We are part of the Rancho San Luis Rey District within the San Diego-Imperial Council (SDIC) # 049. We are chartered by the Pacific Youth Alliance, and have a partnership with the San Luis Rey Valley United Methodist Church. We typically meet at the church, and sometimes hold larger meetings at either Mission Meadows Elementary School or the Mission Branch Library.
In Pack 787, Scouts get to experience and learn about everything from camping to community involvement to sporting activities, and much more! We hope that they will form lasting friendships with the fellow Cub Scouts in their den and pack – and that the families will also have the chance to meet and form great relationships based on shared experiences, goals, and triumphs. Cub Scouts is a family program. One of our goals is to strengthen family bonds.
We typically have 20 to 30 boys and girls in the Pack, with 4 to 6 kids of the same grade per Den.
The Cub Scouting program is now open to boys and girls, to better serve today’s busy families. By welcoming both girls and boys into the program, even more youth will have access to the character development and values-based leadership that Scouting promises. You can find more information on Family Scouting here.
Our Dens meet twice a month, there is a monthly parent meeting, and a monthly Pack Show where we all come together for recognitions and group activities. Other events and activities are scheduled using the ScoutBook platform, and good old word of mouth.
A little more about the program
Cub Scouts is one of several programs under the Scouting America organization, serving all youth from grades K-5.
Scouting America’s mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Cub Scouting is fun for the whole family. In Scouting, boys and girls start with their best right now selves, and grow into their very best future selves. It’s fun, hands-on learning, and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today – and for life. You can learn more about the aims and methods, benefits, and costs of the Cub Scout program here. Be sure to watch the short video for parents new to Scouting.
