The pack meets once a month as a large group. Each boy in the pack is assigned to a den. Our dens meet twice a month. We have 40 to 50 boys in our pack; each den has been between 5 and 10 boys. Tiger scouts, being first graders, are the youngest. Second graders are Wolves, third graders are Bears, and fourth and fifth graders are Webelos. Pack 1572 has dedicated den leaders who lead the individual den meetings.
In addition to having fun, our scouts also serve the community with an annual food drive and participating in community events such as the Potomac river cleanup and other service projects.
Our families and leaders emphasize the Cub Scout promise, the law of the pack, and the twelve core values of Scouting. Our den leaders have completed the youth protection training offered by the BSA and the VIRTUS Protecting God’s Children program required by the Catholic Church.
Cub Scout Pack 1572 is sponsored by St. Mary's Catholic Church of Piscataway, MD.
