Pack 8 is an inclusive and family-oriented group with about 60 boys and girls from kindergarten through 5th grade from schools in southern Montgomery County Maryland.  

Are you ready for an exciting 2025-2026 year of scouting with Pack 8?!

Your Pack 8 leadership team has worked hard over the summer to ensure we have an amazing program. First things first - we need to get everyone enrolled!

If you are new to scouting and you haven't enrolled in the national scouting website please click here.  Once you application is approved you will get an email from our New Member Coordinator, with a username and password for our site. 

If you are a returning scout you should have received an email from us with details on how to log in and pay your dues.  If you did not receive an email let us know (link) and we will get it sorted out.     

Our first activity is marching in the Kensington Labor Day Parade on September 1st.

Our first pack meeting is September 8th, 2025.  We will be building model rockets, review the plan for the year, and answer questions.

In the interim, if you have questions about joining, including scholarship availability, please email me.

Thanks for visiting our website and we look forward to sharing another exciting year of scouting!

Yours in service -
