Join the Pack Night for New Scouts

Interested in Cub Scouts? Join us on September 12th from 6:30 - 8 pm at Glacier Edge Elemntary school in the cafeteria to learn more about Cub Scouts, Pack 549, and sign up your son or daughter!  There will be a short presentation on scouting.  We will have several handouts for families new to scouting and can answer any questions you have about scouting.

Our Pack (scouts in grades K-5) meets once a month during the school year. Our meetings are usually the third Thursday of the month at Glacier Edge Elementary School in the Cafeteria from 6:30 pm - 8 pm.  Our first pack meeting of this school year will be on September 19th.  It's a gathering for scouts, parents, and siblings, with something fun to see or do as a big group.

We split the scouts up into smaller groups, dens, according to their grade in school. The Dens meet an additional 1-2 times a month during the school year and work through the required achievements in their rank books to earn a rank badge by the end of the school year.

Information about Cub Scout Pack 549

Do you know a boy or girl in grades K-5 who is interested in joining Cub Scouts?  If so, we would love to give you some more information about Cub Scouts---specifically Pack 549.

Pack 549 is a Cub Scout Pack for boys and girls in Verona, Wisconsin.  Our Pack (a large group) meets once a month during the school year.  Our meetings are usually the third Thursday of the month at Glacier Edge Elementary School.  We also have den meetings (small groups divided by grade) that meet a couple times a month.  The meeting days/locations vary by den.

In addition to the meetings, our Pack participates in several other activities.  Some examples of things we have done over the years are sleepovers in a WWII submarine, the National Mississippi River Museum/Aquarium, and Lambeau Field, tubing at Cascade Mountain, a daytrip to the EAA museum in Oshkosh, day and overnight camps, and Pinewood Derby races.  There are also opportunities for Scouts to help their communities.

If you want to check out our Pack in person, we invite you to attend our Raingutter Regatta on August 25, 2019 from 3-5 at Tollefson Park.  This will be a great chance for you to meet with current Scout families and leaders and ask questions in a relaxed atmosphere.  You may also contact our Cubmaster Jeff Schwartz or our Committee Chair Christina Pier through email at any time.

Thank you and we hope to meet you soon!

We're still here! :) Pack 549 updates are coming soon.

I'm a new contributer to this page, so this is just a quick "test post."  More information about upcoming events and joining Pack 549 will be posted in the near future.  Please check back soon.  Thanks!
