When & where are meetings held?

Unless otherwise noted on the calendar, Pack meetings are held at the Oak Hill Elementary cafeteria.  Please remember that your Cub Scout may not be left at Pack meetings without parental supervision.  Your whole family is welcome to attend if you prefer.  Each Den usually meets on its own at least twice a month.  Days, times and location are at each Den’s discretion.  There must be two adults present at each Den meeting.  Please do not bring siblings to Den meetings, as they are filled with activities planned specifically for Den members.

What are Pack 160's uniform requirements?
Cub Scouts have two uniforms – Class A and Class B.  Class A uniforms consist of the blue Cub Scout shirt for Tiger, Wolf and Bear and the tan Boy Scout shirt for Webelo scouts.  Each scout also wears the neckerchief that is specific for his level.  Neckerchief slides are provided by the pack to each new scout.  Patches needed to complete the uniform are the council shoulder patch, World Scouting emblem, red unit numeral (can be purchased from the pack) and appropriate den number (see den leader).  Though scouts are expected to have a neat appearance at activities, official BSA uniform pants, socks, caps and belts are not required in Pack 160. The Class B uniform is the Pack t-shirt worn on some outings and sold at Pack meetings.

Class A Uniforms and other supplies can be purchased at the scout store at the NCAC Scout Shops in Bethesda and Springfield.  Uniforms and other scout supplies are also available online at www.scoutstuff.org.  The Pack does occasionally have used uniforms for exchange to those that need them.  Anyone having outgrown uniforms are welcome to donate them to this exchange. The Pack t-shirt (Class B) uniform is available for sale at registration and the first couple pack meetings.  

How much does it cost to join Pack 160?

Fees cover Boy Scouts of America registration fees plus support of the Pack throughout the year (advancement, patches, activities, special events, etc.).  If payment is a problem for your family, please be aware that assistance is available.  Each new and returning scout registered with Pack 160 pays $50 in annual dues.  For Tigers, the Pack provides the Tiger program book (other age levels purchase their own books).  If additional scouts from the same family are registered, $5 is deducted from the registration fee of the scouts beyond the first

In addition, Boys Life magazine (with three age-range levels; they will send you the one appropriate for your boy’s age) is $12.00 for a yearly subscription.  Subscription is indicated on the scout’s registration form and should be included in the fees you pay to Pack 160 if you wish your son to receive this excellent magazine.  (note: your first issue should arrive by January)

Each Den determines its own dues based upon its planned activities for the year.
