» It's never too late...
It's never too late to join Pack 172 and we always have spots available for 1st through 5th grade boys. In addition, every May we invite Kindergarteners to join the Pack for our summertime activities. This is a great opportunity for these boys to get a head start on their Scouting experiences.

To foster friendships, each boy is assigned to small group, called Dens, of 4-8 scouts of the same age.

Tiger Cub Fun Day @ McGimsey

Want to learn some Knots?

Our Webelos met last night to start learning some of the knots they will need as young Boy Scouts - is your Scout interested?  We found a great site:

http://www.animatedknots.com

click on "Scouting."  The site walks you through the steps to make the common knots.  Webelos should learn the Square, Bowline, Clove Hitch, Two Half-Hitches and the Taught Line.

Respect

Respect: Showing regard for the worth of someone or something. Respect is something we should all practice every day. We should strive to be respectful of others, of our surroundings, in what we say and do, and most of all we should have respect for ourselves. Cub Scouts will learn that if they are respectful of others, others will respect them.


Let's Celebrate our Scouts' Accomplishments!
Has your Scout won an award, done well in school or done a good deed?  We want to hear about it!  Cubbies corner will add a new feature where we celebrate all the positive things our Scouts are doing.   Please email committeechair@cubscoutpack172.com.  We will post them and we may have something special at the Pack meetings!
