Cub Scouts Pack 8 Charlotte Mecklenburg

Parent and prospective scouts...
Join us at St. Matthews Catholic Church in the Parish Center Family Room to learn more about all of the amazing things Pack 8 does to help make scouting come alive for your scout! There will be an on-going presentation to provide you information about how to get your son involved as a scout and help you, the parent with registration. You might even find an opportunity to become involved as a volunteer in one of our nation's best institutions.

Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 8! Whether you are new to Cub Scouting or a seasoned veteran, here's all the information you need to be a part of the fun-filled adventure that is Scouting! You aren't just a part of an organization, you are part of a community!

To get started, you'll want to:

The 2011 Graduation ceremony was a great success!! 82 Scouts participated with a crowd of 168 wellwishers to witness their sons advanced to the next Scout rank with the aid of the fantastic "Chronographic Transmorgifier"!!

Congratulations to all who advanced! Watch the video!

A reminder to any parents who wish to have the Professor use the transmorgifier to have their sons skip their teenage years that we take all major credit cards!

Pack 8 just earned its qualification for the Pope Paul VI Catholic Quality Unit Award - this award recognizes achievement by the Pack through more than 25% of Cub Scouts earning their corresponding religious award & knot, adherence to Diocesian and BSA leadership and training requirements, performing service projects for its chartering Church & community, participation in religous activities, and learning about church-related vocations. Those Cub Scouts who have earned their religious award and/or knot are entitled to wear the National Catholic Quality Unit Award patch - great job, Pack 8!
