For
Boys and their Parents
We are pleased that you are considering joining Cub Scout Pack 91.
It is our hope that you and your son will find your time with the
pack a rewarding and fun experience in which to continue or begin
your Scouting adventure. Cub Scouting starts with Tiger Cubs in Grade
1 and ends with Webelos 2 in 5th grade, at which time your son will
be eligible to continue his Scouting Trail in the Boy Scouts.
About Us
Cub Scout Pack 91 is a multi-cultural pack at Seven Oaks Presbyterian
Church, which has been our charter home for over 30 years. Located
in the Northwestern part of Columbia SC near Whitehall and Irmo, SC,
we draw from neighborhoods in the Seven Oaks Elementary School and
Leaphart Elementary School attendance area, and other schools and
homeschools in the 29210-29212 zip code area. All boys and parents
are welcome in our pack, regardless of religious affiliation. Our
leaders are trained in the Youth Protection policies of the BSA and
many are highly involved in the local Scouting community.
Pack 91 has a Year-Round Cub Scouting program. Any boy who is entering
or is in grades 1-5 can join Pack 91 at any time of year.
We have an active Cub Scout program, with Pack meetings every month,
Den meetings and other experiences throughout the year. We encourage
attendance at as many activities as possible. Some activities can
help the boys advance through the Cub Scout ranks or earn belt loops
and badges.
Throughout the year, each Den takes responsibility for a Pack meeting.
This is your Pack, and taking responsibility to run it will allow
both boys and parents to fully participate in scouting ideals. The
Cubmaster often provides the theme for the meeting, and District
Roundtables can supply plenty of ideas for activities.
We want parents to be active as well! We have numerous positions
available, ranging from a once-a-year commitment, to Den Leader
to Pack administration. We have a Pack Committee made up of leaders
and other adults, and that is always open to parents that usually
meets on the third Sunday of the month to discuss and plans
events and the fund raising necessary to help the pack go and to
support the plans made by Den leaders.
We encourage parents to consider a role in which they can best
use their talents and skills (i.e., Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmaster,
Committee Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Fund raising, Advancement,
Activities Chairs or as an assistant to a position). And not to
worry, there are plenty of training classes to help you along if
you feel don't know what to do. Remember, all of the current adult
leaders started out where you are - so just jump right up and ask
the Cubmaster or another leader how you can help. And parents -
don't tell the scouts - but sometimes we have as much or more fun
than the boys do.
Multi-Age Fun!
We work closely with BSA
Troop 91 as our boys continue on the Scouting Trail.
