About Us
What is the Cub Scout Motto, Scout Oath and Scout Law ?
The Cub Scout Motto is
"DO YOUR BEST"
There are 12 points to the Scout Law: Scouts are encouraged to learn how to apply them in their daily lives:
"A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. "
At Scout meetings we practice and recite the Scout Oath:
"On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. "
Our Pack
In 1964, Bob and Mary Fong founded Pack 259 in the Pocket/Greenhaven area to serve the needs for the families of four boys seeking a life in scouting. From those humble beginnings, meeting at what was once "Bear Flag" Elementary School, volunteer leaders of the Pack (parents of our amazing scouts) have persisted through the years; showing our children the importance of serving our community, and living with them the cub scout motto: "Do Your Best."
As a Co-Ed pack, we accept Boys and Girls to join.
Scouts are separated into "Dens" by grade level and follow age appropriate curriculum, go on outings together, and earn the awards according to that rank. All Den activities are attended by parents, one or more of which hold the position of Den Leader.
Once per month, families gather together at "Pack" Meetings to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of the Pack, the Dens, and each individual scout.
Pack meetings are held the third Thursday of every month at 7pm.
Please come out and join us!
Den Meeting times are held on various days and times according to the availability of each Den leader (and the families assigned to that Den).
Dens usually meet twice a month, but switch to once a month over summer.
If you and your Son or Daughter are interested in joining Pack 259, please use the form on the Contact Us page, or email us at 259cubmaster@gmail.com
