ABOUT PACK 668
WHO WE ARE
Pack 668's Scouts primarily attend Lakeridge Elementary and Island Park Elementary but we welcome anyone to join us - if you have friends in our pack or if we are a fit for what you want out of Scouting.
Pack 668 is made up of approximately 40 boys in grades K-5, along with their families.
Pack 668 invites girls and their families to join us now that girls are a part of Cub Scouts (as of 2018).
Pack 668's leadership are all volunteers with children in our Pack.
Pack 668's charter organization is the Rotary Club of Mercer Island, an organization with no religious affiliation.
WHAT WE DO
Pack 668 hikes and snowshoes annually.
Naturally, the Pack goes camping and attends a summer camp.
Pack meetings include activities like Pinewood Derby, Raingutter Regatta, Space Derby and even rocketry!
The pack also does service projects like park clean-ups.
Overall, the Pack makes Scouts more capable, more confident, and better citizens.
WHEN DO WE MEET
Pack 668 usually meets once a month as a pack from September through June. Pack meetings host some of our major events, such as the Pinewood Derby.
Pack 668 dens usually meet individually once a month and typically follow activities and events recommended by the Scout Handbook for rank advancement within that den's level.
Pack 668 holds additional events, such as campouts and hikes mixed in throughout the non-summer months.
Summer activities are optional and not central to rank advancement.
WHERE DO WE MEET
Pack 668's Mercer Island footprint tilts toward the South End of the Island. But it's a small island and you'll no doubt know/meet people you have/will run across in other kids activities.
Pack 668 holds most indoor pack meetings in at the Congregational Church on Mercer Island.
Den meetings are commonly at the Mercer Island library or local parks.
Pack 668 will hike or snowshoe the Cascades, typically somewhere in the I-90 corridor.
