THANKS FOR VISITING PACK 684

Thank you for visiting the Pack 684 website! 

What differentiates us from the other outstanding Packs?  We are an active Pack characterized by fun, creativity, servant leadership, purpose, organization, and a sense of family.  The largest Pack in the District (approximately 88 scouts out of 1,000 in the District) but with a small town feel; 1 in every 4 eligible boys at Sangster Elementary School is in Pack 684.  Our size provides a level of adult activism that is hard to beat.  We are not only active in our own Pack but helped lead District activities including the District Pinewood Derby, Springfield Scouting Expo, and District Roundtables.  One of our adults won a distinguished District award for his role in these and other Pack activities.  The Pack is consistently distinguished with the highest unit award.  See also the attached annual assessment where our families rate the Pack. 

We are also pleased to have a partnering relationship with Pack 1501 that services scouts with special needs.  Through this relationship, we occassionally do joint activities. 

Eligible boys may join Pack 684 at any time by contacting our Recruitment Chair, Allyson Walton, via e-mail at "allysonwalton@gmail.com". Other points of contact include our Committee Chair Dave Berchtold via "bsa.berchtold@gmail.com" or our Cubmaster Bill Peyton via "wmpeyton@cox.net".

You might find the other attachments useful as well such as "About Us", "Cub Scout Basics", and "Cub Scout Levels" in the menu to the left.  You might also wish to go to "https://beascout.scouting.org/".  The photos of sample Pack activities attached may take a few moments to open.  If you're considering scouting, we would welcome the opportunity to have you join us for an outing and see who we are and what we do.

CAKES AND FLASHLIGHTS

Posted on Jan 26 2012 - 9:41pm

We've moved the Friends of Four cake auction to the Blue and Gold. Every family is asked to bring an elaborate decorated cake or other dessert to the B&G and to bring it in a container that you can expect to go home to another family in the Pack. We're hopeful every family will come prepared to spend about $10 - $15 that night on any combination of raffle tickets (for desserts), cake/dessert purchases, or donations. ANYONE WHO CONTRIBUTES AT LEAST ONE DOLLAR SUPPOSEDLY WILL GET A FLASHLIGHT PROVIDED BY THE COUNCIL. We'll have some system in place to know who donated what funds so we can keep track of who gets flash lights.

Calling all photographers...

Posted on Jan 23 2012 - 5:37pm

I know you are out there...I've seen you at pack events taking pictures. Now I'd like you to share those photos with the rest of the pack.

I've updated the Photo Albums with all the pictures that have been submitted. Thing is I know that some great picture of pack meetings, den meeting and den trips are still out there. Please send your photos to me (including the name of the event) so that I can add them to the website...as well as include them in upcoming slide shows. And feel free to continue to send them to me throughout the rest of the year.
