Cub Scout Pack 168 is a family oriented program of fun activities for boys in the first through fifth grade. We have been sponsored by St. Theresa's Roman Catholic Church for over 51 years -- since 1956!
The Pack meets in St. Theresa's School on Monday nights during the school year. There are no meetings over the summer but there is some family activities planned.
If you are in the 1st through 5th grade and think you may want to join, have a parent or guardian send an e-mail to pack168comm@pack168bsa.org and one of our adult leaders will contact you.
Members in Pack 168 come from St. Theresa School, St. Andrews School, John Winthrop School, Blackham School, Frenchtown School as well as Home School.
Although we are sponsored by St. Theresa's, children of all religions are welcome to join.
Scroll down the page to see photos and information about our activities and learn about some of the fun things we do. (Note that all overnight activities are family activities and require a parent or guardian to accompany the Cub scout).
