Our pack is made up of scouts and adult volunteers serving the Northshore area. Our families come from the Arrowhead Elementary, Moorlands Elementary, and Kenmore Elementary areas. You do not have to attend these schools to be part of our pack! We also welcome those families in private and/or home schooled.
Youth entering (or enrolled in) the K-5 grade levels are welcome to join. We are a co-ed family pack and have dens for boys and girls each elementary grade level! Scouts runs solely on adult volunteer participation. Without it, dens cannot form, and Pack 564 cannot provide a quality program to the youth.
We provide a year-round set of activities to help engage our youth, including regular meetings, camping, hiking, community service events, and fun local adventures.
Camping - Our pack provides twice a year camping for the Scout's entire family. We will provide a camping location, food, and fun. You just need to bring yourself, a tent, sleeping bags, and your own basics, and we'll help with the rest.
Hiking - In Cub Scouts we work to provide multiple age-appropriate hiking adventures per year. For example, our younger Lions may only be able to hike 1-2 miles a day at most, while our older Webelos can hike many more miles. All hikes are day-hikes. We have a hiking program where scouts can earn a hiking stick for completing a total of 10 miles with either the pack or their den. For every 10 miles after they can earn an doodad to add to their stick.
Community Service - Part of Scouting is giving back to our community selflessly. We are grateful for our community and look to improve it. Our pack regularly does service projects at Rhododendron Park in Kenmore, WA. We also help support our charter sponsor Norwest Youth Fund by helping with a yearly service project. Some of our scouts spend time during the holidays bringing Christmas spirit to a local senior center with caroling. Other events occur as opportunity arises.
Fun Adventures - Every year we try to provide additional adventures. We have a yearly organized biking event, explore Corn Mazes, go fishing, and do other fun activities.
As a Cub Scout member, you will generally meet twice per month:
Pack Meetings - These meetings involve all scouts from all dens. It's a chance for us to educate and enrich the scouts lives in a large group setting. We have activities that tou.ch on culture, community, safety, life skills, and sometimes just fun! See our Calendar page for the next upcoming date! This is a great event to get started with Scouting!
Den Meetings - Den meetings are where each rank (grade level) meets in a smaller setting. Dens may meet in a park, at the den leader's home, or at locations related to the planned activity (e.g. fire station, park, zoo, etc.). Groups work in age appropriate content using the syllabus that is established by Scouting BSA.
At all events, we expect parents/guardians to attend and participate. We do not provide "drop off" service. This allows the scout to have a comfortable place, provides you the ability to help influence and guide the scouting experience, and helps build stronger family bonds.
All of our dens are co-ed. Dens meet locally in small groups of scouts in the same grade. Your youth will build lasting friendships within their school and with others from local schools. Since our schools feed into Northshore Middle School in 6th Grade your scout will have even more friends when they get to middle school!
Lions - Kindergarten
Tigers - 1st Grade
Wolves - 2nd Grade
Bears - 3rd Grade
Webelos - 4th Grade
