Pack 13 Pack 19 Pack 81 Pack 82 Pack 83 Pack 84 Pack 85 Pack 90 Pack 91 Pack 99 Plainfield Area I want to join Cub Scouts!
So how do I pick a Pack?

The great news is that there are many Plainfield Packs for you to choose from. Below is their information. You should consider the following questions when choosing which Pack you'd like to join:
  1. When does the Pack meet? You'll be attending a Pack meeting once a month, so you'll want a Pack that meets on a day of the week that is good for your family schedule.

  2. Where does the Pack meet? Pick a Pack that meets in a location that is good for you. The Pack you choose is up to you. It does not matter which school your son attends, where you live or where you choose to worship.

  3. What is the Pack like? Even though each Pack offers the same basic program of scouting, each Pack plans different activities and has its own "personality." What makes each Pack unique is the group of scouts, parents, volunteers and leaders that make up their membership. Take an opportunity to talk with the leaders and/or visit the Pack.
