What is a Charter Organization?

A Charter Organization is the sponsoring organization for a Cub Scout pack, usually a church, PTA, homeowners' association or other community group. The primary responsibilities of the Charter Organization are to select the leadership of the pack and provide a meeting place. The Chartered Organization actually "owns" the Pack. Pack 133’s Charter Organization is Friendship Baptist Church in The Colony at 4396 Main Street.

Why do all scouts and adult leaders wear uniforms?

The Boy Scouts of America has always been a uniformed body. We wear uniforms as a means of identifying ourselves. The uniform is not intended to hide our individuality. It is a bond which ties millions of scouts throughout the United States. It is a way of making visible our commitment to a belief in God, loyalty to country, and to helping other people.

When and where are the meetings held?

Each Den schedules its own meetings. Schedules are usually coordinated between the families comprising the den to permit maximum attendance. Dens will meet at least twice a month and may even be weekly.

I am a new adult leader. How can I quickly get some training to get an idea of what I should do?

The Cub Scouts require three types of introductory training – Youth Protection, Fast Start and Cub Scout Leader Basic Training. See the Leaders section for details.

Is there a certain time of the year when we have to join?

No. You are welcome to join at any time. We have our annual recruiting drive usually during the first month of school, but there is no requirement that you join at that time. Contact any leader for more information.

I've heard that Scouting is a Father/Son activity. I'm a single mother can my son still join?

Definitely! Scouting in Pack 133 is a family affair and all parents are encouraged to participate. Furthermore, while at the Tiger Cub level, an adult partner is necessary for joining, at the higher ranks the boy doesn't have to have a parent with them for all activities.
