Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 162, open to ALL children from kindergarten through 5th grade in North Austin! We're centered around the Kathy Caraway Elementary School community, in the Oak Forest neighborhood just west of US Highway 183 and Oak Knoll, with most kids attending Caraway.
Cub Scouting is an organization for everyone! The kids learn life skills, good behavior and have tons of fun at the same time! More information on the scouting program in general is available here: https://about.scouting.org/join-cub-scouts/
The pack's membership usually averages around 60-70 kids, with plenty of adult volunteers serving in positions large and small to help keep the pack running and keep the kids earning belt loops or pins and advancing through the ranks. Scouts participate in den meetings (1-2 times a month), pack meetings (once a month), family campouts (1 in fall and 1 in spring), a winter overnighter (some place you wouldn't expect like the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi or the Perot Children's Museum in Dallas) and various other special fun events, such as the Pinewood Derby in the spring, and service projects through the year.
Cub Scouts is a very low-key, fun activity where kids can make new friends in a non-competitive and supportive environment while learning skills and how to be a good citizen at the same time. Scouts and families can participate as much or as little as they like, as we all have other commitments besides scouting.
