A Little about us...

Lake Arrowhead District Pack 89 is located in the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California.  Serving a community often called the jewel of the Southern California, our scouts are taught valuable life-building skills with the support of family, friends, and neighbors among the pines and oaks of our mountain.

With so many outdoor opportunities close at hand, Pack 89 stays extremely busy, with up to three pack activities a month.  These activities are further supported by each den's activities.

Cub Scouting is the phase of the program offered by the Boy Scouts of America for boys in the first through fifth grade.  The purposes of Cub Scouting are to help parents and community organizations serve boys by:

• Positively influencing character developments and encouraging spiritual growth

• Helping boys develop habits and attitudes of good citizenship

• Encouraging good sportsmanship and pride in growing strong in mind and body

• Improving understanding with the family

• Strengthening their ability to get along with other boys and to respect other people

• Fostering a sense of personal achievement by helping boys develop new interests and skills

• Showing how to be helpful and do one's best

• Providing fun and exciting new things to do

• Preparing boys to become Boy Scouts

For a GREAT introduction to what Cub Scouting is all about, take a moment to visit www.JoinCubScouting.org.  Have your future Scout with you to watch the videos, play the games, and explore the fun.

Becoming A Member...

We are always looking for families to join Cub Scouts any time of the year.

Who can join?  Boys first through fifth grade who are interested in having fun, meeting new people and who want to learn new and exciting things are eligible in joining the Cub Scouts of Pack 89.  If your son is enthusiastic about joining the summer before first grade, join us and let us welcome him as a new Tiger Cub.

How can you join?   To join, attend the next pack meeting or activity.  Once there, a Pack leader will guide you along the sign-up process.  If you are unable to attend the next Pack meeting or activity then contact Daymond Allen, the CubMaster by email by clicking on the link at the bottom of the left frame (below the buttons), or call (909) 336-1773.

Benefits of joining:   Cub Scouts do fun things with other kids! They get to wear a cool uniform, go places and see things. They play all kinds of sports and build things, like race cars and bird houses. Want to learn a secret code? Want to learn about wild animals? Go Cub Scouting! 

For the Parents as well as the boys:  For you parents, Scouting is guaranteed quality time with your child, watching them with friends, feeling the satisfaction of accomplishment and success, and being proud to be a part of such a large brotherhood.  You can join Scouts yourself.  Many opportunities exist as a leader in the Den or the Pack.  For a better picture of what to expect from Scouting, read this Parent's Guide To Scouting.

Pack Membership Guidelines:   Scouting is for the boys, but definitely requires the support, assistance, and cooperation of the parents as well.  Our Pack 89 Guidelines booklet outlines everything each member of the family is responsible for, and what the Pack expects from each.  Please click here to take a look.  This document requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view.  You can download the free reader at www.adobe.com/acrobat .

Pack 89 Meetings...

Lake Arrowhead District Pack 89 holds meetings on the first Tuesday of each month (with occasional exception) at the Church of the Woods in Lake Arrowhead.  The general schedule for Pack meetings is as follows:

During Pack meetings, Dens will sit together, with their Den Leaders.  Each Den is encouraged to bring their Den flag and some sort of flagpole holder to display in their area.  The Scouts should also be prepared with a Den cheer or song!

*  If a Scout is on time to 14 of the 15 major activities we have each year (Pack Meetings and Events), and has been on time to 90% of the Den Meetings each Den has held, they will receive an Attendance Award.  There will also be a Uniform Inspection Award for the boys that have a perfect uniform every time and arrive on time to have it inspected.

**  Proper uniform includes Neckerchief & Slide, Hat, Belt, Pants/Shorts (blue jeans, khakis, or scout issue only)
