JOIN PACK 62

Three easy steps — and the first one is optional. If you'd rather just show up on a Wednesday and see a meeting first, do that. Families are welcome any week.

1

SAY HELLO

Email cubmaster@cubpack62.org or drop in on a Wednesday meeting, 6:00–7:30 PM at Lithia Springs Methodist Church. We'll answer questions, introduce you to your Scout's den, and walk you through everything below.

COME TO YOUR FIRST MEETING

A parent or guardian stays for every meeting — it's a safety standard and part of how Cub Scouting works. No uniform needed on day one; when you're ready, start with the official Cub Scout shirt. More on uniforms here.

Nothing to bring, nothing to prepare — meet in the Children's Building at the church, park in the main lot, and someone at the door will point you to the right room. Shortly after you join, we'll ask you to fill out a quick family talent survey — every family helps somewhere, and it tells us what you'd enjoy.

BRING
  • A parent or guardian
  • Your Scout
  • Any questions you have
DON'T WORRY ABOUT
  • A uniform
  • Prior experience
  • Knowing Scout terms
  • Paying before you talk to us
Bobcat rank insignia

EVERY SCOUT STARTS WITH BOBCAT

All new Cub Scouts earn the Bobcat rank first — a quick introduction to the foundations of Scouting: the Scout Oath & Law, the Scout salute & handshake, and the motto — "Do Your Best!"

Once they've got Bobcat, Scouts move into their grade-level den and start working on rank adventures. See the dens and ranks →

WORDS YOU'LL HEAR

Scouting has its own vocabulary, and nobody explains it to new families. Here's the short version:

Den

A small group of Scouts in the same grade. Your Scout's home base — most weeks are den meetings.

Pack

All the dens together — that's us, Pack 62. Once a month everyone meets as a pack for events and awards.

Rank & adventures

Each grade works toward one rank (Lion through Arrow of Light) by completing hands-on activities called adventures.

Cubmaster & den leaders

Trained parent volunteers. The Cubmaster runs pack meetings; den leaders run your Scout's den.

Council & charter org

We belong to the Atlanta Area Council (our regional Scouting America office) and are sponsored by Lithia Springs Methodist Church.

Scoutbook

The official app where advancement is tracked. You'll get access after registering — leaders record most of it for you.

QUESTIONS FIRST? TOTALLY NORMAL.
