About Pack 531
Pack 531 has a great program for kids in Kindergarten through fifth grades. Most of our members come from the following local schools:
- Walker Elementary
- Reuben Johnson Elementary
Pack Meetings:
Pack Meetings are usually held on the 3rd Thursday of the month. The monthly pack meeting brings together every den, their leaders, and their families, to participate in a event that can serve as a showcase for everything the scouts have learned and done in their individual den meetings. The pack meeting gives the scouts a larger experience beyond their own den, and helps them to connect their individual activities to the entire Cub Scouting program. Visitors are always welcome.

Dens generally meet 2-3 times a month to work on advancement, belt loops, badges and to have fun while learning new skills. Meetings may take place in a home or on a field trip. Webelos are encouraged to go on overnights either camping or visiting exciting places.

The Pack Needs You!
Cub Scouting is hands on. Whether you’re helping scouts learn how to tie knots, showing them how to use a hammer, or teaching them how to cook their own breakfast, we need you! Cub Scouting is a family event, designed to provide activities for parents to do with their Scouts to make lifelong memories.The Pack is run by volunteers, and we need every family to participate in order to make it successful. We expect each family to volunteer in some way during the year, plus volunteering benefits both you and the scouts! No experience necessary, we'll walk beside you every step of the way, providing you with training and resources to help.
1. You'll get to interact with your scouts while doing fun, unique activities. It may not seem like it right now, but we really don’t have a lot of time with our boys before they’re off to live their own lives.
2. Dip your toes in the water. When the boys are Tigers, parents must attend with their scouts. This a great time to volunteer for small projects while learning more about how your Den and Pack functions.
3. Consider sharing responsibilities. Pair up with another parent to be co-leaders of a den, organize a Pack activity or special den functions. Scouting's more fun when everyone is involved!
4. Are you outgoing or reserved? There are lots of behind the scene things you can do to help, like keeping track of advancement and awards for your den. Leading songs or teaching skits are good jobs for the parents who are outgoing. We have something for everyone!
5. What are your talents? The scouts will be given the opportunity to learn lots of fun new things during their scouting years, and your hobby or interest may be a perfect fit! Please fill out this talent sheet and turn it into your den leader: Family Talent Survey Sheet.
