Welcome to Pack 1115!
We are thrilled to extend a warm invitation to new families interested in our incredible Cub Scout pack. At Pack 1115, we take great pride in providing an enriching and adventurous experience, helping our boys develop important skills and build great friendships.
As a member of our pack, your child will have the opportunity to engage in a wide array of exciting activities that promote character development, leadership, and a love for the great outdoors. From camping and hiking to exploring nature and learning valuable life skills, we offer a well-rounded program that ensures each scout grows in confidence and self-reliance.
By joining our Cub Scout pack, your family becomes part of a close-knit community that supports one another through the ups and downs of scouting. We strongly believe that family involvement is crucial to a scout's success, and we encourage parents to actively participate in our pack's activities. Whether it's lending a helping hand during our service projects, sharing your expertise during workshops, or cheering on your scout at pack events, your involvement will make a positive impact on your child's scouting journey.
The scouting year follows the school year, September thru June.
We meet at:
First Baptist Church Of Springfield

CUB SCOUT DENS & RANKS
In Cub Scouts, a child progresses from rank to rank, learning new skills as they go. As they go, the requirements get more challenging to match their new skills and abilities. Cub Scout advancement includes a wide range of group and individual activities kids enjoy. More importantly, the activities are carefully selected to encourage moral, physical, and intellectual development.
CUB SCOUTS DO FUN THINGS WHILE LEARNING
Cubs learn about their world in fun and exciting ways! They get to wear a cool uniform, visit interesting places, and see new things. They play all kinds of sports and build stuff like racecars and bird houses.
Projects in woodworking, leather-working, and sculpture teach planning and patience while giving confidence
Outdoor adventures such as camping, hiking, and fishing convey an appreciation for nature's majesty and teach the importance of preserving our environment.

The Pack will provide 3 meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner (and s'mores for our campfire! ) on Saturday and a quick breakfast on Sunday. Families should plan to have/bring their own dinner on Friday.
If you have any dietary needs please talk to your Den Leader so that everyone can be prepared. The Pack may not be able to accommodate everyone's needs but we will try.
What to Bring: Consult with your den leaders, but the following is a good starter for what you might want to bring (click here).
Forms: A health form (Parts A & B) will need to be submitted for ALL attendees (scouts, parents, siblings...). These are necessary for insurance purposes. If you have not already submitted these, give them to your den leader ASAP. (Health forms are valid for 1 calendar year. If you submitted these for summer camp, then you do not need to resubmit at this time.)
Pack 1115 strongly believes that no scout should miss out on an opportunity to participate because of possible financial hardship. If your family is in need of financial assistance in order to attend, please contact our Cub Master, Adam Kincaid to arrange support. Adamkincaid@gmail.com
