Pack 29 is chartered to Auburn United Methodist Church and primarily serves the scouts of Wrights Mill Road School, but is proud to have cub scouts from across Auburn. We are also proud to be a 2004 Quality Unit!
About Pack 29...
Cub
Scouting is fun -fun with a purpose. Cub Scouting
focuses on teaching boys values,
building character, and developing leadership skills - all in the context of fun
and family
togetherness. Cub Scouting allows you to spend time learning and growing with
your son. Cub
Scouting is a family program designed for boys in the first- through fifth grade
that helps give
boys a sense of personal achievement as they advance, learn, and earn badges.
When a boy joins the Cub
Scouts, he will be assigned to a 'den.' A den is a group of six to
eight boys his own age that meet together to learn about good sportsmanship,
good
citizenship, getting along with others, gaining new skills, and how to do their
best. Dens are
part of a larger group called a 'Pack.' Pack meetings, held once a month, are
attended by boys
and their families. This meeting gives parents a chance to see their sons in
action.
Your son may choose any of the
area Cub Scout 'packs' when he becomes a Cub Scout.
Pack 29 has about 60 active boys in Cub Scouts this year, and about 50 of these
boys attend
WMR! Pack 29 is proud of our WMR connection, but we also have boys from all over
the area.
We have families from most of the Auburn elementary schools, Lee-Scott Academy
and boys
who are also home-schooled in our pack.
Pack 29 usually meets on the 1st
Tuesday of each month during the school year from 6:30-
8:00 at the Auburn United Methodist Church Epworth Center. Pack 29 is proud to
have AUMC
as its Chartered Organization (sponsor). The Boy Scouts of America and Pack 29
are nondenominational
and encourage Scouts to actively pursue their own religious beliefs.
In Pack 29, we have dedicated
trained leaders who plan activities. We camp with our families
each fall and spring. Each summer, we take a special overnight trip to a place
like the USS
Alabama Battleship, Chattanooga Aquarium, DeSoto Caverns, or the Atlanta Zoo.
Our monthly
pack meetings are fun, exciting and each year we also host our own pinewood
derby event!
PARENTS: Volunteers, both men and
women, are needed to support the Cub Scout
program! Pack 29 knows that in order to have a strong pack, we need interested
and
dedicated parents! If your son is interested in joining the Cub Scouts, please
consider being a
Cub Scout Leader. Tiger Cubs (first grade) usually meet twice a month, while
Wolf Cubs
(second grade), Bear Cubs (third grade) and Webelos (fourth and fifth grade) den
meetings are usually held once a week. Training and support is provided to all
adult volunteers.
We HAVE FUN!!!
