Welcome to the homepage of Cub Scout Pack 8! We are based out of the First United Methodist Church in New Port Richey, Fl. We meet Tuesday nights at 7:00PM during the School year and we also have special events during the summer. .

Cub Scouts are for boys and girls in Kindergarten-5th grade. The scouts are put into small groups in their same grade, these groups are called Dens. Kindergarten are Lion Scouts and do everything with a parent partner. 1st graders are Tiger Scouts and also do everything with a parent partner. In 2nd grade they move to Wolf Scouts and 3rd graders are Bear Scouts. In 4th grade and the first half of 5th grade they become Webelos Scouts. Webelos is an acronym for "WE'll Be LOyal Scouts!" and is a transition period for Cubs Scouts who wish to become Boy Scouts.

During this last year and a half, scouts have a chance to earn activity badges similar to the Merit Badges they will earn in Boy Scouts and they also start going camping a lot more and doing more with the Boy Scouts. They reach the pinnacle of Cub Scouts when they earn the Arrow of Light Award. The Arrow of Light is one of the only awards in Cub Scouting that may be worn on a Boy Scout's uniform. When a scout becomes an adult, they may wear a special "knot" award that goes above their pocket showing that they earned the Arrow of Light. It is truly the Cub Scout's version of being an Eagle Scout.

If you would like to get your child involved in our Pack we would love to have you join our group. For more information or questions, please send an email to Pack 8 and we will respond as quickly as time allows. We also have a private Facebook page that requires leader approval to access.
