We are rolling out the welcome mat for you!!!

Welcome to Pack 161!

Thank you for visiting our website. We are excited to share our pack with you .

We meet every Tuesday night from 7-8pm for Den Meetings
Pack meetings are every fourth Tuesday from 7-8 pm

(Due to Covid, meetings are being held using Zoom video conferencing systems.)

Meetings are held at our charter organization:
First Christian Church of Garland
115 S. Glenbrook Dr
Garland, Tx 75040


We are right in the heart of beautiful downtown Garland Tx!

Our mission is to provide a safe place for youth to explore, socialize, and learn about our world through many adventures.

The Scouting program is arranged in dens by grade level.

Lion Kinder
Tiger 1st grade
Wolf 2nd grade
Bear 3rd grade
Webelo (1) 4th grade

Bobcat must be earned first before receiving any rank. This is the introduction to the basics of scouting every youth must know to have a successful time within the program.

Pack 161 has many events that we participate in thorough the year.

Pinewood Derby
Raingutter Regatta
Scout Skills Workshops
Cookouts
Museum visits
Parent and scout training sessions
2 weekend pack wide campouts a year one in the fall and one in the spring
Webelos may attend a campout every month (varies by den)

As with every Excellent program, we always need financial help to ensure a quality experience for our scouts. Pack 161 participates in several fundraisers through the year to supplement funding for many of our events. If you know of any companies that are willing to donate services, supplies, or match fundraiser money please let us know. Every little bit helps.

Wanted!

Pack 161, just like the Army, is looking for a "few good men and women" to aid the pack in a successful scouting year.

With your help, we can spread the load amongst many so that no one person is overwhelmed or overburdened by it all.

This is YOUR pack. It is only as good as its volunteers.

The following positions are NOT LIMITED to those who wear a uniform! If any of the mentioned positions appeals to you please let Jana Reph or Barbara Powers know.

Our pack requires active participation to help make it smooth operation and an enjoyable and meaningful experience for scouts and their families. Pack 161 is a family oriented pack. We want to include everyone in on the fun.

This url link has many of the leadership roles and the responsibilities that come with the role. Please browse this and see if anything matches your talents. This list only covers the basic Pack structure. It does not cover the "small stuff", but it gives you an idea of what the pack needs. Please note the information came from The Viking Council, so you will see that council listed in the instructions. Both the Circle ten and Viking councils follow a very similar structure. There may be slight differences in wording and setup, but close enough.

COMMITTEE MEMBERS 

( THE COMMITTEE IS OPEN TO ALL. This is simply a time to gather and plan activities for the next month. We welcome your ideas and help. ) 

 This is YOUR pack and it is run by people just like YOU. This is your chance to make a huge impact on the youth of this generation!!!!! 

Please prayerfully consider these extremely important and incredibly rewarding roles.

 Remember not all roles are leadership. Most are one time event roles. We have included the full list of possible ways to help us out for your consideration. Everything listed in green are major leadership roles the rest are part time or one time roles. Every little bit helps. 

Please note some roles are filled, but require a shadow to learn the role in order to aid in leader transition as leaders move on to ScoutsBSA roles.

There are also many training opportunities online and in person to aid in learning more about your chosen leadership role. Just ask your Cubmaster or Committee Chair and they will direct you to the position specific areas for you to concentrate on.
