Welcome!
This is the Cub Scouts Pack 998 Website! Pack 998 is a Family Pack which includes boys and girls. We want all Scouts, Parents and Leaders to find the answers to their questions about activities, advancement, meetings and overall Scouting here....let us know what you are looking for and we will "Do Our Best" to add it to the site!
Cub Scout Pack 998 was first chartered in 2005 and since then; it has grown into a strong and positive part of the community. Today, the pack still honors the finest in scouting traditions by continuing to provide a structured and varied scouting program that has something fun and exciting for every boy who joins the pack.
What is Cub Scouting?
Cub Scouting is a year-round program following the public school schedule. Uniquely designed to meet the needs
of young boys, girls and their parents. The program offers fun and challenging
activities that promote character development and physical fitness.
Service projects, ceremonies, games, and other activities guide scouts
through the core values and give them a sense of personal achievement.
Through positive peer group interaction and parental guidance, they also
learn honesty, bravery, and respect. Family involvement is an
essential part of Cub Scouting and parents are encouraged to play an
active role in the program. Through interaction between parents,
leaders, and friends, scouts learn citizenship, compassion, and courage.
This family-and community-centered approach to learning means that Cub
Scouting is truly time well spent.

More Frequently Asked Questions
- How often are the meetings?
- Cub Scouts usually meet in their Dens weekly,
and a Pack meeting is held for all Cub Scouts and their families once a
month. Beyond that, it depends on the Den and Pack: a Den may hold a
special activity, such as a service project or visit to a local museum
in place of one of the weekly meetings or in addition to the weekly
meetings. Likewise, the Pack may conduct a special event such as a
rocket launch, campout, or service activity as an additional event,
rather than a substitute for its monthly Pack meeting.
- How can I learn more?
- The best way to learn about what a Cub Scout really does is to
talk with a Cub Scout who is engaged in the program. Alternatively, you
can learn more about the Cub Scout program by selecting "Contact Our Pack" (above) and asking questions, or leave your phone number to
receive a call from the Cubmaster.
