Have you been to the local police station and talked to the policemen on duty? Or visited the fire station and sat in the driver’s seat of the pumper truck? Or visited the local TV station and sat in the news anchor’s chair? These are some of the places you might go with your den or pack in Bedford and Euless!
Integrated with STEM
STEM is a key part of the Cub Scout program. Not only does it mean that Scouts will be preparing to be productive adults in the 21st century, but it also means that the program is focusing on things that 21st-century youth like and care about. STEM is alive and well in Pack 847.
Citizenship and Service
As a Scout, there is a heavy focus on citizenship through service. Cub Scouts learn about their country, participate in flag ceremonies, and become active in their community. Scouts also give back to their community by participating in events such as Scouting for Food and Trash Bashes.
Track Your Progress
Scoutbook online advancement system
Scouters can submit their ranks, adventures, and awards online. You will find this method to be easy, convenient, and accurate because you will enter the information yourself. After your information is entered, Unit leaders can approve all of your earned items and it will automatically update directly into the BSA’s official youth member record.
Scouting provides youth with an opportunity to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards. These opportunities not only help them when they are young but also carry forward into their adult lives, improving their relationships, their work lives, their family lives, and the values by which they live.
We will be placing flags for the Veteran’s Day holiday. Please have all leaders and Scouts are to be in their full uniform with belts, neckerchiefs, and slides.
This is a time to be Reverent and honor the men and women who have given their lives for this country.

Pack 847 is a traditional scouting unit. We operate according to the BSA established Aims and Methods of Scouting. With over 35 years of scouting history behind us, Pack 847 is a well-trained member of the Scouting community. We are committed to making a difference in the Hurst-Euless-Bedford community. Scouts often participate in community service activities such as volunteering time and collecting food for the hungry.
Purpose
A goal of Cub Scouts is to help youth develop into honorable adults. Scouting’s values can be incorporated into one’s home or school. Scouts have many opportunities to learn skills of leadership, of the outdoors, and of life. Each Scout decides what they will learn and how quickly they will do it. As a Scout progresses, the value of their achievements will be reinforced through recognition and accomplishments during outdoor adventures.
Our Plan
Cub Scouts uses eight fundamental methods to meet a Scout’s hope for fun and adventure, and to achieve Scouting’s aims of encouraging character development, citizenship, and mental and physical fitness. A Cub Scout pack functions best when all eight methods are employed.
