Cub Scouting is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give to a boy. The goal is to prepare boys for Boy Scouting and ultimately enable them to earn the rank of Eagle Scout, the most coveted award in scouting. The trained adult leadership team at Pack 12 strives to uphold the traditional core values that have been instilled in scouting for over a century.

Pack 12 is a thriving pack that serves, but is not limited to, the Berkeley-Ashton community also served by Ashton, Garvin, Cumberland Hill, Community, and BF Norton elementary schools and Mercymount Country Day School, Blackstone Valley Prep., and some home schooling. Boys who will be in grades 1-5 in the fall are encouraged to join and begin participating in all Pack 12 activities immediately. For more information contact Cub Master Mike Kenyon at cubmastermikek@gmail.com. Thanks.
