Walhalla, South Carolina

Scouting starts here in Walhalla.

Pack 145 welcomes Cub Scouts in kindergarten through 5th grade. Troop 45 helps middle and high school youth grow through camping, service, practical skills, and youth leadership.

Across both programs, scouts are expected to contribute through program participation and approved fundraisers, while parents are clear partners in attendance and communication.

Meeting Times

Start with the weekly rhythm.

Plan a first visit

Meeting night matters before a family commits. These are the normal weekly meeting patterns; leaders can confirm holiday changes, special activities, and first-visit details after an inquiry.

Start Here

Clear public guidance, without moving the whole unit online.

This public site explains the programs, highlights curated events, and gives families durable guidance. Day-to-day communication and unit-specific updates happen in the appropriate Pack or Troop Band group after signup.

For Pack families this is a family-led entry point; for Troop families it is a program where scouts grow toward independence while parents stay informed and support through transportation, leadership, committee service, and communication.
