This is
PACK 256

An inclusive Cub Scout Pack for boys and girls
who reside in Portland, OR and love adventure.


Welcome

GRIT STARTS
HERE

We support Cub Scouts from kindergarten through fifth grade
by serving Scouts in the Ainsworth and Chapman catchment.
All are welcome to join.

We separate our Scouts into Dens by age and gender - Lions all the way through Arrow of Light Scouts. These Dens have monthly or bi-monthly meetings, and we also get together once a month as a full Pack. Scouts work on adventures with their Den Leaders, parents, and guardians - always striving to earn the next badge.

Achievements are awarded monthly at the Pack meetings, as we celebrate the hard work each Scout has put in the previous month. We organize both fall and spring overnight campouts and recommend the Scouts take part in a summer camp at one of our Scout-owned properties.

We usually meet during the school months of September - June, then take a few summer months off, except for the week-long summer camp. Once the Scouts have earned their final achievements during 5th grade, we promote them during a Crossover Ceremony, usually into Scouting America Troop 69 or Troop 150.

Thanks for your interest in joining our Pack. It's been an absolute pleasure seeing our boys and girls learn and develop new skills, build lasting friendships, and push themselves harder than they thought possible. We live by the Cub Scout Motto: Do Your Best.
