Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 647 !!!! 2008-2009

Starting today, Cub Scout Pack 647 has this new website which will be used to inform our parents of upcoming events and all pertinent information on the pack. We will be updating the site and adding new items as we continue throughout the scouting year. There is also a Pack 647 calendar located at the bottom of this page which is a one-stop shop to find all the events within our pack.

Please send all information that you would like published to cubscouts647@gmail.com.

Today was also the first meeting of the 2008-2009 scouting season. Welcome to the new scouts and parents that joined during today's meeting.

Our leaders for the 2008-2009 Cub Scout season are as follows:

Omari Sankofa - Cub Scout Master

Harold Holmes - Assistant Cub Scout Master

Eilene Gordon-King - Den Leader

Nash Watt - Treasurer

Njoki Wainaina - Popcorn Kernel

We are looking for volunteers to fill positions on our Pack Committee. If you are willing and able, please sign up and volunteer.

Cub Scouts and parents meet on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays at 12:30pm in the Youth Lounge on the lower level of Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, located at 18700 James Couzens Fwy, Detroit, MI 48235.

The dues for the 2008-2008 season are $60 for new cub scouts and $55 for returning cub scouts. Make out all checks to "Cub Scout Pack 647" and submit them to the Treasurer. The dues include a one year subscription to "Boy's Life" Magazine.


Each new scout will need a uniform. You can order the uniform online or buy the uniform at the main Scouting Office at 1776 West Warren Avenue in Detroit, MI. Each scout will need the following:

<> Cub Scout Shirt - long or short sleeve
<> Cap for Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webolos
<> Neckerchief and Slide for Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webolos
<> Belt for Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webolos
<> Manual for Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webolos
<> Detroit Area Council Patch
<> Unit Numerals - 6, 4, 7

Scouts may wear jeans or blue pants - there is no need to buy the cub scout pants. Here are links to pictures of uniforms for each level of cub scout:
<> Tiger (first grader)
<> Wolf (2nd grader)
<> Bear (3rd grader)
<> Webolos (4th and 5th graders)

While it is optional, you son will probably also want a red brag vest so that he can wear it and proudly display all the patches he will receive while he is a cub scout. Those parents who can sew can make this red vest instead of buying it (see Mrs. Gordon-King for ideas. Her son's vest is hand designed and trimmed in African inspired kuba cloth)...
