Become a Scout Pack 145
Pack 145 is the starting point for younger scouts, with family-centered meetings, simple outdoor adventures, service, advancement, and age-based dens.
Scouts learn early to help support their own participation through small unit fundraisers, typically with family-sized support events and guidance from leaders.
Joining Pack 145
When We Meet
Pack 145 meets at St. Luke UMC in Walhalla. Leaders can confirm special-event changes before your first visit.
Cub Scouts is designed for families to participate together. Parents and guardians help youth learn by doing, from simple hikes and crafts to pinewood derby, service projects, and campouts.
Parent presence is expected and encouraged; for Cub Scouts, we focus on building a family team, not a drop-off model.
This section collects public pack resources, welcome materials, and high-level event information. After a family joins, the Cubmaster will invite parents to the Pack 145 Band group for routine communication and private updates.
