Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 268's Website!!


      Welcome and we hope that you'll find this website for our Pack to be very informational.  We are a medium sized group of boys and meet at St. Philip of the Apostle Church located at 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster Pa. every Tuesday evening from 6:30 to 7:30pm.  Cub Scouts are further divided into smaller groups called "Dens".  More about each Den can be found at the "Dens by Grade" link on the left side of this page.
  • 1st Grade boys are called "Tiger" scouts.
  • 2nd Grade boys are "Wolf" scouts.
  • 3rd Grade boys are "Bear" scouts.
  • 4th Grade boys are "WEBELOS 1" scouts
  • 5th Grade boys are "WEBELOS 2" scouts

     If you are new to scouting or are just looking up some information, I hope this website will be helpful.  If you are interested in joining us, see the link "Want to Join" to the left.  You will be asked for some basic questions on where you live and it'll give you information on the Packs and Troops nearest to you.


Den Assignments:

If you have questions about what group your son(s) belong to, "click here". This web page should answer any questions you have about the den your son(s) will be assigned to and what the differences are with each of the dens.

 

Pack Calendar:

Our scouts meet every Tuesday night from 6:30 - 7:30 pm during the "School Year".  On the last Tuesday of each month, we all meet for "Pack Meetings".  This is the time when awards are given out and boys get to tell what they did and learned for the last month.  Please check the website often since events due to change according to weather and other factors.  The Pack and Council Calendars can be found by "clicking here".



Registration Costs and Dues:

Every new scout or adult leader of Pack 268 must complete an application form.  These will be provided upon request.  For adults that wish to register as leaders, there is no cost to you.  The Pack pays for the processing fee since you are graciously donating you time.

As for new scouts, here is a breakdown of the registration fees.  Please understand that this is a one time cost to you.  When the pack recharters every Feb., our sponsor organization, The Men's Club of St. Philips, pays for your son's membership renewal.

  • Registration Fee for 1 year - $24.00
  • BSA Insurance for 1 year - $5.00
  • Boys Life Subscription for 1 year - $12 (Optional)

Total: $29.00 due at time application is submitted

     Den Dues are $25 for the year and this money is used just for the boys in your son's Den.  It covers activities, crafts, refreshments, etc..  None of the Registration fees stay with the Pack. It all goes to National.  Dues are to be paid when you can but are absolutely required by Dec. 31st.


 

Uniforms:

     The scouts of Pack 268 are strongly urged to wear the top half of the appropriate "Scout Uniforms" for the den to which they assigned but it is not mandatory or immediately needed.  The most important item to purchase for your scout is the handbook for his den.  This has all of the requirements they will need to earn badges and awards.  You will find everything that is required for the boys as well as the current costs.  Uniforms as well as handbooks and other accessories can be purchased at the local "Scout Store" located at 630 Janet Ave. Lancaster Pa. 17601.  It is beside Lancaster Catholic HS.
