Welcome to pack 628!

Kids come first

  • Our activities build children’s self esteem

  • Kids have fun learning practical skills and knowledge

  • Lots of recognition of achievement

  • Trips to enjoyable places you might not get to otherwise

  • Meet other families with similar interests

  • Parents and siblings are involved

  • Learn about community

  • Easy participation in high-quality events without doing it all yourself

  • Open to boys and girls Kindergarten - 5th Grade

Meetings

  • Dens usually meet two evenings a month; boys and girls do activities toward requirements for achievement awards

  • Pack meetings are one evening a month, typically the last Wednesday, and feature award recognition and fun activities

​​

What Pack 628 is NOT

  • Militaristic – Kids generally like wearing the Scout uniform.

  • Exclusive – We welcome kids and families of all backgrounds.

  • Particularly Religious – Scouting intentionally embraces all religions of God and offers achievement awards for learning about 25 of the world’s religions.

  • A Day Care – Even if you don’t want to volunteer to lead activities, you are encouraged to attend the meetings and events and be with your son or daughter. Our activities are parent/child oriented

​

Unlike other programs your child might enroll in, Cub Scouting involves the whole family, no matter what size or parental make-up exists in the home. In Lions and Tigers, you are your scout's Adult Partner. In Wolves and Bears, you are Akela, the wise leader of the tribe of Webelos, and the final judge of your scouts efforts. At the Webelos rank, you are the Activity Badge counselors that could help influence a scout's career direction.

​

Throughout the year you may be asked to assist on different committees, and or at different events.

Please volunteer freely, and give of yourself when called upon to help. You will find it a rewarding experience, and one in which you and your scout will remember that you did together.

Announcements, announcements, announcements.

Have you ever heard a windbag,
A windbag, a windbag,
Have you ever heard a windbag.
Well there’s one right now.
Blows this way and that way,
Blows this way and that way,
Have you ever heard a windbag,
Well there’s one right now.

Cub Scouts, Pack 628

New Market, MD

Activities

Pack 628 is dedicated to a lively Cub Scout experience with activities that capture the interest of boys & girls yet are fun for the entire family, including siblings. Our Cub Scouts learn essential skills and enjoyment of outdoor activities, community involvement, personal safety, sports, and the environment. Some of our activities include campouts, Pinewood Derby, Rain Gutter Regatta, BSA Day & Resident Camps, Fishing Derby, and hiking.

​

Why Scouting?

At a time when families have less time than ever; you may be asking yourself why scouting? As a year round program it may seem like an overwhelming commitment at first. School, sports programs and other family commitments (not to mention our electronics) compete for our time daily.

​

Pack 628 firmly believes in the value of the scouting program and it’s ability to help our sons and daughters grow and build valuable skills. Most of our children participate in scouting and sports; our pack is committed to providing an accommodating environment to allow our busy families to meet their wide range of commitments while participating in the scouting program.

In the Scouts BSA program, boys and girls learn through the experiences of camping, hiking, building projects, and community service. Scouting fosters self-esteem, a sense of value and belonging, a sense of accountability, and teamwork.

​

  • Activities

  • Adventure

  • Leadership

  • Fun

  • Team

 

The program builds boys and girls mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. The skills they learn in Scouting help them overcome obstacles and challenges with courage and character throughout their lives.

Give your child a valuable gift by encouraging him to join Boy Scouting today. The time you invest in him today will make a difference in the person he/she becomes tomorrow.
