Who we are.
Cub Scout Pack 196 is a volunteer organization committed to providing boys in our area with a rich, fulfilling, and character-building experience that teaches values of citizenship, community, self and family. We are a family oriented and relaxed unit that meets weekly at the Presbyterian Church of Deep Run in Perkasie/Bedminster. We draw primarily from Deibler Elementary School & Seylar Elementary School in Perkasie, but we encourage any 1st to 5th grade boys to get involved with us or any other area Cub Scout Pack. The Pack organizes and participates in a number of events throughout every program year (which roughly follows the school year).
