About Us
Pack 100 is made up of girls and boys in Kindergarten through 5th grade. We meet as a Pack (all grade levels together) at least once per month - typically on the first Friday of each month at 6:30 PM. During the 2023-24 Season, the majority of our meetings will be held in the cafeteria at Abbot School. We strive to keep our Pack activities to Fridays because so many of our Scouts participate in Sports on the weekends. Sometimes our scheduled activities require that we meet during daylight hours, such as hiking, camping, and our annual Cubmobile race; these special events are held on weekends.
The Pack will host hiking throughout the season and family camping at least twice per season (Fall and Spring). We enjoy STEM activities, outdoor skills, and friendly competition. Our annual Pinewood Derby and Cubmobile events are Pack favorites! We also enjoy outings such as overnight outings to Battleship Cove or the Air Museum.
We strive to give back to our community as we teach the principles of Scouting. Pack 100 regularly participates in clean-up events and food drives.
In addition to being part of the Pack, Scouts are members of a den - which is specific to their grade level. Our dens coordinate their meetings amongst the member families, but typically meet 1-2 times per month. With their den, a Scout will complete age appropriate adventures, learn skills and earn awards as they gain experience to move to the next rank.
Scouting is a family activity. We ask parents/caregivers to choose at least one Pack event annually to volunteer their time, and to assist at the Den level. Siblings are always welcome at our Pack and Den events.

Troop 159 Invitational
The Cub Scout program is designed for youth in Kindergarten through 5th grade. In March of their 5th grade season, our AOL Scouts will graduate from their Cub Scout journey and have the opportunity to join a Troop!
A Scouts BSA Troop is the fundamental unit offering the Scouting America program. Troops welcome youth aged 11 through 18.
Throughout the Fall, our 5th grade Arrow of Light Scouts will be visiting local Troops so that they can choose which group they would like to join when they crossover on March 14th.
On Saturday, October 5th, 4th and 5th graders in Pack 100 (Webelos and AOLs) are invited to join Troop 159 at Camp Resolute to experience a Scout-led Troop outing.
Please RSVP to Troop 159 with the QR code on the left or with this link.
Contact the Pack if you would like to carpool.

Youth Safety and COVID Precautions
For the Scouting season 2023-24, the leadership committee met and drafted a tentative schedule for the year. As we planned, COVID restrictions had been greatly reduced and we have put together a plan that looks a lot like our pre-COVID years. As we have since 2020, we will stay up-to-date on changes as well as the direction from the CDC and BSA. We will adapt our plans as needed to ensure that we remain in compliance with state and local guidelines as well as the situations of our members. We will continue to put the safety of our Scouts and Pack 100 families first.
All events will follow the latest recommendations for social distancing, equipment cleaning, group sizes, and mask use if applicable. In addition, we will comply with BSA Youth Protection guidelines. All meetings and activities will continue to require participation of 2 trained leaders at a minimum (aka two deep leadership).
If you do not feel well, please stay home. We will work with you to make sure Scouts are able to make up any adventures or requirements missed when they are sick.
