Cub Scout Pack 772

Boy Scouts of America

Chartered by The Woodlands United Methodist Church 

In Cub Scouting, boys and their families have fun and adventure in a program that builds character and instills values. Cub Scouting embraces the values of citizenship, compassion, cooperation, courage, faith, health and fitness, honesty, perseverance, positive attitude, resourcefulness, respect, and responsibility. These values come to boys in all parts of the Cub Scout program—all while they're having a great time with their friends and families. 

Our Pack is an active family-oriented Cub Scout Pack with over 100 boys.  Parental participation in their boy’s scouting activities is highly encouraged and promoted.  Boys can join Cub Scouts at any age and is open to boys between the ages of 7 to 11 in grades 1^st thru 5^th.  Pack 772 meets on the first Monday of the month during the school year.  In 2007, Pack 772 earned the BSA Centennial Quality Unit award. 

Boys of the same age/grade level meet in smaller groups of 6-10 boys called Dens.  Dens generally meet 1-2 times per month in addition to the Pack meeting mentioned above. The day and time varies depending on what the Den Leader and the families in the Den decide. 

Our Pack activities include: 

• A fall family campout
• Raingutter boat regatta in October
• Pinewood derby race car event in March
• Spring family campout
• At least one overnight “sleepover” per year at various locations such as the Houston Zoo, Space Center Houston, Moody Gardens, or the U.S.S. Lexington.
• During the summer, we participate in a week long Day Camp at Cub World, 2-night Webelos Resident Camp at Bovay Scout Ranch, and have a pack pool party.
• In October of each year, we hold our one annual fundraiser by taking orders and delivering Christmas wreaths, centerpieces, and other seasonal greenery. 

Me-toos: (younger or older siblings of scouts) are encouraged to participate in campouts, the regatta, and pinewood derby.  They may attend pack and den meetings. 

Faith: BSA believes that no member can grow into the best kind of citizen without recognizing an obligation to God, and encourages both youth and adult leaders to be faithful in their religious duties.  With the church as our sponsoring organization, we are active in performing our “Duty to God”.  We help the church with a yearly service project – Christmas Miracles, conduct God & Me and God & Family classes (part of the God & Country program), and participate in Scout Sunday.  We also hold Christian-based scout services on the Sundays we are camping.    

Awards: All boys can earn advancement awards during the scout year.  Advancement is the process by which a boy progresses from badge to badge, learning new skills as he goes. As a boy advances through the ranks, requirements are progressively more challenging, matching the increased skills and abilities of a boy as he grows older.  Many of our Webelos II scouts, (5^th grade boys) earn the Arrow of Light award, the highest award in Cub Scouting, before bridging over to Boy Scouts.
