About Pack 549

Pack 549 serves approximately 40-50 of Verona's finest future citizens through the Boys Scouts of America's Cub Scouting program. Pack 549 is part of Glaciers Edge Council. The boys range from ages 6 through 11, and work through age-appropriate rank activities in smaller groups called Dens to attain rank as Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos I and Webelos II scouts. Pack meetings are generally held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at Glacier Edge Elementary School in Verona, at 6:30 pm. Scouts are awarded rank advancement and major awards at these meetings. In addition Pack to meetings, each scout meets with his Den at least once, and sometimes more frequently during the month, to work on achievements and electives to earn rank. Advancement toward rank is recognized in the Den meetings. Boys need to wear their Class A uniform at pack meetings. They are encouraged to wear either Class A or Class B uniforms, as appropriate to their Den meetings (Class B uniforms are Verona Scouts 'T' shirt purchased from the Pack). All scout units are chartered by a supporting organization. Pack 549 is chartered by the Salem United Church of Christ, Verona, WI at Salem United Church of Christ. Join Cub Scouts!
