Earlier this year the BSA announced that for the first time ever, girls would be allowed to join the Cub Scouts. What is your reaction to this announcement? Pack 8 will be hosting an open house in March for parents to discuss the BSA’s announcement and voice their opinions regarding how Pack 8 should move forward. If you have questions, please review the information and watch the videos at these links:

Information regarding the integration of girls into Boy Scouts can be found here:

In summary:
For Cub Scouts, the options are:
- Packs could have girl dens and boy dens, but not coed dens.
- Packs could remain all boy and not serve girls.
- A new all-girl pack could be started.
At the Boy Scout level, troops will not be integrated. A Chartered Organization may choose to sponsor an all-girl Troop that would share the same Committee, but have separate Scoutmaster, Asst. Scoutmaster, etc.
