The Best Cub Scout Pack in Bucks County

A family friendly program shaping young men and women into exemplary students and citizens who get better grades at school and go further in life than boys and girls who are not involved with scouting.

Meetings regularly on Thursday nights from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm aligning with the school year. Our Pack is open to boys and girls from all local schools: Bedminster Elementary, Deibler Elementary, Seylar Elementary, and others. Any K to 5th grade boy or girl from any school is welcome!

With summer haziness clearing and charismatic Saturn visible in the night sky, September is a wonderful time to look up. Join us for a star watch at the Tohickon Boat Launch parking lot on Saturday, September 16. 🪐

Participation is free and open to the public. The astronomers from Bucks-Mont Astronomical Association will have telescopes available to look through and will be on hand to answer questions. Dress warmly and bring binoculars or your own telescopes if you have them. Bug spray is recommended this time of year. We ask that you leave your pets at home for the safety and comfort of other participants and to prevent potential damage to delicate equipment. 🔭

Participants are welcome to arrive around 7:15 for discussion and make-your-own redlight flashlights, while we wait for darkness. Stargazing will commence closer to 8:00. 🔦

(Please check this website for updates in case the weather leads to postponement. Postponements, if any, will be communicated here by 5:00 PM on the day of the event. Rain Date: Saturday, September 23) 🌧

One photo says it all! 
Pack 196 keeps growing and thriving because of the leaders and adults that take charge on leading and guiding our boys…but more importantly the motivation by the Scouts and the joy they experience in Scouting. 
As our end of the year pack meeting emphasized, a Scout needs an ‘Akela’, to guide them on the path to Eagle. Not only do you as a parent, guardian or friend need to take on the responsibility of that role, but hopefully the people you surround your Scout and family with accept and honor that commitment as well.
Great way to start summer and grateful to be part of this group!

At our March Pack meeting we awarded new ranks to 5 Bobcats, and 2 Bears! Every scout received awards for adventures completed as well. We’ve been very busy during the winter months.
Then we had a special presentation on Raptors: Birds of Prey. Thanks so much to Katie Martens from Delaware Canal State Park for sharing with us!

The Pack 196 Webelos took over the Nockamixon Dam trails. These guys rocked an almost 3.5 mile hike to finish off their Webelos Walkabout adventure! There were steep inclines, declines, streams to cross, cliffs to ascend, and homemade lunchables to eat. ... See MoreSee Less

Great job! And nice choice of hike on the south shore - maybe we'll bring Da'Bears there for a shorter hike later this spring.

These boys kicked butt today and tackled more than just physical obstacles! Proud of my Webelos.

Looks like fun! Great day for it.

And we got to celebrate two birthdays! This was a great hike, thanks to Chris and Alyssa for organizing and leading.

Way to go Webelos!

Great job!!!

Outstanding!!

This years Blue & Gold banquet included our AOL and crossover ceremony. The Pack celebrates all 7 Scouts crossing over to a local Boy Scout Troop!
The Arrow of Light is both a rank and award and is the highest achievement in Cub Scouting, which is the only Cub award that can be worn in the BSA. The bridge highlights the scout law and also the 7 rays of the sun representing the 7 days of the week acting as a reminder that Scouts should do their best every day. We thank our leaders - Laura Glaudel and Jennifer Church as well as their parents and other leaders who have guided the Scouts, for they are better prepared for the adventures they will enjoy in Boy Scouts on their way to Eagle!

Nice to see Pack 196 still going strong!

Pack 196 take over @ Doylestown Rock Gym aka Adventure Center Inc.! This was our winter CAMP-IN where the Scouts climbed Friday night and Saturday morning and were able to sleep-over in the gym. Parents and leaders were taught how to safely belay climbers which created more trust and bonding among the Pack! Thanks for hosting us and looking forward to more climbing! ... See MoreSee Less
