Please modify the about information below to tell the story of your pack and then delete this message.
Pack 23 has been chartered by the Burlington Congregational Church for over 40 years. About 8 years ago, Pack 23 merged with Pack 431, another cub scout pack in town and has steadily grown to the current size of over 75 cubs.
Pack 23 is one of the largest packs in the Farmington Valley area. Our mission is to provide a quality, year-round program of Cub Scouting activities. Special emphasis is placed on character development, spiritual growth, citizenship and family.
The Cub Scouting program takes place at two levels. Your son will be a part of a den; a small group of boys in the same grade level who meet weekly. All dens, from grades 1 through 5, make up a pack. Once a month, the dens, with their families, are together at the pack meeting, where boys show off the new skills they have learned during the month and are recognized for the badges they have earned. All boys, when they join, earn the Bobcat badge first. Your den leader will show you how.
The Cub Scout pack is made up of all the dens, which meet monthly at the pack meeting, led by the Cubmaster. This is the climax of the monthly den meetings and activities. There are games, skits, songs, ceremonies, and presentations of badges that boys earned during that month. This is where families—not just parents, but siblings, too—can see the achievements of their Cub Scout.
