Welcome to Pack 1127

Cub Scouting means “doing.”

Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things.

 

Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Many of the activities happen right in the den and pack. The most important are the weekly den meetings and the monthly pack meetings.

Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and contribute to a boy’s sense of belonging.

To get started, you’ll need to get your son a uniform. Our Pack supplies the neckerchief, slide and rank book. You will need to supply the uniform shirt and patches. First through third grade wear the blue uniform shirt with the red numerals. Fourth and fifth graders wear the tan shirt with the olive numerals. All boys will wear the world crest patch, den patch, and pack numerals. The Denver area Scout shop will be more than happy to help walk you through your purchases. They are located at:

10455 West 6th Avenue, Suite 125, Denver 80215

303.477.4830

Items can also be ordered at www.scoutstuff.org.

Your son will be assigned to a den. We will make every effort to assign friends in the same den. We will TRY, but we cannot PROMISE that your son will be assigned to a particular den.

Once your paperwork has been processed, you will receive 2 emails: one from ScoutTrack.com, and one from ScoutLander. The ScoutTrack site is to record all of your son’s achievements. We work based on the honor system; if you sign off that your son has done a particular task, we will assume that he has actually done the work involved. For Webelos Scouts, the program is intended to get the boys ready for Boy Scouts and parents will not be allowed to sign off on any tasks. The boys must present their work to their den leader in order to be checked off. The ScoutLander site is our communications. We post activities, notices etc. The site has both public and private parts to it. You can only see the  private part if you are an active member of our Pack.

One last piece of information. This pack is run entirely on volunteers. They all work, have busy lives, and children just like you do. Please pitch in! Many hands make light work and you’ll have more fun and make more friends than you thought!

Sincerely,

Shaun Kelley

One Hundred Scouts
Of any one hundred boys who become Scouts, it must be confessed that thirty will drop out in their first year. Perhaps this may be regarded as a failure, but in later life all of these will remember that had been Scouts and will speak well of the program. 

Of the one hundred, only rarely will one ever appear before a juvenile court judge. Twelve of the one hundred will be from families that belong to no church. Through Scouting, these twelve and many of their families will be brought into contact with a church and will continue to be active all their lives. Six of the one hundred will become pastors. 

Each of the one hundred will learn something from Scouting. Almost all will develop hobbies that will add interest throughout the rest of their lives. Approximately one-half will serve in the military, and in varying degree profit from their Scout training. At least one will use it to save another person's life and many will credit it with saving their own. 

Four of the one hundred will reach Eagle rank, and at least one will later say that he valued his Eagle above his college degree. Many will find their future vocation through merit badge work and Scouting contacts. Seventeen of the one hundred boys will later become Scout leaders and will give leadership to thousands of additional boys. 

Only one in four boys in America will become Scouts, but it is interesting to know that of the leaders in this nation in business, religion and politics, three out of four were Scouts. 

This story will never end. Like the "Golden Pebble" of service dropped into the human sea it will continue to radiate in ever-widening circles, influencing the characters of men down through unending time.

Scouting's Bottom Line
Scouting's alumni record is equally impressive. A recent nation- wide survey of high schools revealed the following information:

  • 85% of student council presidents were Scouts 
  • 89% of senior class presidents were Scouts 
  • 80% of junior class presidents were Scouts 
  • 75% of school publication editors were Scouts 
  • 71% of football captains were Scouts 

Scouts also account for:
  • 64% of Air Force Academy graduates 
  • 68% of West Point graduates 
  • 70% of Annapolis graduates 
  • 72% of Rhodes Scholars 
  • 85% of F.B.I. agents 
  • 26 of the first 29 astronauts
