Pack 29 Information
Cub Scouting was first organized in 1930, when the Boys Scouts of America realized that not every boy in the United States was experiencing the fun of Scouting. For many years, boys too young to join the Scouting movement (younger brothers, neighbors, and friends) had been tagging along on campouts, service projects, and other fun-filled activities with older Scouts but not reaping the benefits of being Boy Scouts. To accommodate this younger generation of motivated boys, the BSA created Cub Scouts. An exciting and adventurous program coupled with skills and values development became an instant hit. Today, Cub Scouting provides more than two million boys from all backgrounds with healthy doses of constructive fun and an underlying emphasis on traditional values and service. Cub Scouting enrollment is open year-round, so you can join anytime.

Meetings are at 6:30 every Tuesday during the school year at United Methodist Church, Somerset Avenue, Taunton, MA. The dens and pack do not meet during school vacations or holidays. Meetings last approximately 60-90 minutes.
