Pack 145 is a thriving, active Cub Scout pack in West Hartford, CT. We are charted by the Bugbee School PTO, but we are open to all boys and girls in grades K-5. We actively recruit at the Morley, Braeburn, and other area schools.
Like all Cub Scout packs, we divide out scouts into grade-specific units called 'dens'. Each scout is active in both their pack and den. The pack meets monthly on the second Wednesday (except when impacted by school holidays) and goes on at least one outing or overnight adventure each month. Likewise, each den will have a den-specific meeting each month, and goes on a den trip or outing most months. Over the course of a year, the Pack will:
- Hike to Heublein Tower
- Camp overnight at Winding Trails
- Go bowling as a pack
- Build and race Pinewood Derby cars
- Build and launch model rockets
- Go on pack bike rides
- Attend a Yard Goats and/or Wolf Pack game
- Go fishing as a pack
- Learn from community members such as veterans, first responders, public works, garden clubs, and more
- March in the Memorial Day parade
- Volunteer at community events
- End the year at our family campout.
Dens may (depending on the age of the scouts):
- Go on camping trips of their own,
- Go on nature hikes,
- Complete building and crafting projects,
- Visit a TV station, fire station, or police station,
- Design and play their own new sport,
- Put on a carnival for the rest of the pack,
and other fun things!
All of our meetings are open to the public, and we invite you to come join us! For more information, please get in touch through the site or email whcubscoutpack145@gmail.com.
