Thank you for visiting the Pack 684 website!
What differentiates us from the other outstanding Packs executing BSA aims to develop scouts character, citizen, and personal fitness...PREPARING BOYS FOR LIFE? 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 90 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. We have scouts from Newington Forest and local private schools as well. 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. We have leaders that serve as District Unit Commissioners. 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".
