Founded in the Fall of 1999, Pack 788 is a Cub Scout organization in the Far West End of Henrico County, Virginia and a member of Scouting America's Heart of Virginia Council.
The Pack is sponsored by and meets at Christ Church Episcopal, 5000 Pouncey Tract Road, in Glen Allen. The Church provides us with support and meeting space, and we, in return, work with the Church, and other organizations, on community service projects - an integral part of Scouting.
The Heart of Virginia Council currently has assigned Pack 788 to recruit from Kaechele, Rivers Edge and Shady Grove Elementary Schools. However, we are a large Pack, usually with 80-90 Cub Scouts, and we welcome kids from any local school. We typically also have representation from Twin Hickory, Colonial Trail and other elementary schools -- many of which do not have a designated Pack recruiting from them currently.
Pack 788 meets on Mondays when Henrico County Public Schools are in-session:
- Dens meet every Monday from September through May.
- 6:00-7:00PM – Lions (KG), Tigers (1st Grade), Wolves (2nd Grade), Bears (3rd Grade)
- 7:00-8:00PM – Webelos (4th Grade), Arrow of Light (5th Grade)
- Pack meetings are held with ALL scouts and their guardians once a month.
- 6:00-7:30PM – Pack Meetings
During the summer months, the Pack continues with special summer-time activities once a month, as well as attending both Cub Scout Day Camp and Cub Scout Adventure Camp, sponsored respectively by the James River District and the Heart of Virginia Council.
Our success in having a healthy Pack 788 comes from the parent volunteers. Cub Scouting is an organization where parents need to actively participate with their sons and daughters. It is essential, therefore that the parents of every scout be willing to invest some time to help them grow with Scouting.
