Pack 156 has been an active Pack in Flanders (Mount Olive) for over 50 years! Our Chartered Organization is the Flanders Firehouse. Our Pack Leadership is dedicated to providing an exceptional program to the Scouts and families of Pack 156. Some of our Leaders have been in the Pack for many years, former Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, and some are new to Scouting and have immersed themselves in the values and ideals of Scouting. All of our Leaders strive to shape our Scouts into well rounded citizens who live their lives by the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.
Our Pack meets the second Friday each month from September to June which includes all the dens. Dens are organized by ranks, which are based on grades: Lions - Kindergarten, Tigers - 1st, Wolves - 2nd, Bears - 3rd, Webelos - 4th and Arrow of Light - 5th. Scouts work on the requirements for their current rank at the den meetings. The majority of our dens meet 2 times a month. All dens come together at the monthly Pack meetings, where we have fun activities, acknowledge awards earned, and discuss upcoming events. We camp out at least 2 times a year, we do many service projects for local organizations, we go hiking and plan many fun events as a Pack throughout the year.
To join our Pack, families need to complete a Youth Application and pay dues. Our Pack also requires families to complete a Photo Release Form, Family Talent Survey form and a Scouts BSA Health Form. All of these documents can be found on our Documents page. The Youth Application can be filled out online, or a paper copy can be completed and handed in at a Pack meeting.
