Leave this world a little better than you found it.

Pack Activities
Cub Scouts is a welcoming, hands-on environment where children build friendships, discover their strengths, and develop confidence. The program gives children opportunities to step away from screens and experience authentic challenges, accomplishments, and connections.
Pack and Den Meetings
In den meetings and pack meetings, Cub Scouts make new friends, play purposeful games, and learn new things. Dens usually meet two times a month. All the dens in the pack come together once a month for a pack meeting.
Camping and Outdoor Adventures
Cub Scout families have opportunities to go camping and to participate in outdoor adventures. Lessons learned in the out-of- doors help to develop a life-long respect for the environment.
Popcorn Sales Fundraisers
Pack 1601 participates in Trail's End's fundraising program in the Fall through storefront, online and door-to-door wagon sales. Our scouts get their first taste of entrepreneurship to help fund our pack's activities.
Service Projects
At the heart of what we do is giving back to our community through service projects such our annual food donation drive, holiday toy donation drive and our Trash the Trash day where our scouts learn the value of being of service to others and their surroundings.
Raingutter Regatta & Pinewood Derby
Our scouts get hands-on opportunities to build and design their own race cars and boats, engage in some friendly competition with their fellow denmates. These events also serve as a great bonding opportunity between parents and their children.
Special Events
Pack 1601 plans a variety of other events and activities such as banquets, bowling, laser tag and professional sporting team events.

On the advancement trail, a Cub Scout progresses towards a badge of rank based on their grade. They need not have earned the previous rank in order to earn the next. To earn each badge of rank a Cub Scout earns the six required Adventures and at least two elective Adventures. Required Adventures are based on the aims and areas of importance in Scouting.
