How often are the meetings?
Cub Scouts usually meet in their Dens once a week and a Pack meeting is held for all Cub Scouts and their families once a month. Beyond that, it depends on the Den and Pack: a Den may hold a special activity, such as a service project or visit to a local museum in place of one of the weekly meetings or in addition to the weekly meetings. Likewise, the Pack may conduct a special event such as a, campout, or service activity as an additional event, rather than a substitute for its monthly Pack meeting.

We do have outings and some activities that we do fundraising for to keep our out of pocket costs to a minimum. For example, camping, fishing trips, duck game etc.

How can I learn more?

The best way to learn about what a Cub Scout really does is to talk with a Cub Scout who is engaged in the program. Alternatively, you can learn more about the Cub Scout program by contacting our Cub Master Lisa Nappi  (631-281-2038) and asking questions, or you can come and visit us at Grace Lutheran Church on Tuesday nights at 7:00 pm.

*Please note if there is no school, there is no scouts! Also our summer program hours vary.

How much is it going to cost?

The cost varies from Pack to Pack. We at Pack 138 charge a one time registration fee of $35.00. This includes Boys Life magazine subscription, insurance, registration as well as your first den book. We also ask for a small monthly due of $10.00 per scout.The dues are collected and used to provide the belt loops, rank patches as well as other achievements and activities.

What does Cub Scouting offer my son?
Cub Scouting offers fun and challenging activities that promote character development and physical fitness. Service projects, ceremonies, games, and other activities guide boys through the core values and give them a sense of personal achievement. Through positive peer group interaction and parental guidance, boys also learn honesty, bravery, and respect and much much more!

How does participation in Cub Scouting affect participation other activities?
The Cub Scout program is designed to compliment many other extracurricular activities. Typical time commitment is every week for  Den meetings and one Pack meeting per month. Boys who participate in organized sports like soccer, baseball, basketball, swimming, gymnastics, etc, or academic-based extracurricular activities like music, art, science etc., can be recognized for these activities though Cub Scout belt loops and pins which are worn on their uniform.
