      Welcome to Pack 31!

Pack 31 is comprised of about 30 boys, mostly from Corl Street and Easterly Parkway Elementary Schools but also from Radio Park, Park Forrest and Gray's Woods.
All boys in first through fifth grade are welcome!
Join at any age.


Our sponsor is St. Paul’s United Methodist Church (no affiliation required to join).

We are part of the Nittany District of the Juniata Valley Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

Cub Scouting emphasizes learning by doing and each rank is tailored to the scout’s age.

Each boy is assigned to a den, consisting of about eight boys in his grade.

Tiger Cubs – 1st Grade
Wolf Cubs – 2nd Grade
Bear Cubs – 3rd Grade
Webelos – 4th and 5th Grade

The dens are led by parents / leaders and usually meet twice a month.


Together, all of the dens make up the pack. The scouts and their families come together for a pack meeting once a month.

Some of the activities we have planned for this year include:

• Pinewood Derby
• Klondike Derby
• Family Campout
• Gettysburg Trip
• Summer Camp

At the pack meeting, scouts are recognized for their achievements. The meeting includes opening and closing flag ceremonies and fun activities related to the monthly theme.


Contact Carolyn Inman or Chris English for more information.
