Pack 231 Cubs (or other Cub Scouts) participating in the project will complete the “Participate in a conservation project” requirement of their Champions for Nature elective adventure.  Your den leader may count this project toward another service project requirement instead.  

Please take/renew your Youth Protection Training (YPT) for 2024-2025 scout year. Reminder that Chester County Council requires adults renew YPT yearly. Please email completed certificate to ypt@231cubs.com. 

Medical Forms Parts A and B required for all those that will be attending the Spook-O-Ree (scouts, adults, siblings). Bring to the Pack Meeting if you can.  

If you are attending the Spook-O-Ree please review the Program Guide linked below.  If your scout would like to race a car in the Spook-O-Ree Pinewood Derby you must bring the car ready to paint/assemble, all cutting should be performed before the campout. Kits can be found on the internet and Hobby Lobby has ready to paint kits.  

Please review the Pack 231 Packing List as it also includes important information regarding fall/winter camping. 

Activities may include: Blacklight Pinewood Derby, BBs, archery, glow slingshots, a Haunted Pavilion, and several other themed activities. Trunk or Treating also available so bring a costume (but maybe not the one needed later that week). Details can be found here: 2024_SpookORee_Program_Guide.pdf

It is tent camping so if you need any guidance on what gear you may need (tent, sleeping bags, etc), please don't hesitate to ask a Pack Leader. 

The Spook-O-Ree runs from Saturday morning until Sundary morning (October 26-27). 

Please direct any questions to your Den Leader or cubmaster@231cubs.com. 

It is that time of year to pay your 2024-2025 dues.  Please see below for instructions.     

Returning Scouts: Now that we have kicked off the new year it is also time that we ask for returning scouts to pay this year's dues. Please follow the instructions on the Join Pack 231 webpage.  

New Scouts: For new families that are ready to join you have 2 steps, register with Chester County Council and pay your Pack 231 dues. Please follow the instructions on the Join Pack 231 webpage.  

For all Scouting Families: Please take a few minutes and fill out the Family Talent Survey. This doesn't lock you into anything but it helps us know how you might like to help with den or pack activities.
