ABOUT PACK 136

The Pack Committee and Leaders of Cub Scout Pack 136 are committed to providing a quality, year-round program of Cub Scouting activities. Special emphasis is placed on Character development, skills development, spiritual growth, citizenship and family values. We are part of the Ohio Valley District and Simon Kenton Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

Charter Organization

A pack must be chartered from the BSA by a local organization. The Charter Organization provides a place for meetings, and approves the Pack Leadership. These Charter Organizations can be churches, professional organizations, government bodies, educational, civic, business, labor, or citizens' groups. Cub Scout Pack 136 and Boy Scout Troop 136 are both chartered by the First Presbyterian Church of Grove City. The First Presbyterian Church of Grove City has proudly supported continuous Scouting since 1947. Scouting is an important part of the First Presbyterian Church's youth programs. Many of the present church leadership were once members of Troop 136 as youth. The First Presbyterian Church of Grove City is located at 4227 Broadway in Grove City, Ohio.

The Pack

The Pack serves as a "parent" organization to the Dens and provides direction, program support and maintenance of the budget. The Pack is led by the Pack Committee that consists of all of the Den Leaders, Committee Chairman, Cubmaster, Treasurer, Secretary and several other volunteer leaders.

Pack 136 holds monthly Pack Committee meetings at the First Presbyterian Church of Grove City. The Pack Committee plans and organizes all of the Pack 136 programs and activities. Packs are devided into different Dens with each containing 6-12 boys. Dens are made up of boys in the same grade and age, so they can work together to earn the appropriate Rank badge.
