Pack 1 provides scouting activities to young boys and girls in the Vestavia Hills, AL area. Through those activities we strive to teach boys and girls the principles of Scouting through respect for the individual and to develop and use their potential to the best of their ability. Our boys and girls like things that go fast! So we offer opportunities like building and racing model cars in the Pinewood Derby, perfecting archery skills at Cub Haunted and winning relay races at Cub Scout Summer Camp. Our Cub Scouts are fierce competitors, but also excellent sportsmen.
We go hiking and camping in the spring, summer and fall. We participate in activities like swimming, climbing walls, archery and BB guns. We toast marshmallows and make s'mores over a campfire, sing songs and play silly games. We study the natural world and the wildlife that lives in it while respecting the environment and leaving no trace when we go home. All of this we do in the spirit of Scouting.
We have fun while learning and building character in every boy and girl who passes through Pack 1. Our adult leaders instill good values in the boys and girls while ensuring everyone is meeting challenges, doing things they like to do and developing strong friendships throughout the year. We encourage boys and girls to recognize their duty to God and encourage each and their adult leaders to be faithful in their religious duties. Our Cub Scouts learn duty to God, country, others and self.
The Cub Scouting program is uniquely designed to meet the needs of young boys, girls, and their parents, through offering fun and challenging experiences that boys, girls, and parents do together.

Young boys and girls grow up fast. Give your son and daughter a valuable gift by encouraging him/her to join Cub Scouting today. The time you invest in him/her today will make a difference in the person he/she becomes tomorrow.
Cub Scouting is for children in the Kindergarten through fifth grades, or 5 - 10 years of age. Boys and girls who are older than 10 (or who have completed the fifth grade) can no longer join Cub Scouting, but they may be eligible to join the Scouts BSA or Venturing programs.
Express your interest to the pack leaders—the Cubmaster, chartered organization representative, or members of the unit committee. While there's no guarantee that a specific role or position will be available—and there may be a selection process among several candidates even if the position is currently vacant—there is usually some way in which you can contribute, and most units are glad for any offer of help.
