Newark Pack 145


We meet every Monday at 6:30 pm at the Neal Avenue United Methodist Church at 12 Neal Avenue, Newark, Ohio.

Who We Are


Our goal is to provide an opportunity for your boys to experience the things in life that they might not otherwise experience on their own.  Sometimes these activities may be something your son may continue throughout his lifetime.  Your son is joining more than 2 million other boys in the United States for a family-oriented program where parents, leaders and organizations work together to achieve the 10 purposes of Cub Scouting: character development, spiritual growth, good citizenship, sportsmanship and fitness, family understanding, respected relationships, personal achievement, friendly service, fun and adventure, and preparation for Boy Scouts.  Pack 145 uses seven specific methods to achieve our aim of helping boys to build character, train in the responsibilities of citizenship, and develop personal fitness.  The seven methods are: the ideals, the Den, advancement, family involvement, activities, home and neighborhood centered, and the uniform.  This may seem like a lot, but it becomes clear when you see how we implement our program.

Dens


The Dens are comprised of boys of the same grade working on the same advancements.  The boys move along together as Dens to the next advancement level at the end of the school year.   Boys do not have to complete previous advancements to join or move on to the next advancement level.  Tiger Dens are for boys in the first grade. Wolf Dens are for boys in the second grade.  Bear Dens are for boys in the third grade. Webelos I Dens are for boys in the fourth grade. Webelos II Dens are for boys in the fifth grade. 
 
Den meetings are led by one or two volunteer adult leaders that have received leadership training.  Dens function effectively when there is an active parent involvement which ensures a continued quality program.  We parents are the primary role models for our boys.  The Leaders may be assisted by Boy Scouts (called Den Chiefs) who will be at least 2 years older than the Cub Scouts in the Den.  Den meetings focus on planned activities which allow the Scout to earn awards towards advancement.  It would not be unusual for the Den to visit other locations during the Den meeting such as Town Hall, Police or Fire Departments, local Food Pantry, a pizza parlor, or an auto body shop to name a few. 
 
Den dues are nominal and are collected at the meetings which allow each Den to provide materials for their meetings and may fund a Den social at the end of the year.  Uniforms are worn at every Den function.

Cub Scout Uniform


The Scout uniform is worn at all Pack and Den events.  Wearing the uniform encourages a neat appearance, a sense of belonging, and good behavior.  There are a couple of different places to purchase uniforms, and some second hand ones available through the Pack: speak to a Den Leader, the Cubmaster, Pack Committee Chair, or any adult leader for more information.

Pack Committee


Every pack is under the supervision of a pack committee, which consists of at least three members (chair, secretary, and treasurer). By handling administrative and support tasks, the pack committee allows the Cubmaster, den leaders, and their assistants to focus on working directly with the Cub Scouts
