Join us for the Bay Lakes Council Cub Scout Pack Parent Orientation, where we will inform you about our pack's operations, discuss the Cub Scout Advancement Program, and emphasize the importance of parental involvement. You will meet our dedicated pack leaders, including the Cubmaster and Den Leaders, and learn about the various Cub Scout ranks, from Tiger Cubs to Webelos. We will answer all your questions about Scouting and share information on meetings, special activities, finance, training, camping, and more. We're excited to support your child's Scouting journey!
