Cub Scout Pack 34

Cub Scouts is a family-based program in which our Scouts have fun, learn skills and build their character, as part of Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America).

We are a large and active pack serving families (both boys and girls) in the general East Denver area. Cub Scouts spans from Kinder thru 5th grade. Our pack welcomes all age-eligible youth -- no matter their gender, culture, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion, ability, family background, or family structure -- who'll "do their best" to follow the Scout Oath and Law. You can learn more about Cub Scouts through the official Aims & Methods, and Family Information Guide.

Meetings and Events

Pack 34 meets at the Bill Roberts Elementary School cafeteria/field at 6:15pm on Monday evenings. The pack meets as large group approximately once a month, and as smaller dens most weeks. Additionally, the pack organizes campouts, service projects, hikes, Pinewood Derby races, and other activities throughout the year.

Upcoming Pack Events

Pack 34 is organized into dens, which are smaller groups of kids organized by grade. Youth can join Cub Scouting at any age.

On the advancement trail, a Cub Scout progresses towards a badge of rank based on their grade, by doing a set of programmed activities, called "adventures".
