Cub Scout Pack 8 is located in the Madison – Monrovia area of North Alabama. The pack was started in 1974 and is sponsored by the Madison Optimist Club. Pack 8 is in the Talakto District, in the Greater Alabama Council.

Cub Scouts are organized by grade or age into Dens. Each den works together under the leadership of a Den Leader to earn their Ranks. The ranks in Cub Scouts are:

• Lion (Kindergarten or age 6)
• Tiger (1st Grade or age 7)
• Wolf (2nd Grade or age 8)
• Bear (3rd Grade or age 9)
• Webelos (4th Grade or age 10)
• Arrow of Light (5th Grade or age 11)
