Welcome to Pack 2!

Parents of young boys face a lot of choices in after-school activities. Boys want to have fun, while parents want them to learn positive values and skills that will last a lifetime.

Cub Scouting involves a variety of family activities, encourages good behavior, teaches lifelong values, and strengthens the bonds of family.

Our Pack is sponsored by St. Joseph’s Church and meets once a month in the St. Joseph School Cafeteria.   Dens generally meet twice a month and work on fun activities for rank and awards. In addition, our pack actively schedules exciting events as a group through out the year.

If your son is about to enter first through fifth grade, and you like what you see on our website, Cub Scout Pack Two may be exactly what you’re looking for!!  We love new faces!  MORE...
