ABOUT PACK 1 HONG KONG
WHAT IS PACK 1 HONG KONG?
Cub Scout Pack 1 Hong Kong is an official member of Scouting America Far East Council, chartered through Hong Kong International School (HKIS). Advancement and awards earned through our Pack are officially recognized in the United States and vice versa. We are currently the only Scouting America Pack in Hong Kong. Our Pack welcomes students from all schools, not only students of HKIS.
Our Cub Scout Pack is made up of Dens: Each Den is made up of 6 to 10 scouts and led by a Den Leader and Assistant Den Leaders, who are parent volunteers.
WHEN AND WHERE DO WE MEET?
Pack meetings include all Dens and are held monthly during early evening usually at Hong Kong International School. Dens typically meet twice monthly after school and/or on the weekend. Special Annual Pack events include Pinewood Derby, Raingutter Regatta, and Blue & Gold Banquet.
Cub Scouting takes place across our community.
WHO RUNS IT?
Hong Kong International School is our charter sponsor, and our Pack is led by a dedicated Pack Commitee and Den Leaders across various ranks. Most importantly, our Pack, Dens and Activities run on VOLUNTEER power, registration fees, and our own fundraising! Therefore, parents (both moms and dads) interested in having their sons participate must be ready to volunteer and take on their share of responsibilities to ensure we offer a great experience for our boys.
If you have prior scouting experience, that's terrific! But, no prior scouting experience is necessary. We have an extensive How-To library in development and we often Google best practices from other Packs.
We follow the Cub Scout Motto: Do Your Best!
