Public Joining Our Pack - Cub Scout Pack 391 (El Cajon, California)

Welcome to Pack 391's Joining Our Pack Page.
Cub Scouts are for boys and girls, Kindergarten through fifth grade.

Our pack's central geographical area is Rancho San Diego, which covers the eastern parts of the cities of La Mesa and El Cajon, and the unincorporated areas of El Cajon, La Mesa, Jamul and Spring Valley.

We are allowed to actively recruit students from these three elementary schools:
Vista Grande
Rancho San Diego
Jamacha

We are not limited to only having scouts from these schools. While we do not actively recruit from other schools, you may join our pack no matter where you live or which school your child attends. Children from these other elementary/primary schools have joined our pack:
Anza, Avocado, Chase, Christian, Dehesa, Fuerte, Jamul, Meridian, & W.D. Hall

Send an email to the registration coordinator by clicking on the "Contact Our Pack" button at the top of this page to let us know you are thinking about joining. We will get back to you and make arrangements for you to join us.

REQUIRED FORMS TO TURN IN:

Youth Registration Form:

All youth must be registered with the BSA.
Your Pack Registration Chair will handle all registrations with the form you turn in.

Adult Application Form:

All adults registering to be leaders or committee members must fill out an application form and take Youth Protection Training (YPT) online prior to their application being accepted by the council office. You may still turn in your adult application to the Registration Chair without the YPT training. The Registration Chair will hold on to it until a copy of the applicant's YPT certificate is attached. It will then be forwarded to the Council office. All adult applications must approved by the Pack Committee Chairman and the Chartered Organization Representative. Their decisions are final. There must also be an opening in the position desired for the application to be approved and processed.

Annual Health & Medical Form and Medical Insurance Card:

All registered adults and scouts must include an Annual Health & Medical Record Form with their registration fee. This is a BSA requirement. A photocopy of your medical insurance card must be attached to the Annual Health & Medical Record Form. Please use paper clips not staples as we have to remove them to make photocopies.

Pack Guidelines Acknowledgement Form:

At least one parent must sign an acknowledgement that they have read and understand the Pack Guidelines (formerly the Pack By-Laws). These are the rules governing pack operations along with scout, parent, and guest conduct. Acknowledgement forms are valid until the next revision of the Guidelines are published.
