they choose. 

If you've never been camping before, we know this can seem daunting. Our pack has developed a list of suggested camping gear: Download PDF. Please let your Den leader know if you have any reservations about spending time in the woods or need help with equipment. If you do not have everything on this list, don't let that stop you from coming out with us. Let a leader know and we'll do our best to make sure this doesn't prevent your family from participating!

Social Media

We use social media to help spread awareness about scouting and what our Pack is doing in our community. We would love to have you follow and tag us as your family is on your scouting journey! You can find pictures of our recent activities and events on our Facebook page.
