Strong and Growing
The Pack 157 Way

No scoreboard.
No rankings.
Just adventure.

Pack 157 isn't about who comes out on top. It's about everyone growing together. There's no scoreboard. There are no rankings. Just a great group of kids building something real, one adventure at a time.

Every badge earned makes the whole pack stronger. Kids learn to bring what they're good at, creativity, leadership, problem solving, and contribute it to a team. Here, everyone's growing, and everyone's cheering.

What they learn here goes way beyond knots and campfires.
It's how to work with people, how to lead, how to be a good friend. The kind of stuff that only happens when you're in it together - kids and parents, side by side.

"One Scout's win is everyone's win."

A rhythm that
fits your family.

Two meetings a month. Seasonal adventures sprinkled in.
Predictable enough for working parents, flexible enough for real life.

Pack Meetings

The full pack, all grades together. Awards, announcements, visiting guests — and usually some controlled chaos. The best night of the month.

From Our Community

What Weston parents actually say.

No marketing copy. Real families.

We weren't sure what to expect.
The friendships, for the kids and for us, genuinely surprised us.

It's one of the few things we do where the parents are just as involved as the kids. We're all figuring it out together, and honestly, that's half the fun.

What does it actually cost?

Annual dues cover national registration, our supplies, and most in-town activities. Overnight campouts and summer camp are priced separately and kept affordable. Scholarships are available, no questions asked — email us and we'll handle it quietly.

How much time will this take?

Two meetings a month — one Pack Meeting (all grades) on a Wednesday and one Den Meeting (your grade) monthly — plus one weekend adventure every other month. Attend what works for your family! You get out of it as much or as little as you want.

Do I need to volunteer?

We love parent involvement but nothing is required. Dens run best when parents pitch in, but we'll always ask before assuming.

My kid has never camped. Problem?

Not at all — half of our Scouts start the same way. We ease in with short, in-town campouts and a lot of experienced families around to help first-timers.

What grade can my child join?

Kindergarten through 5th grade, any time during the school year. Mid-year joiners catch up quickly.

Is Pack 157 open to all kids?

Yes. All backgrounds, all family shapes, all abilities. Every kid can succeed here — and we mean it.

— Ready when you are

Come meet the pack.

The easiest way to know if Pack 157 is right for your kid is to show up to a meeting. No commitment, no sign-up, no paperwork. Bring your Scout, watch a night happen, ask us anything.
